LET’S SHINE SOME LIGHT ON THE MATTER
Cakes by Henno is a local bakery that was hit hard by the COVID-19 lockdown. Henno, the owner and baker could no longer trade and do what he loves which is to bake beautiful cakes. Once the lockdown was lifted Henno was looking for a way to let his customers know that he was back in business. He was eager to discover a way to communicate with customers that would allow him more time for baking and less time on administrative tasks.
Arora Online came on board and gave the brand a refreshed look and feel. We crafted thumb-stopping social media content to let Henno’s customers know that he was back in the bakery and ready to bake up a storm.
THE LIGHT BULB MOMENT
Arora Online created a social media strategy that included increasing his Facebook following and digitally transforming his business by implementing WhatsApp for Business. In addition, we wanted to show potential customers how easy it is to order a cake from Cakes by Henno via WhatsApp for Business.
We designed a simple infographic and showed customers step-by-step instructions on how to order a custom cake from Henno. Eye-catching GIFs were created to increase social media engagement and a follower campaign was implemented. As a result, Cakes by Henno gained over 1 000 new followers during the 4 week campaign. We devised a competition where the prize was a cake worth R650 – which saw a phenomenal engagement rate of 53% on the competition post.
