TACTICS (1) - SOCIAL POSTS

Action Plan: Keep creating engaging posts on social media that are targeted to the following personas:

  • Tobacco smokers
  • Other smokers

Post Frequency:

  • Facebook - 1x a day
  • Twitter - 1x a day

Engaging posts can be any of the following:

  • Others

We can also set up pages on Cannabis social networks and perform regular posts there.

Example sites:

TACTICS (2) - GIVEAWAYS

We’ll pay top giveaway promoters on Twitter and Instagram to do a giveaway on their pages and instruct their followers to follow the headshop’s page and like/retweet/share pinned tweets.

This doesn’t have to be a regular activity, only when there’s something that really needs to get maximum reach.
