Introduction Social Amplification Program started in Turkey in September 2013 and has covered the Facebook pages of Windows Turkey, Microsoft Developer Turkey and Microsoft Partner Network Turkey. We started to work on Windows page in October and on Microsoft Developer and Microsoft Partner Network in November.

Then because of the community similarity with Microsoft Developer Turkey, we started to support Acik Akademi and Ms Kampüs pages. We started to work on them in November as well.

On the other hand, Internet Explorer Turkey has approximately 250k fans, we want it to keep it this page alive and started to manage it. We started to work on IE Turkey page on March 2014.

We’ve also met with SQL Server side from Microsoft Turkey and try to give our advices and support their social media channels called SQL Server Onculeri since January 2014.

Finally, for the social media planning actions, we’ve colloborated with UM for several times and in accordance with that we posted for Microsoft Turkey couple of times, share our advices for the campaign process’.

Quick Learnings – Key Metrics • Our fanbase has growth 59.385 and reached to 174.026 fans in total and on the monthly

basis, it approximately growth 5.672 fans but more importantly we reached most of these fans later on.

• From time to time we couldn’t post regularly due to the news like Soma Mine Disaster but we have posted approximately 24 times per month on the average.

• Our daily organic and viral reach numbers moves up according to engagement count of content, it’s not possible to know how many of Windows fans have seen our content since we started but based on our experience, we assume that our contents have met with over %80 them at least 1 time.

• Users have preferred to engage by liking our content atmost and «share» has the lowest count. However, our «share» numbers are quite high when it’s compared with the other Windows pages around the world and our engagement count keeps increasing and it has reached the peak by June.

• «13-34 Male» is the most dominant gender-age diversity and this sub-community decides to life circle of our contents. We always try to take their attention in the first base. As this gender-age diverstity has %61 of all community, we have posted most of our content between 17:00 – 20:30.

Page 16: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Sharing is Caring

Due to we don’t use Facebook Ads for Windows or do not have any competition, «share» counts are so important for us. Therefore we try to make our content «sharable».

Even we posted a «product content», we try to attach an interesting photo or a remarkable copy.

This simply helps us to reach further people or reach more fans.

Page 17: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – = Computer

We try to claim «Computer» word and environment and try to make users think Windows = Computer.

Gaming is our another channel to reach computer users and we also try to claim «Gaming».

Due to it’s not possible to play games on Mac, we try to remind people that they need Windows to play computer games.

Page 18: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Ask The Right Question

«Which», «When», «How many» questions perform much better than «Why» or «How» questions.

We give them choices, visualize it or ask them a question which can be answered by just writing a word or number.

Rarely we ask them negative questions to get insights from their side and try to understand what’s wrong on their side.

Page 19: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Use The Internet Culture

We use one of the most popular thing of global Internet Culture «meme»s or one of the most popular thing of Turkish Internet culture «caps» to engage with our community.

These posts get so many interaction, especially likes and shares and bring new fans to our page.

We combine these kind of images with a remarkable copy and attach to a related Windows web page link in order to drive fans to guidance pages.

Page 20: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – «That’s Turkish!»

Although we’re managing a global brand like Windows, we know that we’re trying to reach Turkish people. «It’s Turkish» is one of our insights and in the highlight of this, we try to use «Turkish» solutions.

Page 21: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Retro Rules! Then & Now and Retro always get great interaction therefore we try to post this kind of content at least 1 or 2 per month.

Fans like Bill Gates, floppies, internet in the 90s etc.

Page 22: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Keep It Simple And Smile

As Turkish people don’t like reading and Twitter change the perception about long writings, we try to keep our texts short and easily drive them to the web site or make them understand what we want to tell.

On the other hand, there are so many researches show that contents and comments with smileys gets much more interaction than the other ones. Additionally, people use social media for fun.

Therefore using smileys give us a positive appearence.

Page 23: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Links Are Valuable

We add a link to our content where possible and try to drive fans to support page or Windows web site.

Users might not find the content itself interesting but they might want to click the link or share the link.

Therefore links give us another chance to interact with our fans.

Page 24: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Series! Series! Series!

We created some irregular series and a regular series called «Re-use the old computer parts».

Page 25: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Conversations & Messages • We try to give a response to all questions and some of the comments. Sooner or later we always

send a reply to the private messages we receive. When we start we had only 5-10 private messages a day and 5-6 comments to reply but these days we recieve approximately 30-40 private messages a day and depending on content we may have 10-12 comments to reply as well.

• Our main strategy for the conversations and messages is creating an environment which offes fun and information around Windows and where fans can connect with each other.

• We always try to send the last message. Even a fan send a message and tell us «Thank you I’ve solved it with you help» then we send another message and thank them for informing us regarding the result.

• We may not send a quick response and in this case we inform them due to a busy period we were not able to send a quick response but we always send a response to Windows fans.

• Smileys are also being used in private messages and comments in order to create a more positive appearance.

Page 26: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Act Like a Human, Not a Robot!

We always want to make fans think «This page is being runned by a human» and in accordance with that, we do not use fixed responses or comments.

Sometimes we just response them with a Facebook smile or we thank them for their comment or we ask them a new question.

So many fans like our comments and this bring us more interaction.

Page 27: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – We’re Here To Help You We’re trying to be resourceful and eager to help. We always seek to deliver what the fan is looking for and solve their problem.

Page 28: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Make’em Surprised & LaughedPeople use social

media for fun. We should give them what they want sometimes. Even we strike back we try to have a sense of humour.

What’s Next? • Windows Turkey has 174.3k fans now and in the last 10 months it gained ~60k new fans. Our first

goal is expanding our community but it’ll probably grow slowly when it’s compared with the previous months. By the end of a year we guess Windows page will have ~180k fans.

• On the other hand our engagement is quite high and we want to keep this engagement numbers up. We want to keep engagement/post numbers 300-400 at least.

• Due to we don’t have a Windows Phone Turkey page, we are planning to post more contents around Windows Phone topic.

• Most of Windows XP and Windows Vista users don’t think about updating to Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 because of the old PC they have. In the highlight of this, we’ll keep trying to drive fans to buy a new PC with Windows 8.1.

• We are planning to share one Microsoft Developer content on Windows page per month and pick an app or two and drive fans to these apps on Windows page.

• Now we have a more engaged community and we’ll end «Reusing the old computer parts» series and will start to «Windows Tip» series.

Page 45: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Use Inside

Sleepless, tired, untied etc. Even developers have so many negative occurance in their lives, they like to talk about it.

Additionally, they like the content that only they can understand.

Therefore we post a content about the funny and inner sides of a life of developer.

jokes

Page 46: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – <Codes> & </Memes>

Codes are kinda key to engage with them. On the other hand, as they are online almost all day, memes are another thing to make them move.

We use both memes and codes accordingly.

Page 47: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Have Your Own Format

We try to be minimalistic. As we always try to motivate fans to start a new project, we use qotes and anonymous statements.

We visualize them just as a solid background and text on it.

This brings their attention to our content and cause a great interaction.

Page 48: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Series – Stragety – Series – Stra...

As on Windows, seris are performing quite well on Microsoft Developer too.

We had a long series called «From the point of Developer’s view» and «A true developer story» series and these series bring so many new fans and cause a great engagement.

Page 49: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – We Speak To All ITPROs

Despite Microsoft is eager to connect with C, C++ and C# developers, we want to get in touch with all developers and make them visit our page.

Even we have %1 chance of make them think about learning C++ or C#, if we make it happen then we’d barely count ourselves as successful.

Page 50: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Visual Studio & Azure & MVA

As Visual Studio, Microsoft Azure and MVA hasn’t got any child page of Turkey, we try to share the contents regarding them or driving our fans to them.

Therefore, we may share webinar annoucements of Azure or new updates of Visual Studio on Microsoft Developer page.

Page 51: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Acik Akademi & MS Kampus

We have a cross communication between Acik Akademi & Ms Kampus & Microsoft Developer Turkey.

Sometimes we share the content of Microsoft Developer on the other two pages or sometimes we share Acik Akademi Virtual Class announcement on Microsoft Developer Turkey.

This colloboration bring us so many fans from these pages and make virtual classes reach much more people.

Page 52: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Conversations & Messages • We try to give a response to all questions and some of the comments. Sooner or later we always

send a reply to the private messages.

• Microsoft Developer would like to offer a fun and interactive environment where developers can connect with their peers, take advantage of relevant Microsoft resources and opportunities, and feel inspired to pursue their goals.

• We want to build strong brand advocates to help us on our behalf.

• We want fans to understand «We’re not here to sell anything, we’re here to embrace geek life, tech evangelism and developers»

• Microsoft Developer is more open to make fans connect with each other and in accordance with that we don’t involve every conversation and let them speak sometimes.

Page 53: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – Try to Help & Being Informative

Being Informative is the biggest help to fans of Microsoft Developer.

What’s Next? • Microsoft Developer has 9.8K fans now and in the last 9 months it gained ~7./K new fans. It still

has a great potential about gaining new fans over Açık Akademi, Ms Kampüs, viral reach of itself and Facebook Ads. By the end of a year we’re expecting Microsoft Developer Turkey page will have ~12k fans.(This is the 6th most crowded page among Microsoft Developer pages)

• On the other hand our engagement is quite high for a page with 9.8K fans and we want to keep this engagement in the same level. Our aim is keeping engagement/post numbers 100-200 at least.

• Visual Studio global page has 17K Turkish fans and Microsoft Azure global page has 6K Turkish fans but we don’t have a child page for these accounts. Therefore we’ll keep sharing news and announcements regarding Visual Studio or Microsoft Azure.

• We have a Twitter account for Microsoft Developer which was opened by the end of June and now have 303 followers. We may use this account more effectively and create Twitter chat sessions.

Observations – Key Metrics • Interaction, growth and all the other key metrics for Partner Network pages are quite low. It’s

not a local problem, it’s valid for all countries.

• MPN is not able to use Social Content like Windows, Developer or Internet Explorer and this effect the page overall score badly. Only share numbers are meaningful. Engagement/Post number is around 1.(According to Sprinklr, it’s 2 for MPN Germany, 1 for MPN South Africa and 1 for MPN Italy)

• Microsoft should seriously think about using Facebook Ads and pulling all the partners inside the Facebook page.

Key Metrics - Observations• As the Internet Explorer page hasn’t got so many content like Windows or Microsoft Developer,

we only share 2 posts in a week and because of this our reach numbers always go up and down.

• We have 252k fans but don’t know how many of them are really belong to IE TR page. Probably some of these fans have added to Internet Explorer page because of merge process’ and these fans unlike our page as soon as we appear on their feed and basicly we will come back to the fanbase we have.

• Internet Explorer has a like based engagement. Comments are following them but most these comments are jokes about Internet Explorer.

• Demographic of fans of Internet Explorer TR is pretty similar with Windows community. «13-34 Male» is the strongest diversity and we try to take their attention to make our content reach further users.

Strategy - %50 Product -+ %50 Social

As we post twice per week and don’t have so many contents like Windows or Microsoft Developer, we try to keep our content stragety balanced as %50 product related and %50 social.

We try to be funny, helpful and remarkable to remove the negative perception of IE.

Page 74: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy - «Internet» Is Our First Name!

We try to claim everything about «Internet» and try to be experimental.

We use memes, retro things and Internet history of Microsoft.

Page 75: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Strategy – If It Works, It Works Everywhere!

It’s another channel to understand which content performs well and which doesn’t.

Sometimes we use contents from Microsoft Developer or Windows and sometimes we use contents of Internet Explorer on Windows or Microsoft Developer accordingly, because of it works, it works everywhere!

Page 76: Microsoft Social Amplification Program - 2014

Conversations & Messages – Strategy Just like other pages, we try to help users and response to all their questions and comments. On the other hand, when it’s about Internet Explorer, there are so many «evil-minded» users appears, we give some of them ironic responses.

Office Social Listening Reports of Office shows that social conversation volume around Office & Office 365 is so low and to make it increased, Office Child Page and Twitter account would be so useful.

Office global page has 12K fans and based on our experiences communicating in Turkish accelerates the growth and interaction.

Also it’s possible to track «Office» keyword

on Twitter and engage with users in order to

make the conversation around Office & Office 365 increased.

SQL Server ÖncüleriSql Server Onculeri seems like have a though account to be managed and it has a niche community to communicate but we had a great engagement at the SQL Server posts on Microsoft Developer. Acik Akademi and Microsoft Developer has so many fans that we can drive SQL Server Onculeri and vice versa. SQL Server Onculeri has an engagement problem as well. Content strategy is over-product related and community management is almost zilch which makes SQL Server Onculeri uneffective on social

Açık Akademi / Ms Kampüs Two pages has growth almost %20 by the support of Social Amplification Program but despise their 40k fanbases they both have an engagement problem. The main problem in here is lack of community management and content stragety. We support them with the contents of Microsoft Developer but it’s not enough to have a success story in the terms of engagement and reach. (Acik Akademi has also a great fanbase on Twitter.(7.4k))
