19. Evaluation of the current online presence of L'Oréal Paris
L’Oréal’s Facebook Strategy
1. Different Marketing Strategies & Facebook pages for each country
If you search for L’Oréal Paris on Facebook, you will have the option to chose between different pages: USA, France,
Brazil, Pakistan, Germany, etc. The company’s marketing strategy changes according to the country, which applies to
Social Media Marketing as well: Italy is very social, but Germany is the opposite, for example.
2. Guide your Customers before & after their Purchase
The company uses Facebook and other Social Media platforms to get the customers’ attention: You can be in a
store and then search for a product and watch a how-to video on your phone and that can increase your purchase
intent. We’re not looking at the product-centric strategy which we used to at L’Oréal. They also use these platforms
to follow-up with their customers after a purchase, via L'Oreal's Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, YouTube
channel, etc.
3. Create Content that stimulates Social Conversation
Creating the right content that will engage your audience is a must. Women love to talk about what lipstick they’re
wearing, what lipstick was Sonam wearing from the Cannes. Beauty is always part of the social conversation. Women
are always interested in what other women are wearing, doing, beauty tips. L’Oréal interacts with its fans on Facebook
by asking questions, giving out beauty tips, launching contests and encouraging fans to share their stories. The
brand often simply asks the audience to ‘Like’, ‘Comment’ or ‘Share’ posts as well as vote for their
favourite celeb look.
