Over the past few months, RDW was entrusted with the social media management of Balance Emporium, a new but fast-growing sleep spray business. Our primary objectives were to increase website views, build brand awareness, and establish a distinct online presence that resonates with the brand’s core audience.
The Challenge
-
Growing Website Traffic: Balance Emporium needed more consistent and higher-quality traffic directed to their website to boost sales and overall brand engagement.
-
Platform-Specific Strategies: The company’s existing Instagram and TikTok channels needed distinct content approaches. Instagram is suited towards more aesthetic, portfolio-like posts. Whilst TikTok required more playful, but authentic content.
-
Transition from Previous Management: The founder needed a re-brand in terms of social content. The previous agency had been over-using stock imagery, which was impersonal and did not reflect the brand’s ethos.
Our Approach
-
Platform Tailoring
-
Instagram as a Portfolio: We focused on creating a clean, visually appealing feed that highlighted the product’s sleek design and the calming nature of the sleep spray. Reels and imagery were carefully curated to maintain an aspirational, cohesive aesthetic.
-
TikTok for Experimentation: To appeal to a broader, more playful audience, we produced Founder vlogs, comedic skits, and behind-the-scenes content. This approach emphasised authenticity, helping viewers connect with the brand on a personal level.
-
User-Generated Content (UGC)
-
We moved away from stock imagery, and created our own unique photos and videos with the products. This not only built trust but also allowed prospective customers to see genuine experiences with the product.
-
Trending Audio & Educational Content
-
By tapping into trending music and sounds, we increased the chance of virality.
-
We incorporated educational clips on better sleep habits and the benefits of the spray, catering to users looking for practical tips as well as products.
-
Consistent Posting & Paid Ads
-
RDW created an advanced content calendar and maintained a reliable posting schedule to keep the brand top-of-mind.
-
Targeted paid advertising campaigns were launched on both Instagram and TikTok, aimed at specific demographics identified as high-converting.
-
Influencer Marketing & Competitions
-
Collaboration with micro-influencers in the wellness space amplified the brand’s message to niche communities.
-
During Sleep Awareness Month, we ran a competition offering a £100 discount off any spa in the UK. This helped drive engagement and encouraged word-of-mouth promotion.
