Content Assessment: Jones Soda on Social Media


Jones soda could benefit from applying the 80/20 rule. For every 10 posts, 8 should be helpful to their customers and 2 should be self-promotion. Currently, most of the Jones Soda posts are self-promotion. Although their content is interesting and seems to resonate with their followers I think there could be an improvement of non promotional posts

Facebook
For the past few months, most of content on the Jones Soda Facebook page has been centered around their Jones RV campaign. Jones employs two Jones Soda RVs which travels the West and East coasts of handing out soda and talking to the people on the streets. Although most of the pictures posted on their wall are posted by Jones Soda. They feature people interacting with their brand but not so much people posting their own pictures. Also, many of their posts focus on promoting their custom label program which allows users to upload their own pictures as labels to put on their Jones Soda.

Twitter
Jones Soda has a lot of cool small online promotions going on through Twitter. Below are a few examples of how Jones Soda engages with their followers.




Recommendations
I would like to see Jones soda team up with CollegeHumor, a popular site for funny videos and blog posts for college age demographic. If they could integrate their products into their videos, it could really give Jones Soda additional exposure in the online circuit. This would also help the Jones Soda brand be associated with other platforms of content besides their own promotions.
