Title: A Plug!
Post by: Thom89 on 21 October 2011, 18:37
Some of you may have seen this on Ed38, this is my sons Facebook idea, and seems to be taking off rather well, still early days, but a clear direction seems to be evolving... best to have a look yourself, rather than me waffle on! If you like what you see, then please "Like" it, any feedback is welcome

Thanks

Thanks, appreciated :wink:
As said, feedback is important to get the details right, cant say too much at the moment, but will be well worth keeping an eye on, over the coming months :lipsrsealed:

I think it's a bit of all really. It's like iwantoneofthose.com but for a much bigger product range...

Title: Re: A Plug! WOW! and thank you!

So, nearly 5 days after its launch we went through the stats that are displayed on the page of the Admins, and have found that https://www.facebook.com/stylecheckpoint has had close on 30.000 hits! and 45 "Likes" from just people that clicked from this Forum :smiley: :smiley:

Tonight saw the launch of https://www.facebook.com/pages/Female-Checkpoint/208253749244624 the sister page to the above, which my son expects to do better than "Style Checkpoint" this time, could you get your wives and Girlfriends to "Like" or at least check in from time to time, would be immense... pretty please :wink:

A sincere thank you to those that clicked :cool:

Get "send in the troops" or whatever it's called to up the number of likes, it's a dedicated facebook group to do just that and it'll increase the audience etc etc :)

Thanks

I would like to do thoms son, james a little favour and bump this again. I added them out of courtesy but actually its turning into a brilliant group. They update everyday, run comps for designer stuff each week and in general throw up some pretty damn cool stuff. So check them out, there is now even a female group so get your ladies involved!!!  :smiley:

He tried it but Im not sure if it did alot for him. The comps are doing alot, numbers have doubled this week since the wallet 'share' competition.

Post by: Thom89 on 08 November 2011, 23:13
As said before Guy, cant say too much atm, but all will become clear. Priority is to keep the "Likes" on board by keeping the content interesting.
Sam, thanks for the bump the other night, Sunday went mad!

Thanks for the likes off here guys!

As to give a little comment on what exactly the group is, just currently posting some interesting content each day to get the likes up, but eventually want to take it onto a website so we can network shops to people, so let's say if you were visiting London from New York and didn't know where to shop, you could just go on Style Checkpoint and find out exactly where to go. I am getting more and more shops involved, plus some more giveaways happening in the future! Really appreciate the Likes!

It is, but the cool hunter is trying to do everything. They haven't updated there fashion section since august. Style checkpoint is very much a fashion based idea with updates every day or so. They also throw up some really cool other stuff.. i.e shell ferrari advert  :smiley: but its always in keeping with what they are saying is stylish at the time

Cheers for the feedback guys  :smiley:


As regarding it being the same to thecoolhunter, the approach we are taking may seem the same as it's currently a facebook page with limitations, but once the site (and app  :wink: ) is up, things will become clear as to exactly what it will be. There are so many sites/blogs out there that purely focus on products, we will be doing this, but from a different angle that as of yet, has not been done in the same context :lipsrsealed:


Also, if you know anyone who has a passion for extreme sports, please contact me  :evil:

Right, im gonna bump this again due to a slight change in circumstances.. essentially I have just become an official contributor to STYLE Checkpoint due to my sparkling CV featuring Dyslexia and a C in GCSE English so if you could give us a like that would be fantastic! We have a very special competition comming up too, so GET INVOLVED!

You can simply like it, then hide it and it doesnt effect you if your not interested. But it is rathergood  :smiley:
