This is Part Three in a five part series diving into Clean Graffiti in the Queen City. Clean Graffiti is a service that #thesavageway offers; it is a unique, green form of advertising available since 2012. With several clients in the books, it is time to reflect on the practice. This piece is about Social Media Usage of Clean Graffiti.
In this day in age, Social Media is as common as drinking a glass of water or showing up for work. As a business, if you are not utilizing social media in all of its forms (that fit your business), you are missing out on a huge marketing opportunity. In fact, according to the Social Media Examiner, “Increased exposure is the top benefit of social media marketing: A significant 89% of marketers stated that increased exposure was the number-one benefit of social media marketing.”
But what do you do to make your business stand out on social media when the market is flooded with competitors? One way that #thesavageway has found to aid in market differentiation is through Clean Graffiti.
Clean Graffiti is an eco-friendly and green form of advertising. These branded, positive messages are strategically placed on dirty sidewalks and a clean message remains. Not only is this an innovative and creative way to get a business’ marketing initiatives out to the public in a place that you typically would not be able to have a logo or message, but there is no use of any harmful chemicals or sprays – It is just water!
Charlotte companies have been using #thesavageway’s Clean Graffiti throughout the city to attract attention to their brands through natural, alternative media. Be it event driven (NODAWEEN), Running Routes (NODA BREWING RUN CLUB) or just Brand Awareness (ORTHOCAROLINA), Clean Graffiti has lead to an increased use on social media. By including the “@” sign or “#” in the body of the message, it signifies to the public to engage on social media.
In a constantly changing online world, it is important to remember full-circle marketing tactics and finding a way to reach your customers not only in traditional ways but through innovative means as well. Clean Graffiti is another way to capture the attention of your potential customer and #thesavageway is proud to offer this green advertising medium to the Charlotte market.
