The Cookie Corner case study: $1 Cookie Promotion

The Cookie Corner Facebook page launched in June 2017 with Instagram following 1 month later. Both platforms achieved early successes, with steady increases in follower-ship. In September of 2017, we ran a promotion offering $1 cookies for any customer who could show that they were following Cookie Corner on Facebook or Instagram.  With the exception of a few boosted posts, this was an entirely organic campaign (meaning it did not include paid social media advertising).
