Ritz-Carlton vs. Shangri-la on Facebook

By Owais Hikmat


The Ritz-Carlton makes content highlighting many exotic destinations all over the world. From undersea adventures to 8 floors high at the spa at Ritz-Carlton in Jakarta, Indonesia. They often stress how they can make your dreams come true. Shangri-la makes creative content by turning your attention to their exotic hotel destinations all over the world from Dubai to Shanghai to Mauritius. They use stunning imagery and rhetorically ask, “Image yourself here”. Both brand do a great job of using the 50/50 rule.
The keyword sentences used by Ritz-Carlton include “experience, #RCMemories, dreams come true,  #Oman and  #Maldives and so on.
Shangri-la’s most successful recent post was about their location in Paris “Just enjoying a mid-afternoon oggle. - at Shangri-La Hotel, Paris”. The post had 474 likes and loves, 24 shares and 5 comments.

The Ritz-Carlton’s most successful recent post was about Brooklyn’s Botanical garden generating more than 519 likes, 17 loves, 15 shares and 1 comment.

I believe that these two posts were successful because they touched many hearts the first one being about Shangri-la in Paris. Many people long to visit Paris and are reminded of the “City of Love”. The second post highlighted the blossoming of Brookyln’s cherry trees with a beautiful picture of a flower reminding everyone about spring.
