Gerflor Canada

In 2016, COPP Montreal launched an engaging design-tip oriented ‘Gerflor Canada’ Facebook page in English and a separate ‘Gerflor Canada Francais’ page. The Gerflor Group creates, manufactures, and markets innovative, decorative and eco-responsible solutions for resilient floors. Content for the page focuses on design inspiration and helping consumers make the right flooring decision. The page helps drive traffic to the Gerflor Canada website and to its dealers.

Here are some of the results:

In less than 8 months, Gerflor Canada earned more total likes and followers than five of their key competitors and drove 30% of the traffic to the GeflorCanada.ca website.

Mother’s Day Promotion

For Mother’s Day 2016, Gerflor Canada offered five bouquets of flowers on both the English and French pages. The next successful promotion was for Mother’s Day. Throughout the week of Mother’s Day, COPP Montreal did a daily giveaway of a bouquet of flowers so our participants could surprise their mothers for this special day. Every day, we would post the winner’s name and encourage other people to participate:
