The campaign has seen generated audience engagement with over 2 Million loops for the first post released 24 days ago. The campaign is promoted with hashtag Lowesblackfriday and the vignettes can be viewed at https://vine.co/tags/lowesblackfriday.

Updating audiences with new features will become easier as brands can now push notifications once they are favorited by the followers. This is possible with a newly added feature on Vine that allows users to favorite a brand by pressing the star button on the screen as highlighted below.
Vine has added a new feature where you can receive push notifications and a notification in your activity feed each time your favorite posts on Vine.

Ten Ways to Promote your Brand using Vine
Start a Social mobile Video Contest to encourage Viners to participate by favoriting your Brands. This is easy to do as Brands can feature favorite Viners and introduce a Giveaway.
Engage Audiences with a contextual theme as can be seen in a simple Thanksgiving Vine.
Introduce a new trend. This is different from promoting a product feature as you are announcing a trend that may resonate better with your audiences.
