Chanel vs. Sephora on Twitter

An analysis on Chanel and Sephora's Twitter pages will determine each brands tweeting habits, content, and popularity.


Chanel



  • Chanel doesn't always tweet daily but when they do, they frequently tweet multiple times in the same day. 
  • For over a month, the majority of tweets have been videos and GIFS promoting their shows #HauteCouture, #FrontRowOnly, and #CocoCase. Due to the rich history Chanel has, they are extremely exclusive and don't see the need to use the 50/50 rule. They had an enormous loyal fan base before the rise of social media. 
  • Chanel's most recent successful post on the story of the Chanel Fall Winter 2017 show was reblogged by 9.4k twitter users and liked by 18k users. This tweet was successful because they showed a glimpse into the story of one of Chanel's shows and their newest collection. The video had well known celebrity figures, which would be another reason it became so popular.

Sephora



  • Sephora tweets daily, often several times a day. 
  • Regularly applies the 50/50 rule on their Twitter page, they post company and industry related content. Sephora is well aware of who their target market is, women between the ages of 16 to 30, and often post content which would appeal to them. They tweet tutorial videos, tips&tricks, and promotional content. Some of their tweets are meant to engage with their followers on a more personal level such as their recent tweet about International Womens Day.
  • The most recent successful tweet was of a GIF demonstrating how a variety of lip shades looked on different skin complexions. The tweet was reblogged by 220 users and liked by 590 users. By using a GIF to showcase their visually appealing content, they were able to create a successful post. So much can be expressed through a GIF and by using this form of expression, Sephora was able to show their followers "a full sprectrum of perfect-for-you trending lip colours". They used the hashtag #GIFparty to get their followers to promote their lip shades
