What worked and what hasn’t?
• Facebook hasn't worked as a conversion medium. • Twitter has given us 5-7% of our total traffic in the last 2 years. 9-12% converted.
• Last 2 years 50% of our traffic has come from blogs/referring site.

What worked and what hasn’t?• A lot of competitions and contests were run on a daily basis on Facebook, where we gave out daily free vouchers for ice cream creations
• On twitter we were trying to woo our fans with cool Ice cream facts and discount coupons
• YouTube was employed to showcase the innovative juggling concept, the way we serve ice creams
• There was no specific one centralized strategy which could encapsulate the activities, but a mix of lot of innovative content combined with cool creative’s fetched us the engagement
