"MAACO can now monitor customer and franchisee communication across multiple social media platforms, plus consumer review and rating sites, from the Engage121 integrated application," said Warren Stoll, Vice President of Marketing for MAACO. "That saves us valuable time that we can use to engage more consumers, which is critical to our company's focus on 'Customer Satisfaction.'"

Other features of the Engage121 Enterprise solution will allow MAACO to provide a more interactive experience for their fans and followers in the social media. MAACO will create customized "FANlets," (Facebook applets created through the Engage121 application) to conduct polls, encourage fan engagement and reward loyal fans with special offers.
Evaluation tools inside Engage121 will measure the results of MAACO's social media efforts and report metrics like sentiment, buzz, share of voice, and unique platform activity over time.
"MAACO came to us with well-defined goals for implementing their social media strategy on both the enterprise and local levels," according to Engage121 CEO Jon Victor. "They chose Engage121 because of the functionality of our Enterprise solution plus our knowledge and years of experience serving the franchise industry," Victor said.
