Pandora's mission is to 

"celebrate women by offering them the opportunity for personal expression through our universe of high-quality and contemporary jewelry at affordable prices".

BRAND'S HISTORY

Pandora started in 1982 as a small jeweler's shop in Copenhagen, Denmark. From the beginning, jewelry were imported from Thailand. The company has been working as a wholesaler for the next several successful years.

In 1987 it began to focus on creating its own one and only jewelry when the first designer had joined the company. In 1989 Pandora started manufacturing its jewelry in Thailand.

An idea of Pandora's charm bracelets, which are extraordinarily popular now everywhere, was first launched in the Danish market. Company's clients embraced this concept very well. So, driven by a constantly increasing demand, Pandora began to expand internationally, covering new markets in the United States, Germany, and Australia.

Currently,

"Pandora's product are sold in more than 90 countries on six continents through approximately 9,500 points of sale, including approximately 1,500 concept stores"

The company employs more than 14,000 people worldwide. In 2014, Pandora's total revenue was approximately $1,82 billion.

Very impressive numbers, isn't it?

COMPANY'S PRESENCE IN SOCIAL MEDIA

Let's take a look on each of them.

Pandora, in its turns, shares customers' photo on its page. As we can see, communications between the company and its clients are very well developed on Facebook.

Twitter                   

Pandora joined Twitter in 2011. Compared to the Facebook page, Pandora has less popularity on Twitter. Its page has only 67,361 readers to date (for example, Tiffany&Co's Twitter page has almost 1,418 M readers - there is something to strive for). But it should be mentioned that the company posts news and relevant information very frequently: several times a day. Twitter's content is similar to Facebook's.

Instagram                  

 "Follow us for style inspiration and much more" 

says Pandora's Instagram page. 

The page has really stylish and attracted content. An idea of content is the same as on the Facebook and Twitter pages. 
Frequency of posting is very high: every day the company adds several posts dedicated to some events, ideas, latest things, sharing emotions, and etc.

Recently, the Instagram page has reached 1 M followers. It was mentioned by the company with the next post where Pandora thanks its fans for their participation, interest in the brand, and "every single like and comment".

Google+              
                 

Pandora is not very active on Google+. Its page has just 384 subscribers and about 432,000 views, which is obviously not enough for an international company. The content consists of videos related to the brand.

Pandora's presence on Pinterest is very important for the brand. By searching "Pandora" on the site you come up with many interesting and diverting pins such as sales, previews, advice, news, and so on.

CONCLUSION

Pandora now is an undoubtedly popular and special brand, which is well-known all over the world. Its history is a great and inspiring example of growth and development. Its executives have found a unique way to perform, which now has become a trend. And it definitely should be mentioned that social media are playing one of the primary roles in company's progress.
Pandora's metrics are pronouncedly positive and promising. But of course, there are always weaknesses to work on and ways to grow further.
One brilliant idea with charm bracelets has brought high popularity to the brand, but the company should look forward and develop its new high-potential ideas and strategy to promote them and the brand in general.

Some More Ways To Attract People To Your Website

Nowadays, most of companies have very professionally designed, beautiful looking, full of useful information sites. Most likely they have invested very significant amounts of money to develop their sites. Obviously, the main purpose of creating a site is not just to have it. It supposed to provide connections between a company and its existing and potential clients.

But how to make people aware of it? How to attract traffic to your website?

Fortunately, everyone can easily find a range of different answers to such questions. All you need to do is just put this question in, for example, Google search window, and dozens of diverse articles will come up immediately on a screen with different answers how it can be accomplished and, moreover, for free.

But most of them just repeat each other. That is why instead of listing of such popular tips, I have decided to analyze the real case that actually has happened with me.

As you maybe have noticed, almost all companies, no matter what kind of product they produce, always specify all their contacts on a product's packing include a company's website and links to their social network pages.

Have you ever visited one after seeing it, let's say, on the box of candies?

Personally I had never done it before yesterday.

What has happened yesterday?

As usual, I had a breakfast and read nutrition facts of Mom's Best Cereals that I've been eaten.

Then a title "Of course you care, and so do we..." at the back of cereals' box attracted my attention.

A text under the title described a company's policy in concern with the environment.
"What your family eats matters to you, but so does the impact your family has on Mother Earth..." says an excerpt from the text.

I have not only read the whole information on the box, I also have visited the company's website, Facebook page, and Twitter page in order to learn more about how the company concerns about the environment and what else it offers to its clients.

This is a little example how a company can catch client's interest by means of concentrating on a social significant issue.

This way of presenting of a company not only attracts an attention, but also increases company's reputation, and evokes people's desire to be involved in such activity.

I also have analyzed which techniques the company uses to attract visitors to its website.

1. Qualitative building and equipment of the website.

Mom's Best Cereals's has very nice looking and functional website, which is very easy to use and full of necessary and helpful content such as a tool for finding nearest stores. It also provides links to company's social media pages and a company's blog with news and media.

2. Providing a relevant and useful content on a Facebook and Twitter pages.

Mom's Best Cereals's Facebook and Twitter pages contain information about the company, including diverse media, a link to its website, and many other ways to contact with the company, which is very important because it demonstrates how the company is interested in opinions of customers and how important it is for it.

The company also provides some relevant conversations with clients, as well as responds to their questions and feed-backs.

3. Attracting clients' interest by means of packaging.

As I have mentioned, my attention was attracted by certain information on a product's box where all company's contacts and links were specified.
And it really works! Now I know it exactly.

4. Submitting of the website to major web directories.

Using website directories is a very effective method for building links back to your website. It provides a lot more exposure on the Internet. 

A list of the best website directories you can see here.

As we can see, the company has been making a lot of effort to attract the attention of customers to its product. But there are some suggestions that would help it to develop further.


Let's look at some opportunities and suggestions for the company that supposed to make the company's promotion activity more effective:

• post more frequently on social media pages;
• propagate the website with video marketing (for example, conduct a video interview with an expert within an industry, make a viral video);
• start an Instagram page;
• conduct competitions with prizes on social media pages;
• place a bar code on the package that would lead clients to the website.

There are so many creative ways to attract more clients' attention to your product and brand. As we can see from the example, an idea and design of packaging can provide many additional benefits to promote your company.

Proper emphasizing of features of your product and advantages of using it by means of the tools that were discussed above can help company to increase an interest to a brand and even reach new potential clients.
