Mobile Areas

Dove Photo Booth is an app directly connected to the Self Esteem campaign launched by Dove in 2004. The structure is very simple: the user can take a series of consecutive photos and share them on social media, like Facebook and Instagram.

The application is clearly based on Connection, since it is based on sharing photos online and connecting with others who used the same app. It is another example of how Dove is focusing its campaign on Social Media, in order to spread awareness and to position itself as a thoughtful and caring brand.

Dove Photo Booth also provides Content: the app features the Beauty Legacy Video from Dove’s Self Esteem Campaign.

Connections

SoLoMo

Mobile

Users can take their pictures anywhere anytime and share

them online.

Local

When sharing their pictures, users can also share their

location.

Dove can collect information about its target.

Social

It connects multiple users who share their picture on

Facebook and Instagram.

The photos will appear with the Dove Logo and it will help

spread Brand Awareness.

S Dove Photo Booth works only in relation with Social Media: users take

photos and share them on Facebook and Instagram with the hashtag

#feelbeautifulfor to interact with other people.

S Based on the search data from Facebook and Instagram, the number of users

who shared their photos, made comments or clicked the ”like” button is less

than three hundred, which means this app didn’t catch people’s attention and

didn’t get them to interact.

Social media

S Dove encourages its customers to feel confident with their real beauty by

sharing a collection of four non-filtered pictures on social media.

Furthermore they can connect with people who share the same passion for

Dove and sustain the same campaign #feelbeautifulfor.

S The consumer can directly watch the Beauty Legacy video on the app but

doesn’t have any acces to information about Dove products. We can

conclude that the utility is purely emotional and not very informative.

Utility for the consumer

S The app supports the multi-channel Self Esteem campaign by giving the

consumers the opportunity to share their personalized Dove photo booth

pictures on various social media with the specific campaign #hashtag.

S As a result the app’s goal is a combination of Awareness and Customer

Engagement on social media.

Application Goal

S The target user for this application matches the typical Dove consumer:

S Woman. Age 18 and above

S Intermediate or advanced web user

S Concerned about her appearance

S Uses Facebook, Instagram and Twitter

S Wants to feel beautiful and confident with her body

S

Focus on customer

Improvements

S The app’s connection to social media is very strong and it is in line with the

company’s multi-channel strategy. However, since the number of users who

actually used this service is too small, the app proved to be uneffective and

not engaging enough.

S Possible improvements to enhance the SoLoMo model:
