CONCLUSION Halens and Bubbleroom have the only active Finnish Facebook

fanpages especially for the Finnish market apart from Ellos.fi Simple, clear Facebook front pages professional-looking and

classy, for ex. H&M and Gina Tricot Especially iPhone and iPad apps very popular Introducing models so that the customer gets familiar with them Great extras and apps that could be used: wallpapers, gift cards,

games, “style your own look”, Facebook store, lookbooks, direct customer service, garment guides, e-cards etc.

American companies the most advanced, creative and innovative in Facebook extras and apps and in making their pages look as attractive as possible for customers

However: a bigger number of fans needed, should also represent target group for the extras and apps to be successful!

Using Twitter as a tool to publish material? Summer-themed giveaway with swimwear purchase? College-line with special activities for Fall?
