Scaling paid social from organic content for 200+ clients

Challenge

Empros Retail helps 200+ retailers promote their products and offers through social media, with organic content playing a central role in their marketing approach.

Turning a Constant Stream of Organic Content Into Paid Media

With new posts being published continuously across hundreds of client accounts, turning relevant organic content into paid campaigns manually required the team to constantly monitor posts and launch ads throughout the day.

Managing Hundreds of Short-Term Promotions

Many of the retailers Empros works with run short promotional campaigns, often lasting just 3–5 days. This creates a high volume of repetitive campaign setup: identifying the right post, turning it into an ad, setting the campaign live and making sure it stops at the right time.

Keeping Promotions Timely

For Empros Retail, organic and paid social are closely connected. A post can be published organically and become a relevant paid promotion as soon as it meets the client’s criteria. They needed a way to make that transition happen consistently and at scale, without requiring the team to manually watch for every opportunity.

Solution

Turning Organic Posts Into Paid Campaigns Automatically

Post Boosting lets Empros Retail create rules that monitor newly published organic posts and automatically turn qualifying content into paid campaigns. As soon as a post meets the predefined criteria, such as containing specific keywords or triggers, the rule can launch the promotion without waiting for a manual check.

Short-Term Promotions With Precise Start and End Dates

For their short campaigns, Empros Retail uses the “Run for X days” setting to define how long a boosted post should remain active. This makes it possible to automate promotions that need to run for a specific period, without manually setting up and stopping each campaign.

Streamlining Promotion Across Hundreds of Clients

For a business managing organic and paid social for hundreds of retailers, Post Boosting provides a repeatable way to connect the two workflows. The same automated process can be applied across client accounts, helping Empros Retail streamline how organic content is turned into paid promotion without adding the same manual work for every retailer.

Pro-tip: Preventing Old Posts From Being Boosted

Post Boosting rules can combine content criteria with the post’s publication time, allowing teams to specify that only recently published posts should qualify. This is particularly important for keyword-based rules, where an older post could otherwise match the same criteria and be promoted unintentionally.

Results

Up to 1,800 Posts Boosted Monthly

Post Boosting supports up to 1,800 organic posts promoted into paid campaigns every month, giving Empros Retail a scalable way to turn organic content into paid media across its retailer portfolio.

50–100+ Hours Saved Per Month

Content Managed for 200+ Clients

The workflow helps Empros Retail manage paid social promotion across 200+ retailers, allowing the team to support a large client portfolio without scaling manual campaign setup at the same rate.
