Oppo Pakistan loses presence on Facebook

Its been around 8 months when the Chinese electronics manufacturer Oppo launched its smartphones in Pakistan but unfortunately just recently, the Facebook management has blocked Oppo Pakistan official fan page without mentioning the reasons, though some sources have claimed that owing to the violation of rules, Oppo,s Pakistan Facebook has been blocked. Oppo As soon as you click to open Oppo Pakistan fan page through its website, it directs to the facebook homepage instead of opening it. This situation is something really embarrassing for a global brand operating in several countries of the world therefore, the company is constantly in contact with Facebook management to discover the reasons for the blockage of the fan page. However, looking at the Oppo Pakistan,s fan pages of the relatively less popular social mediums like Twitter (having 154 followers) and Google Plus (having 26 followers), it can be said that the company is not successful in grabbing the attention of Pakistani consumers through social media. Apart from this, Oppo is not enjoying the substantial sales of its smartphones in Pakistan despite the fact that various advertisements and billboards are being used to get the attention of the potential buyers. Though we are not supposed to compare Oppo with some established mobile companies working in Pakstan like Huawei which has 8.55 lac followers on its facebook fan page and experiencing good sales. However, a brand new entrant to the smartphone market, Rivo has gained much popularity just within two weeks of its launch and successfully grabs 2.67 lac fans on its Facebook fan page. On the other side, Lenovo also possesses weak social presence but we cannot say that there is a direct relation of sales pattern with social media presence of the companies. However, since social media has certainly become the most empowering tool not only for individuals to keep up with their social circle, but it is also an essential component of the organizations to gain popularity among the masses and advertise their products and services every now and then. Update (March 6, 2015) Good thing for Oppo fans. It seems like that Oppo Pakistan has had its facebook page re-activated once again. The page is currently having 229 followers at the moment. According to reports, the digital manager has been given the task to increase the number of fans as early as possible.
