Notes de l'éditeur
- Manage Social Networks to Gain Employee Buy-in and Build a Positive Company Culture
- Our marketing organization at STA invests in Brand Ambassadors “on the ground” AND we heavily invest in building online networks and organic search engine marketing. Why not leverage our employees across all areas of the company (who are already using this space) to become our Online Brand Ambassadors? These are the people that know travel and they know our brand Why not use this to help drive impact to the business, all while engaging and keeping it fun for the employee?
- Develop Guidelines for Social Media Establish a comprehensive process that can coach your employees on everything from online etiquette, to types of use and examples, ideas and templates – essentially how to represent your Brand online We need to guide/direct, but not control Involve them in the process; solicit feedback, input and ideas Make sure to vary by experience levels – as most of us as marketers (and consumers) are very familiar with Facebook; people have varying levels of expertise and even the most savviest of users need to be balanced with type/style of writing and use of social networks that are inline with use for your Brand’s purposes vs their own consumer habits Share our process as an example Reviewing current social media status of all store groups, going through to make these uniform and consistent (groups vs pages) Choose a core group of key stakeholders and influencers to lead the charge (example: STA Paparazzi) Develop and Publish a Social Media Guidelines process and toolkit Show examples of… Events Product/Sale related messages Promotions User Engagement “ Market Research” Hosted Webinars as an Example “ It’s it own thing. It will take key strategic people who understand it. I have my foot soldiers in different departments. I have a full-time engineer who responds to requests and understands social media. People from events, PR, communications, advertising sit on social media group. It’s a nice handshake between traditional and emerging marketing models.” It’s working – Show Twitter followers and numbers
- Many companies actually block or ban social media networks; but we will guide/direct this activities while keeping it fun (We get to “Facebook” for WORK!) For Travel related companies this can mean blogging about your travel experiences = additional SEO pickup and impressions you can track back to your site Use Travel Blog example Flickr, YouTube, FB and Twitter examples Get them energized! (if this means incentivizing and/or rewarding and recognizing just as you would around any other company priority or initiative) Put a face behind the brand Use FB media tab example of Store of the Month/Travel Expert features Also show personalities coming through on FB status updates, Twitter updates and blogs 6 percentage points Increase last year in overall employee ENGAGEMENT; indexing over 10% above industry/organization norms for ENGAGE results (surveyed by Kenexa_
- Share results regularly on organic search results/rankings; revenue translated direct from social media networks; consumer engagement and impressions via retweets/Facebook engagement
- Internal vs. external communities -? Should an internal social community be completely separate from an external one?
- Videos, content produced for viral release/rich media for content display across our web site We continue to expand our library through our World Traveler Internship program and through employee travel experiences
