In six short months their five Ambassadors numbered 200 (thanks to networking.) There was an increase of conversations online – some 600%. They saw a near 60% increase in hits online, increased sales in stores that hosted a Fiskateer and most importantly saw the creation of marketing tools, events (online and offline) as well as valuable feedback to marketing and product development while strengthening the company’s connection to customers.

Just more proof that social media is a great way to connect with existing and emerging consumers… will you have the next big idea?
