The leaderboard below shows how the top CPG fruit juice brands are performing on Facebook. This data is for the month of July, 2015.
Several interesting things stand out. The average posting volume of 20 is about 1 time per weekday, with Dole posting 45 times.
You can also see from Minute Maid’s engagements generated that you don’t have to have the most fans or the most posting volume to generate a lot of engagement. How are they doing that? It looks like a lot of their engagement has come from promoted posts, as you can see by comparing the total Engagements to the 24h Engagement columns. The bigger the difference between those two, the more likely they’re driving a lot of engagement from promotion (more on our post promotion detection method here).
That said, even when filtering out much of the promotional impact, as the 24h Engagement column does, we still see Minute Maid generating the most engagement, with a below-average fan count and posting volume.
Brands wanting to assess what works in this industry on Facebook would do well to analyze Minute Maid’s activities. Things like when they schedule their posts, what media format they use, and what topics they post about. Zuum’s Subject Analyzer is a good way to launch into that type of analysis. Below, you can see a summary of Minute Maid’s public posting on Facebook for July.
