That's Mine! My Name's on It!

Let's say you sell trendy furniture for family-friendly prices. What's the best way to push product and spread brand awareness? Well, you could try developing and offering:

A showroom. Pros: People see products in context, and they can buy them right then and there! Cons: You don't reach potential buyers who aren't in the store.

A catalog. Pros: Again, people see products in context, and they can view them right in their own homes! Or in a waiting room! Cons: They can't buy right away. A busy mom might bookmark a couch she likes and forget about it, or just never mail in her order form or call you.

A social-network profile. Pros: Google will index it, and fans will find you. Cons: You have to find ways to engage them once they arrive.

While I think this is a marvelous example of how Facebook can help a name go viral, I would be interested in learning more about the financial results of this campaign. In other words, has this Ikea store actually gained more customers, or simply given away a LOT of furniture?

Nice job Tara! I agree. We hear about lots of neat ideas using social media. I have a ton of ideas too. But "show me the money". I'd like to see some complete campaign results. Show me a nicely researched strategy. We'll orchestrated tactics. Then, show me the results. And especially the ROI.
