Sessions agenda
Recap: Digital marketing is a tool which can help in achieving the company long term goals by: Listening to what matters to customers which is the most important and basic way to address business development and change. The company doesn’t define what is value, the customer does. Helping in bringing new customers Establishing a two way comms with customers to increase engagement and loyalty Improving processes to meet customer needs The right balance among all this elements have to be defined and remember that the company resources are limited. Digital marketing is just one part of the story Increase customer satisfaction and competitive advantage
All these can only be achieved if there is an a strong integrated strategic direction based in proactive planning, not reactive activity as a way to address change. Remember that strategy is long term and tactics is short term.

Two main ideas: 1. Marketing comms has to be understood as an investment, not an expenditure. You invest in the brand equity which from a customer perspective is the strength of a brand in generating revenue due to the combination between awareness and brand associations, with live in customer minds. 2. Mrk comms promise something which needs to be backed up by the rest of company resources: quality product, strong quality control processes, manufacturing, people, distribution… When this happens, you are rising the brand equity and generating TRUST Internet and WOM comes as a strong player here and punish those which don’t Integrate comms (the promise) and the ability to satisfy customer needs (the response to the promise) If for instance your positioning is having the fastest delivery in the marketing, the company resources must be organized to optimise delivery. Toyota Coke Nike. CEO – If I had to start again I would only keep the brand. You can take machines, money, everything. I keep only the brand and I still win.
The brand equity has to be understood and managed within a context. In our context trust is key to address the risk associated to a high price product and a mainly rational purchase behavior.
The starting point is understanding your customer needs. Here you have some tips (some you already know) on how you can use digital marketing to research the market and understand your customers http://farmingforum.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=7777
People approach to internet is proactive. It is an investment of time and therefore companies must understand that the communication has to follow certain rules which are completely different to traditional comms channels.
It is therefore not surprising that the back button is the most popular. Users decide what it is relevant for them. People decide to stay or leave your website in just 3 seconds
The expected internet today is not the same as 10-15 years ago. If you don’t deliver the expected, you are taking the risk of not being relevant. If you are capable to deliver augmented digital marketing within your context, your are generating a completive advantage.

Keep your promises. Otherwise, you are wasting my time and damaging my confidence in your brand.
A correct website proposition must have the correct balance of these 3 elements taking into account your objectives and your context. This is easy to say, however it is extremely difficult to achieve.
Most of websites follow these 4 roles or a combination of them. Depending on your objectives, you have to find the right balance.
