5. But we really wanted to answer this question
What is the actual monetary
value of a Facebook fan for
Bulmers as a brand?

7. Approach
Bulmers Facebook fans Control cell
Recruited via tab installed on the Sub-sample of cider drinkers via
Bulmers Facebook Page TNS panel to allow comparison
(241 in total) (198 in total)
• Each group took part in a 10 minute online interview
• Results in this presentation represent the first stage of the study which may
include subsequent tracking to understand if value and commitment are
building over time and measure the extent of the reward from continued
investment

8. A few considerations
We recruited Bulmers fans through the Bulmers fan page, therefore:
• Fans recruited in this manner may be biased towards the Bulmers brand, as
they are conscious of taking part in a survey for the brand
• Fans that respond are more likely to be active fans, and may result in a
sample of more brand/page loyalists than the average Facebook fan
• Almost all fans were interviewed on a single day, and the promptness of
response from the fans may have resulted in a sample overrepresented with
heavy Facebook users

10. Bulmers fans consume significantly more v
regular Bulmers drinkers who are not fans
• Plus significantly more likely to have consumed Bulmers No. 17; the focus of
our 2011 marketing campaign.

14. Calculating the value of a fan
Look at fans and non-fans separately, identifying the regular
Bulmers drinkers in each group
vs.
How many serving of each Bulmers flavour do they claim to have
drunk over the past week (both on- and off-trade)?
Use the average retail value of each serving to identify
the spend for each group = £
Take the difference between the two values to work out the
incremental value of a Bulmers fan = £

This is about turning a simple fan into one that is more engaged with the page (i.e. – an advocate) We need supporting data on how that ’s done, and how people identify with brand pages [diagram on cycle of engagement maybe?]
