How established sandals brands defend their BFCM share
For established sandals brands, BFCM is a defensive battle. You have to maintain your market share against everyone else fighting for attention. Do not let your reach slip. Use a managed content network to blast your brand across the platform, keeping your products in front of your customers at all times without relying on an unsustainable surge in your ad budget.

Sandals brand, established: Black Friday and peak season need more reach.
Protecting your position
BFCM is a high-stakes time. Everyone is trying to capture the attention of your customers. If your reach isn't massive, you will lose sales to competitors who are more visible. You have worked hard to build your brand; now you need to defend it. Increasing your ad spend is the obvious path, but it is also the most expensive one. You need a smarter, more cost-effective way to stay relevant. You need organic dominance that doesn't fluctuate with market prices.
Leveraging network dominance
A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post the brand's existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This creates a dominant presence that keeps your brand top of mind. You are everywhere your customers are, ensuring they choose your sandals over the competition, all while keeping your customer acquisition costs at a sustainable level.
Managing your BFCM strategy
Send your provider your comprehensive BFCM media plan. You need high-quality content that speaks to your existing fan base and appeals to new customers alike. Organize your assets by product line and offer type. Ensure your provider understands your brand voice and the specific goals you have for the season. As an established brand, you have the assets; now you just need the distribution. Your provider will manage the network, allowing you to focus on managing the overall campaign success.
Measuring your defense
Look at your overall sales velocity and site traffic versus your previous BFCMs. You want to see that your reach and conversion have remained strong, even as competition has increased. Because your network traffic is organic, your profit per sale should be higher than it would be with paid-only growth. This is the hallmark of a healthy, mature business. Keep the network active, keep your content fresh, and your brand will continue to lead the market.
