So +Oppikoppi get to be my first review of a great South African Google Plus Page:
Here is what works about this page:
The branding is great. Yes I know there is a limited space for what you can do but +Oppikoppi branding really stands out. It is clear and clean. You know where you are and there is no confusion - which is a win.
The content is good. I mean, who takes a sweetpotato and adds their logo to it? (You can see that over here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/100229946935390174023/posts/Q4x1BpZ7E8B).
Apart from that bit of fun, the content adds practical value, is informative and shares +Oppikoppi story really nicely. My only concern with the content is that it does not create a conversation. You can see this from a lack of comments.
The use of hangouts. How cool - Jack Parrow managed to fit his doek behind a camera and is chatting on a Hangout. This is great and is really engaging - you get to chat to your local hero and is a great use of hangouts. I look forward to Oppikoppi using this far more extensively - they really are the perfect brand to really leverage this.
The use of pictures showing how the whole show is getting put together is really great. You get a feel for the show as it is unfolding - a great showcase of whats coming up.
What can they do more of.
This is being a bit overly pick but while the hangouts are great, it would be good to see more bands in the hangouts. I know this may not be so easy but would create great pre-show buzz - especially if tied into a marketing campaign. I mean who does not want to talk to their local band.
Create more of a conversation. Many post are about facts and while are on-topic, more conversation could be stimulated.
What about the huge followers?
Oppikoppi is on the Google SUL so they are getting tons of traffic from that. I am quite sure that most of the people following Oppikoppi are not that interested in it. This may be a possible reason why the engagement is slow low in the comments.
All said - a great page - well done to the O marketing team.
All thats left to say is have a great weekend Oppikoppi - you guys really do deserve it :). And well done on
Of course these are my thoughts - but what are yours - agree / disagree - please comment below. And if you have a great SA G+ page, please let me know.
