Notes de l'éditeur
- Well that’s a good question.Social media is a route to market and shouldn’t be viewed as a stand alone marketing activity. It can enhance existing strategies and it can be used as a main tactic for a particular campaign.And to answer the question, yes, social media is right for your business, and on so many different levels, BUT it depends on what platforms (and by platforms I mean the social networking sites themselves) are the better ones to use and how you choose to operate them
- Some thought leader quotes on social media
- Numerous networks. Many come and go but all must evolve to remain at the top. MySpace evolved, Bebo acquired, Delicious almost closed.Google+ now a huge contender with a critical mass. Mass retailers will have many profiles, niche businesses will need to be more focused and business to business will need to choose networks wisely.

- Despite many public outcries against social media channels, the landscape itself is used positively. For companies it opens up a vast marketplace to be in touch with the customer and learn and grow from their open, honest feedback and merge with a two way communication process.Application of Learning: Discuss how social media sites are used to build trust between a brand and it’s customer base – stats chart here?1. Speak With a Human VoiceIf the tone of interaction is human, genuine and conversational there will be more engagement2. Personalize ItInvest the time and effort to learn a little about the person with whom you are talking (e.g. read their profile) and personalize your message where possible3. Keep It ProfessionalDialog should remain on a professional business level, connections are not your friends4. Mind Your MannersUse manners, be polite5. Listen And RespondRegardless of the quality of the commentary, your users’ comments must be heard and responded to in real time.6. Know Your AudienceDepending on the type of product or service you offer, your audience can be very narrow, very broad, or in between. If you have a video game product, for example, you may be hearing from both kids and their parents. The content and tone of your response should vary based on who it is you’re talking to.7. Offer Real ValueSocial media platforms aren’t designed for the hard sell. They are suited to building a community that is attracted to the real value you can offer in the form of helpful practical information, entertainment, saving time or money and genuine human interaction. Make it a user-centric experience.8. Act ImpeccablyYour social media reputation is built on trust and honesty. Do not create fake identities9. Don’t React EmotionallyTake the time to craft a thoughtful, diplomatic response that addresses the issues raised.10. Be PreemptiveEmploy all the available tools to monitor what is being said about your brand throughout the social media world. Be proactive about all comments
- What do people use social media for?Engage – social and business interactionResearch – market, competitor, companySkillsMeasure and monitorGrowing awareness, introducing products and services, customer serviceIndustry knowledgePlus a whole lot more.Application of Learning: Ask for any more suggestions
- So how do I go about using social media/Think about marketing in general. It’s about...People – your customersConnecting those customers, their needs and wants, with your products and servicesSocial media is a relationship marketing tool so really you would think it was the perfect route to market for any business.And it can be but you need to remember that social media is an form of digital marketing and with digital marketing, you need to understand how your customer uses technology – the internet, apps, mobileDO YOUR RESEARCH
- Who are your customers? What is their buying behaviour, what are the demographics?And are your products and services suitable to being online?
- Is your social media activity fit for purpose?Can customers find you?Do customers have a reason to stick around?
- You need to be aware of the advantages and benefits of social media and hence the importance of developing a strategy from the off and why we focused so heavily on the strategy models during the first day. Time, money and policy are the big elements to be aware of with business.For example, if you decide to write a blog once a week, think about 3 specific keywords you can focus on to optimise your content. Maybe you wish to respond to all messages on your social media profiles within 2 hours so you will need to allocate this time, the personnel and ensure the content is available to meet those demands. 45% of organisations do not have a social media policy – hand out my basic one?Examples: Mumbai Shootings on Twitter, Universal Studios ‘Harry Potter’ campaign, Red Bull experience especially on Facebook, Starbucks customer service – Google these examples for information and ideas. Policies Before embarking on social media activity and especially if you are representing a large company or public sector organisation, a best practice policy needs to be in place. The policy should consider: Who is to represent the company and in what context – corporate, individual, multipleHow are they to interact – use of language, industry speakConfidentialityBrand guidelinesIntellectual propertyAssociated risks and appropriate contingency plans to counteract There should also be consideration as to how employees refer to employment outside of business hours and the use of social media at work. Perhaps add these to an employee manual, intranet site or monthly meeting handouts.
