Why Victoria's Secret And Burberry Win In Social Media — And Other Fashion ... - Business Insider

From Victoria's Secret's Facebook page.

Which apparel retailers really know what they're doing in social media, and who is just phoning it in?

Our friends at Expion, a social media marketing management company, looked at the top 50 companies listed in Apparel Magazine’s social media report for the first quarter of 2013. Those brands included Burberry, H&M, Levi's, Macy's, Nike, Target, Victoria's Secret, Walmart and Zara.

Expion then took a look at the top 100 Facebook posts in Q1 2013 to see which brands were getting the most buzz on the social platform. Of the 10 brands measured, only three made a significant splash with Facebook fans â€" Burberry, Victoria’s Secret and Walmart.

(And no, it's not simply the case that VS succeeds because of all the bikinis. Although that is part of it!)

Here's why those stores are getting it right and everyone else is getting it wrong.
