5. …Blogs are like conversations with friends. You share what you feel
and what excites you about certain things. It's almost as good as
being there. The fact that others can Google your topic and read is
like tuning into a television station.
We all want to know what's out there. Who's doing what,
shopping where and what products help others. Blogs are just
another way to share all the great things, not so great things and
just a part of who we are. An outlet if you will. The blogisphere
community is all connect and we make contacts in many ways.
Through posts, through twitter conversations, through smaller nit
community's, live web casts, and through conferences that we met
in person. We make many friends and help each other with lot of
topics. Many of us are Mom bloggers who stay at home and have
no way of making new friends or communicating with others until
we found blogging. Blogging creates friendships and that's what
makes us real and connected.

11. Twitter and Marketing Predictions
• Tweets is “found data” without asking questions
• More meaning than typical search engine query
•
• Large numbers of passive participants in natural settings
• Twitter can predict the stock market (Lisa Grossman, Wired, Oct 19 2010)
• Predict movie success in first few weekends of release
– “…it also raises an interesting new question for advertisers and marketing
executives. Can they change the demand for their film, product or service buy
directly influencing the rate at which people tweet about it? In other words,
can they change the future that tweeters predict?”
Tech Review, http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/25000/

12. “…According to the spreading activation
model of Collins and Loftus (1975), the
concepts (or brands in this case) are
represented in memory as nodes…”
“Most of what we know we don‟t know we know. It usually seems that we
consciously will our actions, but this is an illusion” (Wenger, Daniel 2002)

17. Stories and Listening to Brand Attributes
• Your own stories are ego centric
• Stories others tell about you to friends and associates
(future prospects) are powerful
– What vocabulary do others use
– What do others tell about your skills
– What stories do you tell about others
• Brand attributes are what others write and repeat
17
18. Sharing Stories
What happens when you tell stories? Two magical things: You
build trust with other people in your network, and from there you
build empathy…is when you share the emotions that other people
have and express. It‟s a powerful, deeply primal experience.
ShareThis! Deanna Zandt, Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2010

20. Facebook EdgeRank
• Object = status update or post
• Edge = like, comment or interaction with object
• Interesting info more people interactions resulting in higher rank and story in “Top News”
• Posting status updates without conversation does not get high rank and move into “Top News” feed
• EdgeRank is based on sum of three factors:
– affinity or the relationship between the creator and user
– interaction with the object (likes, comments have different levels of user engagement)
– timeliness means new objects have better chance
• 6 Tips to increase EdgeRank
– Publish objects that encourage interaction
– Create a forum
– Make most of photos and videos
– Share links
– Keep it fresh
– Ask users to share

21. Social Media Marketing Practice is not Conventional Marketing
“a many-to-many mediated communications model in which
consumers can interact with the medium, firms can provide
content to the medium and, in the most radical departure from
traditional marketing environments, consumers can provide
commercially oriented content to the medium.”
Hoffman & Novak, 1997
21
22. Social Operating Strategy # Social Media Policy
• Policy is good substitute when you do not have purpose
• Why should anyone show interest in our cause?
• Outline what works and why different from traditional marketing
• Provide associates with ideas for conversations
• Just one voice or everyone ?
• Consistent voice talking to a single donor
• Best practice rules of engagement:

26. Relationships Matter
“For the public, being able to reach someone who listens to
you and treats your ideas and questions respectfully is
another important dimension of accountability. Based on
what we learned in these focus groups, this human
connection is generally more meaningful to people than
accountability measures like performance indicators and
progress on benchmarks. For most people, not being able
to talk to someone is a signal that the institution doesn’t
genuinely care about the public”.

Government, And More”, A Report from Public Agenda and the Kettering Foundation,2011

35. Opportunities to Influence
• When you are in a good mood
• When world view no longer makes sense
• When you can take action immediately
• When you feel indebted because of a favor
• Immediately after you have made a mistake
• Immediately after you have denied a request
35
36. Social Psychology
1. Reciprocity: we want to repay, in kind, what another person
has provided us
2. Consistency: desire to be (and to appear) consistent with
what we have already done
3. Social proof: to determine what is correct find out what other
people think is correct
4. Authority: deep-seated sense of duty to authority
5. Likeability: we say yes to someone we like
6. Scarcity: limitation enhances desirability
Robert B. Cialdini, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion (revised; New York: Quill, 1993)
36
37. Social Media Marketing and Principles of Influence
(adapted from the blog of Mischa Coster)
• Following, Connecting or Friends
– Who are you/what can you bring me/ What do others say about you ?
• Begin with Reciprocation (what will you bring ) to build followers
• Liking and similarities
• Reciprocation and Liking => Drives social proof
• How does scarcity work in social media world of free downloads
– Social Media = sharing, giving and receiving
– Scarcity in social media = unique value
• Authority
– Quantity of internet publications (Social proof) vs. Quality (Reciprocity)
– Authority most important and influential on topics of fact
– Google ranks people – higher ranking for important pages and sites
– Expert on matters of fact emphasize authority when presenting
– Matters of taste (film, restaurant or hotel etc.) consensus, number of things
– To begin share valuable information and share authorities in agreement
37
38. Social Media Marketing and Principles of Influence
(adapted from blog of Mischa Coster)
• Critical mass of social proof
– Lower mass than offline media
– Similarity in network of shared of interests and backgrounds
– Not as many dissimilar others as offline
• Commitment and Consistency in Social Media
– Small effort for small favour to retweet, review or ask opinion
– How do we create a request for larger favour later ?
• Reciprocal response (the favour in return to your request) needs to be made actively, publicly and
voluntarily (no one is forcing me to do any of this)
• Ask for action publicly made e.g. comments on website, share on other websites or within network
• Enough effort not to scare but meaningful step
• Facebook like’ button is a very small effort but publicly made (gets shared in your own network)
• Liking a product, band or actor allows marketer to make a bigger request later e.g. visit demo offline
• Like is consistent with preference to allow supplier to send relevant information
• Characterise in terms of larger issues (internal to individual)
• For an environmental cause (after “like” ) ask given importance of cause to individual would they
become an ambassador in the network or geography
• Characterise in terms of larger issue not something small they did
• You call the commitment to be logically consistent with what you have already done that you would
do this larger one, because you are favorable to this cause or to this type of consumer product
38
39. Social Proof (or validation) and Social Media Marketing
Consumer seeks external cues
• High subscriber counts get more subscribers faster
• Lots of blog post comments end up with many more
• Social news with lots of votes and interesting headlines gets votes form others
before being read
• Popular bookmarks get even more popular
• Retweeted content spreads even faster through further retweeting
• Recommended content more favourable than found
• Quality,quality & quality content spreads with social proof through reciprocity
and liking establishing authority with people and Google
• Blogging Content creates bonding with customers
39
40. Social Objects
“Social Networks form around Social Objects**, not the other way around”.
(** Term attributed to Jyri Engstrom) MacLeod Hugh (2008) GapingVoid.com

46. Service-Dominant Logic
• A logic that views service, rather than goods, as the focus of
economic and social exchange i.e., Service is exchanged for service
• Essential Concepts and Components
– Service: the application of competences for the benefit of another entity
• Service (singular) is a process—distinct from “services”— particular types of goods
– Shifts primary focus to “operant resources” (skills and knowledge) from
“operand resources” (static and tangible)
– See value as always co-created (Market With
i.e. Collaborate with Customers & Partners to Create & Sustain Value)
– Sees goods as appliances for service delivery
– Implies all economies are service economies
• All businesses are service businesses
Vargo, S.L. and R.F. Lusch (2004).

47. Purpose Motive
Linux-Apache-Wikipedia
Drive #1: Eat when we’re hungry. Drink when we’re thirsty. Etc.
Drive #2: Respond to rewards and punishments in our environment.
Drive #3: We do things because they’re interesting and because they’re
engaging and because they’re the right things to do and because they
contribute to the world. (!!!)
