Meanwhile, the company also noted that it has embraced social networking and recently created a Business Page on Facebook.com (www.facebook.com/johnlewisstyles)
The page, it was explained, has been created in an effort to better interact with customers, especially the younger internet generation, by using the conversational marketing technique.
The company believes that the use of Facebook is not only about promoting its (the John Lewis) brand, but allows it to be able to listen to its membership. Members, it was emphasized, have added benefits and are always first to get the insider
information on: Sale Dates, New Arrivals, Tips on Dressing Better, Facebook Only Offers & Discounts and Special Events among others.
“In less than three months we have been able to attract over 3100 members and the numbers continue to grow. We launched our most recent television Advertisement on Facebook before it was even on TV. Pictures of New Arrivals are posted along with pricing so customers are well informed.”
