Plan B social networking

Facebook

On Facebook I found plan B’s page on this page I found several ways that plan B has used this social network site in order to promote ill manors and his music. Plan B has 8.3million likes on his profile which means that he is very well known and that people will see if he has posted anything new. This means that plan b is able to target a mass audience and most importantly is a free way to advertise him product and inform people about him. Throughout the website links have been placed on nearly all the post about ill manors where people can pre-order ill manors on DVD, view trailer and how they can get the soundtrack of ill manors. On his Facebook page plan B also uploads images of his other pages and social networking sites such as twitter and Instagram, pictures on the studio and on set is another way that is used in order to attract the audience as they are able to see behind the scene footage which has been shared, liked and commented on which means that audiences are indirectly advertising due to their excitement. 

Twitter

Whereas twitter on the other hand on twitter plan b has 462k followers however the more people have posted on the twitter page and have all made reference to plan B success and also the success of ill manors. Again sales techniques are used in order to target a wide audience to buy the film but also be aware then they can buy it, prices have been placed along with links so that audiences can find it easier to be able to buy it easier which could mean people are more likely to buy it. Behind the scenes footage has been used more frequently this could have been done in order to get more followers or to just generally inform people of the progress of ill manors, this allows audiences to feel more part of the film as they are kept updated over a period of time which means that people may feel valued to know inside information. Information on competitions have been used also in order to engage with the audience which can be used to create a “hype” about the film and try to get more people to watch , buy and listen to plan B music and film.
