Laager Goes Social

This year we decided to join Facebook to connect with even more of our tea-riffic fans. We had always suspected they’d be there to support us, but we were blown away by the response we got.

In July 2015 we launched the Laager Rooibos Facebook page and began introducing brands, one by one. Seven days in, we already had 10,000 fans. A week later our fan count doubled, and by the end of the month we had made it to the 30,000 fan mark.

Our fan base continued to grow rapidly over the next few months. By September we had accumulated over 60,000 fans – making our page the top tea brand on Facebook in South Africa. And it’s all thanks to the support of our wonderful fans.

If you’re a fan of tea, why not follow us on Facebook for loads of scrumptious recipes, fun quotes, tea trivia and exciting competitions. It’s the perfect place to connect with like-minded tea lovers. After all, the best pot of tea is one that can be shared with friends.
