Chapman’s vs Nestle Drumstick: Facebook Presence

Facebook Presence of Ice Cream Brands

Chapman’s vs Nestle Drumstick

By Mitchell Laskowski

Chapman’s Ice Cream maintains a strong presence on Facebook. They post multiple times per week and are constantly responding to customer’s questions and comments. They do not follow the 50/50 rule considering almost all of their posts are specifically about Chapman’s Ice Cream.  They do offer lots of content to try and engage with their fan base such as ice cream design contests and free items giveaways.

 Chapman’s most popular post om Facebook is a preview post for some new products that they plan to release in 2017. This post received quite a positive response from fans receiving more than 900 likes and 87 shares. The comments show that the fans are interested in the new products and even make suggestions on how the brand can improve their new product line.

Nestle Drumstick is a different story when it comes to Facebook. They are not active posters, with only an average of 1-2 post per month. The posts show up more frequently during the summer months when they are receiving more business. Just like Chapman’s, they do not follow the 50/50 rule as well. All of their post are centered around the Nestle Drumstick. No additional content is offered to help engage the fan base.  Some sort of contest or giveaway could bring a lot more life to this Facebook page.

The most successful post from Nestle Drumstick would have to be their Valentine’s Day from 2016. This little joke managed to get them over 700 likes along with 50 shares. Overall the comments in response to the post were positive.
