Notes de l'éditeur
- Think! Social Media is a leading digital marketing agency with a laser-focus on the tourism industry and its roots in social media.Everyone who works at Think! has a Passion for travel.We believe that the travel experience enhances peoples’ lives and that tourism makes the world a better place. By improving all stages of the tourism experience for consumers, we can help DMOs to achieve their goals and share their region with the world. Weembrace the values of social media. Transparency and leading through openness are fundamental to our business. We believe that relationships are paramount and lead to trust.
- Shiny object syndrome – what makes me look good, so lets look at what social media marketing actually is first
- We’re deliberately going back to an example that predates social media but still harnesses online communities. Point: there is nothing magical and unique about social media.Test of Metal is a bike race in Squamish. It sells out every year within an hour. HUGE sell out.
- CONFIRMS THE “QUICK AND DIRTY” EXPERIMENT WORKEDPrior to experiment, race was filled with local“The trail systems of the North Shore, Squamish and Whistler, areestimated to have collectively generated $10.3 million in spending from riders that live outside of the host community over the period from June 4 to September 17, 2006.”“Squamish saw spending from riders totaling over $1.7 million as a result of non-residentriders visiting the trail system as well as training and participating in the popular Test of Metalmountain bike race held in mid June each year.” “The combined expenditures of non-resident riders on the trail systems in the three communities resulted in a total of $9.3 million in new economic activity (GDP) and supported 194 jobs through the payment of just over $6.3 million in wages and salaries.”

- Human beings have evolved because of our extroadinary communication skills. Tribes grunted and pointed to tell each other how to use a club to beat the lion over the head so you could survive and eat.
- Social media is not another marketing channel. It is a communication tool.It’s very accessible and its growing like wildfire.Throughout the planning process, we are seeking and creating information.There have been many innovations that let humans communicate further and faster.The internet is the most powerful communication tool on the planet.
- The decision process that travellers go through is complex. At each stage consumers are communicating.This process often overlooked by tourism businesses who just want sales. Tahiti vs trip to Saskatchewan (joke about the weather).
- Many businesses have not caught up with the consumer.Organizations are still spending most of their time on awareness and not enough time at the other levels of the process.Awareness is hard when there is so much competition.
- At the same time as people are communicating more, there’s huge competition for our attention as consumers.Joke about booth.
- Here’s a photo of Lindsay, my girlfriend. She’s from Calgary and recently went on her first big trip.
- … and what we’re finding is, with these dialogues, we’re no longer in control of the message anymore, which is absolutely true. The power has shifted from the business to the consumer…. people are out there talking about us, and we can’t stop it. So we have to adapt and be a part of those conversations. Online are already happening about your destination/brand/org and you might not be aware of it.Your target market is now more likely to find this information than they are to find what you’re putting out there. When I search something on google what comes up? At very least, you need to be aware of it. Ideally, you see this as an opportunity and capitalize on it. Online conversations cannot be ignored. Most are permanent. They’re relevant to your DMO, stakeholders and also present a number of opportunities
- Many businesses have not caught up with the consumer.Organizations are still spending most of their time on awareness and not enough time at the other levels of the process.Awareness is hard when there is so much competition.RESEARCH SHOWS THAT CONSUMERS TRUST EACH OTHER. WORD OF MOUTH COMMUNICATION IS HOW THE HUMAN RACE HAS EVOLVED AND FLOURISHED.
- Spend less resources on awareness and more time having conversations with people lower in the funnel.Greece and Amsterdam need a strategy to engage Lindsay. Measurement and performance is easier if they get her on their fan page or twitter account. But the reality is that it doesn’t matter where she promotes your destination. You need to give people things to promote, work with industry.
- At Think!, we use a series of concentric circles to understand communities. Passion is very strong interest. It follows that the more passionate a community, the stronger the trust and frequency of word-of-mouth communication.Some people have more influence in a community than others. We call these people influencers. Someone’s influence is a factor of reach and level of trust or credibility. Its easy to think of influencers as being very close to the center of a community. Influencers can often drive the direction of the community at large.Many elite sporting professionals who have risen to the top of their game are considered to be influencers because their fans look up to them. This concept can also apply to our own personal networks. We all know which one of our friends to ask for advice when its time to buy a new computer.

- Because of the cost and long-cycles associated with traditional advertising, destinations have historically been constrained to broad categories such as beach holidays, golf vacations, family getaways and adventure travel. With so much information available to consumers, it I s becoming increasingly important to present the right message to the right consumers.For example, Aspen, Colorado could break adventure travel into many niches, such as skiing, snowboarding, river rafting, mountain biking and more. Each of these passions will resonate with a different community.
- Targeted campaigns are like using a rifle vs shotgun. Targeted campaigns allow for a conversation with your audience, rather than a one-way pitch.
- How does this change impact destination marketing?
- a) Explain methodology from our strategic projects. In helping organisations get to level 4, we realised a level 5.When you get to level 4, you’ll actually realise that it’s not an evolution at all. Evolution doesn’t seem to work. Its revolution.

- You have to have a remarkable experience so that your customers have something to talk about. Next you need to let people know what you have to offer, through any combination of advertising, sales, marketing etc. Once you’ve made the promise, you should aim to exceed peoples’ expectations. This will make them love you and will make it easier to maintain a post-purchase relationship. Create and manage a community that your customers want to be involved in. Offer them value. Do it online and you’ll save time and money. Use that community to market to each other and to friends. Let them support each other. Tap into their wealth of knowledge for feedback on your existing products and to design new solutions. Use that learning to improve your products.

- explain the benefits of adding content to trip advisor, using facebook fan page to begin your own community:TripAdvisor has more traffic. There’s more chance of making people aware of your destination when they’re browsing for something else. (more chance than them stumbling on to your website).
