Success Story: How Social Media Marketing by Mel Helped Houston Brow Bar Thrive After Relocating to League City
When Houston Brow Bar relocated to League City in July, they faced a challenging situation. Although they were not a new business, the move to a new area meant they were starting from scratch in terms of local recognition. They needed a quick way to get their name out there, attract new clients, and, most importantly, generate enough business to cover their rent. That’s when they turned to me, Mel, at Social Media Marketing by Mel, for help.
The Challenge: Building a Local Presence and Generating Business Fast
Houston Brow Bar had established its reputation elsewhere, but League City was a fresh start. With no local clientele and a pressing need for revenue, the stakes were high. They needed an immediate influx of customers, and their visibility was practically zero in their new location. The solution had to be both swift and effective.
The Strategy: Engaging Content and Targeted Facebook Lead Ads
To address these challenges, I crafted a two-part strategy focused on:
- Creating Engaging Social Content: Before diving into paid advertising, I wanted to make sure Houston Brow Bar’s organic presence was strong. I developed engaging content for their Facebook and Instagram profiles, tailored to introduce the business to the League City community and showcase their services. The goal was to build trust and interest, ensuring potential customers would recognize the brand when they saw the ads.
- Launching a Facebook Lead Ads Campaign: Given the urgency of their situation, I knew that running Facebook Lead Ads was the most effective way to generate quick, qualified leads. I created a special promotion designed to attract immediate interest and entice potential clients to try Houston Brow Bar’s services.
However, before the ads could go live, we encountered a significant roadblock.
Overcoming Challenges: Unsuspending Their Meta Ads Account
Just as we were ready to launch the Facebook Lead Ads campaign, we discovered that Houston Brow Bar’s Meta Ads account was suspended. This could have caused a major delay, but I quickly took action. I contacted Meta Support and worked closely with them to understand the issue and request an unsuspension. Within 24 hours, I managed to get their account unsuspended and ready for ads.
But that wasn’t the only hiccup we had to address.
The Google Listing Hurdle: Ensuring Local Discoverability
While working on their social media strategy, I realized that Houston Brow Bar’s Google My Business listing was also suspended. This was another critical issue since a suspended listing could mean a significant loss of visibility for a local business. I dove into researching the cause and troubleshooting the issue, spending considerable time navigating Google’s support channels and refining the business information to comply with their policies. After some persistent work and careful adjustments, I finally got their Google listing reinstated, ensuring they could be easily discovered by local customers searching for brow services.
The Results: Generating Leads and Converting Sales
Once all the hurdles were cleared, the Facebook Lead Ads campaign went live, and the results were almost immediate. During the first month:
- 24 leads were generated through the Facebook Lead Ads campaign.
- More than half of these leads were converted into paying customers.
- Houston Brow Bar was able to cover their rent and build a foundation for growth in their new location.
The success of the campaign provided Houston Brow Bar with not just immediate business, but also a list of potential clients to follow up with. To keep the momentum going, we’re now working on an email marketing series designed to nurture the remaining leads and turn them into future appointments.
Conclusion: A Win-Win for Houston Brow Bar
In just a few weeks, Houston Brow Bar went from struggling to establish a presence in a new market to having a steady stream of clients. By combining effective social media content with a targeted Facebook Lead Ads campaign, we were able to help them achieve their immediate goal of generating business quickly. The successful resolution of their Meta Ads account and Google listing suspensions was critical in ensuring all channels were open and working in their favor.
Key Takeaways:
- Swift action and adaptability were crucial to overcoming initial setbacks.
- Combining organic content strategies with paid ads can effectively build brand awareness and drive immediate results.
- Resolving technical issues like account suspensions is essential to fully leverage digital marketing efforts.
