Rohit Awasthi, Co-Founder of Solomo Salsa,  gives us a sneak peek into their client list and enlightens us about the inner workings and thoughts that led up to exciting and rewarding work for these clients.

Ferns N Petals

Ferns N Petals is a leading Indian florist and gifting portal. With over 180 outlets in 72 cities nationwide and delivering across 155 countries worldwide, Ferns N Petals pioneered the concept of social expression in India. Solomo partnered with Ferns N Petals in the latter half of 2013.

The main objectives include increasing visibility, monthly visits and transactions for Ferns N Petals. To achieve these, the content strategy focuses on connecting with the audience on an emotional level, through posts that elicit responses. The posts are a subtle reminder of the need for communicating the feelings and emotions through gifts and flowers.

Recently, to promote Rakshabandhan hampers and gifts, the creatives have been designed to communicate the fun-filled relationship between a brother and a sister and promote them to engage with the page.

Popular themes like love and friendship are taken up and presented with a twist!

Speaking Tree

Speaking tree is India's first spiritual networking site, belonging to the Times Group.  Partners since mid 2013, the main objectives are to increase the awareness and reach of the speaking tree community and drive traffic to the speaking tree website. The strategy employed by Solomo to achieve these goals is the use of a mix of riveting facts, trivia and interest-piquing titles - a healthy combination of image and link posts to drive traffic to their website.

For the launch of Speaking Tree in Hindi, Solomo devised a strategy to answer some questions based on the activities that are ingrained in the Indian culture and yet are rarely answered. It worked well for the brand, as a huge number of people were directed to their website.

A recent campaign featured posts that encouraged education for all. The campaign revolved around the low level of education and high drop-out rates in schools.

The Mobile handset division of Videocon Group has been a Solomo partner since July 2013. Videocon Mobile phones is making a big push for the growing smartphone and tablet market in India. They offer great value products, combined with the latest technology and style.

For instance:

On the occasion of Valentine’s Day, a campaign was created to portray Videocon A55qHD, their flagship phone as a gifting option this Valentine's Day.  A Facebook App was created with templates of e-cards. The person could choose any of them, personalize it & then share after answering "Why A55qHD is the perfect gift for your Valentine?" The creatives were made with a Valentine theme, invoking the  "aww"-feeling.

Impact: we had more than 1154 unique users sharing the e-cards.
