Hibbett Sports
Hibbett Sports is a premium athletic apparel retail chain with over 1,000 stores — predominantly in the South, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest regions of the U.S. But a large physical presence needs a strong social media presence, and the brand needed a way to systematically expand its reach on key platforms.
Hibbett turned to Percolate for a solution that would leverage analytics to improve their overall content and messaging strategy.
Improving Reach on Social
With a brand content strategy informed by Percolate’s custom Analytics dashboards, Hibbett Sports’ marketing team has seen great results. Their social presence has grown exponentially since Hibbett started incorporating Percolate Analytics into its planning and publishing strategy in July 2014. From February to May of 2015, Hibbett saw its number of Twitter followers grow more than eight-fold. On Instagram, the number of followers increased over 29 times.
