Social walls allow us to make user-generated content visible on our websites and convey the look and feel of our country. We can motivate users to post content, especially when we’re running campaigns with specific hashtags.The various walls in different languages make it easier for us to customise our content for each region and language and better target people in each country.
As a typical B2B insurance company, we are seeking to achieve more awareness and brand perception, mainly focusing on our peer community. Our social wall displays who is speaking about us and what people are saying. That helps us generate more social buzz and monitor our social media channels.
Because our target audience is highly social and likely to be on multiple social media platforms, we thought that a social wall really suited our needs. So we launched the hashtag #MaritimeWomenPhotoShare and to participate, participants could either use the hashtag on Twitter or Instagram or simply submit their photos using an email address we created for that purpose. And with the wall, it created this mosaic of working maritime women which was really empowering and inspiring, and more and more women joined.
Rotary International’s Pacific Northwest PETS, one of the largest in the world for training nearly 800 Rotary leaders, has been effectively using the Walls.io platform for three years now. This year, we noticed a substantial difference in the time of adoption by our attendees. As soon as we fired the wall up in the ballroom, the posts and photos started pouring in! All of our vendors were so thrilled that they have all signed up already for next year.
We used the social wall on our recurring virtual conference to increase attendee engagement, both inside and outside the event platform. It encouraged our attendees to post on social media, which is a great way to show social proof and encourage more people to register. The cherry on the cake was the integration with our long-time partner SnapBar, a virtual photo booth provider. It made our event feel more human and reminded our audience that there’s a real person behind each profile. Walls.io is a great tool for creating a sense of community and belonging!
With the Virtual Photo Booth integration, we saw a huge uptick in engagement numbers, and the social wall was constantly generating new posts.
