June Direction

Strategy Forward

Three moves for June, grounded in May data.

Doubling Down

Lean Into Community-Event Content

Shares & Reach · Awareness Goal

The Free Your Sole 5K recap was the month's top post on shares. Build more event and community storytelling (race recaps, partner runs, customer wins) to keep reach and shares climbing.

Fixing

Restart Conversation

Comments · Engagement Goal

Comments dropped to single digits. Ask one specific question per post (favorite race, current mileage, shoe questions) and reply quickly to rebuild engagement.

Testing Next

Save-Worthy Gear Guides

Saves & Retention · Engagement Goal

Saves and retention ran below the Spark floor. Test fit-tip and gear-guide Reels and carousels that give runners a reason to bookmark and return.

June CTA Plan

Next Month’s CTAs

The June call-to-action focus and the funnel-stage CTAs we’ll be deploying.

★ Primary June CTA

Turn Event Energy Into Shop Traffic and Fittings

“Visit the link in bio to book a shoe fitting, or stop in store for a personalized fit.”

Conversion improved across the board in May. The priority now is steady content that keeps the community engaged between events and points them toward fittings and the shop.

  • TOFU"Tag your running partner." · Share-driven discovery.
  • MOFU"Save this for your next gear upgrade." · Save-prompted reference.
  • BOFU"Book a fitting · link in bio." · The conversion handoff.
