Case Study: Using Facebook to Drive Registrations
to Penguin India's Spring Fever 2013 Event

How AliveNow helped Penguin India get thousands of
registrations for the Spring Fever 2013 event

The Challenge

• Penguin Books on Facebook (www.facebook.com/PenguinIndia) is
the official Facebook page with close to 1 lakh fans.

• Penguin Books wanted to use the Facebook Platform to drive
registrations for the Spring Fever 2013 event and spread awareness
about the various authors and celebrities attending the even.

• The audience on the page were young and outgoing in nature. They
had passion for books and reading.

• We came up with a simple but effective application on Facebook to
engage with the audience on Penguin Books and give away passes
to the event through Facebook.

Strategy and Approach
• Knowing that the audience on the Penguin Books page were very
passionate about books in general, we decided to come up with a simple
app and gave away passes who ever wanted to be a part of the event.

• We came up with the Spring Fever 2013 application.

• In this application, a user has to select an event they are interested in and
fill in their details to get their passes. They could request for more than 1
pass for family and friends.

• We used the Facebook application platform and the Facebook Ads
platform to reach the right audience and achieve the desired results.
