In its first year on Facebook, Peapod, a regional business, has acquired more than 5,000 fans, cultivating a
highly active community that's translated to transactions and valuable business insights.
360PR™ recognized the power of Facebook as a customer relationship-building platform for Peapod, the leading Internet
grocer. The objective is clear: acquire and build relationships with consumers on Facebook and drive them to
Peapod.com for transactions.
We created the official Peapod Facebook Fan Page with a focus on consumer polls, promotions and information sharing.
Polls and interaction with fans on Peapod's Facebook Wall have proved valuable sources of consumer input – on where
Peapod should deliver next, for example. Facebook has enabled Peapod to address and overcome barriers to customer
acquisition, creating a forum for Peapod to dialogue with consumers about hot topics like the recycling of plastic
grocery bags.
Exclusive to Facebook fans, Peapod launched its FANtastic Deals tab, offering special, Facebook-only incentives.
Peapod also utilizes Facebook to engage the community in cause-related initiatives, such as its Refer-A-Friend
Program benefitting food banks.
