After developing personas for BOSS with a focus on facility managers, we introduced a new go to market message – the Zero Upfront, Zero Risk program. The BOSS solution is turnkey (installation and financing available) with the payback through energy savings beginning in month one. After that, customers are free to keep all the savings themselves. This laid a great foundation. Now, we had to find a smart way to give BOSS a plug with potential customers.

Highlight: Social Media
We used social media accounts to create a community of property owners, utilities, universities and strategic partners who could bring a level authority to the company.
It started with a paid Facebook campaign, simple ads designed to build ‘likes’ and bring people to BOSS’s website.
For less than $600, the company’s fan base grew five times, from 473 to 2,100 fans. As a result, we saw the Facebook page’s weekly reach extend to over 13,000.
Continuing our paid Facebook ad strategy, we grew website referrals from Facebook from 25 to 300. Add that in with our efforts on LinkedIn and Twitter, and more than 50% of website referrals came from social media!
Results show that people are not only liking our posts, but also commenting on and sharing our ads. For example, in just one week, for just about $100, we achieved 493 clicks, 1.54% click-through rate, 534 likes, and 87 shares.
These efforts gave BOSS a spike, boosted its reputation and generated leads — all for an exceptionally low output.
