Seminar - grow your business with social media marketing

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. In one minute we will start blogging… Let me just share that my name is Håkan, pronounced hawken, and my main two businesses are http://konsultpartners.com (focused on helping companies build their social media presence) and http://backwardwebsites.com (focused on helping companies launch their core online presence, i.e. a website).This presentation and all material is shared under the Creative Commons, Attribution copyright.
  2. …not let social media panic you…have a new perspective on social media…have a framework for social marketing…be inspired to push forward
  3. Let me give you a quick outline of my (Håkan Söderbom)background which should help set the context for my experience with blogging and social media.Worked for, and started, multiple small software businesses in Sweden.Joined Microsoft Sweden in 1997, built the local ISV partner ecosystemJoined Microsoft EMEA HQ in 1999, responsible for product launches tied to the web, and managed several DotCom relationshipsJoined Microsoft Corp in 2002, initially shared responsibility for collaboration with Intel. Later leading a team driving partner recruitment, which allowed me to create and run online programs, campaigns, SEM, SEO, PPC, measurement and research.In early 2010 I left to start Konsult Partners LLC which is now my core business, focused on social media marketing and social media strategy development. As a complement I recently launched Backward Websites which is about very quickly launching beautiful, rich and funtional websites using ready-to-go themes (templates) available in the WordPress community.
  4. Ubiquitous presence = always connected, mobile + PC + SMSLong tail = combined, there are more searches on fringe keywords than on the common keywords, in other words there is a huge opportunity for buyers and sellers in a myriad of niche markets. Example: hitch for a Yamaha Royal Star Venture (a specific motorcycle model).Online tools = Facebook, Twitter, email, blogs, CRM…Search = Product information and insight is achieved by searching with Bing and Google. Two effects: a search hit is extremely valuable since we know someone is actually “looking” for it. The expectations on brand relationships are changing to those of “amaze me” and “make me trust you”.Generation Y = Young people (and the not so young) are becoming immune to the noise of advertising. E.g. young people who live on Facebook don’t even know there are ads on the right side of Facebook. E.g. cancel cable subscription and rely on Netflix + Internet news.
  5. We prefer to do business with people we like. It is a human reaction. To know what we can do to get “liked” we need to understand what is important to them, what triggers their emotions, and what would make them trust us.From Wikipedia, April 12, 2011:Demographics: “Commonly used demographics include gender, race, age, income, disabilities, mobility (in terms of travel time to work or number of vehicles available), educational attainment, home ownership, employment status, and even location.”“Firmographics are the characteristics of an organization especially when used to segment markets in market research. What demographics are to people, firmographics are to organizations. Commonly-used firmographics include employee size, revenue size, industry, number of locations and location of headquarters. Distributions of values within a firmographic variable, and across organizations, are both of interest, as well as trends over time.”"Psychographics is the study of personality, values, attitudes, interests, and lifestyles.”Two-stage market segmentation (Wind & Cardozo Model): Macro-segmentation centers on the characteristics of the buying organization [as whole companies or institutions] (Company / organization size, Geographic location, SIC code,Purchasing situation, Type of institution). Micro-segmentation focuses on factors that matter in the daily business; this is where “the rubber hits the road”. The most common criteria include the characteristics of the decision-making units within each macro-segment. (Buying decision criteria, Attitudes towards the supplier); http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_market_segmentation
  6. Relevance drives resultsWikipedia:Content strategy has been described as "the practice of planning the content creation, delivery, and governance”
  7. The new way of online marketing is about becoming relevant to our target audiences. Many books have been written on the topics and buzz words that have emerged the last few years are “Inbound marketing”, “Trust marketing” and “Word of mouth marketing”. They all focus on 1) listening to and understanding your target audience, 2) creating the content that allows you to be relevant to the audience and 3) engaging and staying in a conversation with the audience.
  8. What would you like your brand to be? Take charge of your online presence and project the right image!
