Fashion fans!!!!! "Like" Zara, H&M, GAP on facebook

Last night, I searched information on the internet about global fashion brand. While I was searching, I was very curious…….how many super fans do some fashion brands have????
SOOOOOO, I searched it on facebook………to check how  many facebook fans do they have?



9,940,407 people like Zara http://www.facebook.com/Zara




8,013,647 people like H&M http://www.facebook.com/hm





1,630,745 people like GAP http://www.facebook.com/gap









I am so surprised that ZARA has about 10 million fans on facebook. Moreover, I am thinking….can the marketers use facebook or other social media platforms to transfer first-time consumers into loyal consumers?  According to Kotler’s model, there are different stages of relationship development. 

I believe that loyalty program is widely used to keep close relationship with consumers. However, can companies use facebook to keep relationship with its super fans instead? Does it work? I am not sure  but I believe that super fans are willing to have relationship with their favourite  brands.
