Lately the page has focused on the mothers of U.S. Olympic athletes and athletes who are mothers themselves. This is a page completely separate from Procter & Gamble's main company page and beauty page. As manufacturers of products like Tide and Downy, P&G is using the page to spotlight mothers as a way to connect their brand with the Olympics. This page has seen enormous growth since the beginning of the Olympics, fueled in part by Facebook ads and by following the games with timely posts. As can be seen in the graph below, the last few weeks have been incredibly successful for the page and it will be interesting to see how they continue to engage users past the Olympics. Target is also looking to capitalize on seasonal promotions, though not for the Olympics. The company has published this video recording the reaction of different students getting accepted into college. With many students leaving for college in the next few months, many of Target's products are specific to the collegiate audience and increased focus of this demographic will be highly beneficial.
