People were a little different in the day of mass marketing.
How it used to work
The novelty of the media experience was compelling.
Radio was a marvel – in its day. Television was astounding.
How it used to work

• Network TV cost about $3.50 per thousand in 1977.
• Weekly magazines gathered wide consensus on what was interesting and newsworthy.
• Most adults read at least one daily newspaper.
How it used to work
Until it stopped working.
How it used to work
Why It Changed
People changed.
• The rules changed; consumers demanded they be treated like individuals.
• Computers created instant gratification.
Why it changed
Media fragmented.• Media costs continued to rise while audiences shrank.
• Digital media evolved 60 years’ worth in about 12 years.
• Years it took to reach an audience of 50 Million:
Radio: 38 years Television: 13 years Internet: 4 years IPod: 3 years Facebook: 2 years
Why it changed
Power shifted rapidly from the marketer to the consumer.
Why it changed
Today’s Marketing for Success
Engagement = Conversion
• People seek information they already agree with.
• They interact with sources that confirm their own desires, intentions and opinions.
• They can and will rapidly tune out any message that imposes on them.
The new shape of marketing
A managed dialog with the consumer must take place to close the sale.
• Identify interests, intentions, desires.
• Respond with considerate, thoughtful messages.
• Analyze consumer reaction.• Adapt and send further refined and
relevant messages.• Convert and close the sale.
The new shape of marketing
• Consumers will not pay attention to you if you aren’t speaking directly to them.
• If not relevant, your message becomes part of the content avalanche.
The new shape of marketing
For example…
• This family is not interested in a romantic getaway.
The new shape of marketing
And also…
• This couple isn’t interested in children’s activities.
The new shape of marketing
The New Tools Background
• Social Media is a 24-hour advertising opportunity – an ongoing dialogue with current and potential customers.– Social Media is a two-way conversation
with customers, providing valuable insight and information that proactively drives results.
– Social Media allows people to connect with a business and enables businesses to network with them to promote and expand their message and brand footprint.
What is social media
Here are some fun facts!•Lady Gaga, Justin Beiber and Britney Spears have more Twitter followers than the entire populations of Sweden, Israel, Greece, Chile, North Korea and Australia.•Groupon is projected to reach $1 billion in sales faster than any company in history.•48% of 18 to 24 year olds check Facebook right when they wake up, about 28% check it from their smartphones before getting out of bed.

Social media as an acquisition tool
Building The Framework
Getting started
The simple act of creating an online presence—whether through a blog, a Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or YouTube
profile —will in and of itself not bring in new business.
Getting started
Goal setting first - ROI
***BEFORE YOU GET STARTED!***
•Define the “R” – what are your expected results? – New sales, leads, etc.
•Define the “I” – what is your investment– Put a number against it – social media is a part of marketing and it’s an
investment not an expense.
The first things you need to know
“With social media, companies are no longer in control of the relationship. Instead, customers (and their highly influential
virtual networks) are now driving the conversation, which can trump a company’s marketing, sales and service efforts with
unprecedented immediacy and reach.” – IBM
IBM Institute for Business Value: From social media to Social CRM. What customers want.
The first things you need to know
So what do you do?
Strategic, integrated marketing plan:• Begins with research!• Who is your target?• Where do they live, work, play? • Where do they go online? Offline? • Then, build out the plan…• Keyword research becomes an important part of this plan
Getting started
• Integration is key to success. • Social media marketing works alongside your other marketing
strategies.• It can help make your marketing budget work harder.
– Overlapping social media with mainstream marketing efforts can help to achieve more “bang for your buck.”
Marketing for success
The first things you need to know
Social media is ultimately about interacting with others with an expectation of getting something in return. Even if that
“something” is intangible, such as a feeling of connectedness or affection, participants are
actively, purposefully seeking value.” – IBM

The first things you need to know
How can you best serve your customers? Give first… then you will receive!
“When asked what they do when they interact with businesses or brands via social media, consumers list “getting discounts or coupons” and “purchasing
products and services” as the top two activities, respectively. They rank “reading reviews and product rankings” third, which is also
often part of the purchasing process as customers research product information before deciding to transact.”

W.I.I.F.M
Here are some basics:•What will motivate your customer?
• Giveaways, prizes, sweepstakes, education
•If you don’t know, ask and research.
•Overarching promotions drive registration and data capture for remarketing in the future, we can also create offers to be used immediately driving ROI.
W.I.I.F.M
Duplin County
• Social media is not about posting on what you had for breakfast…
• Suggest to you to think about social media as a set of tools that can be used to derive the optimum value from our customers during the lifetime of the relationship.
• Businesses are less inclined to use social media to capture customer insights, monitor the brand, conduct research, or solicit ideas for new products or services, despite these being some of the most fruitful opportunities for this.
Thinking Differently

Social CRM
Implementation
.
• There are some really creative things we can do with Facebook.
• Thanks to iFrames you can customize your Facebook page.
• This does not take the place of your website.
• Facebook is the place to engage and serve… then give reasons for people to go to your website to convert.
Here are some pages we have done for clients that are live right now.
.
• Put your Social Media icons on all traditional and print media (e.g. your business cards, letterhead, brochures, print newsletters, magazine ads, products, etc. point of sale)
• Include a link to your fan page in your email signature block in every email you send out.
Facebook – more fans?
.
•Text “FBOOK” with the words “fan smithadv” – you’ll get a confirmation message.
•Incentivize customers to join right away via their mobile device and show you/your staff the confirmation for some kind of instant reward!
Facebook – more fans?
.
• Engagement is #1.• Ask questions (open ended).• Your own thoughts, breaking news, useful tips, tools, resources and
links from other sites in your industry and related industries.• Add your own comments as needed to get the ball rolling. • Come back and reply often to your fans’ comments.• Multi-media (e.g. photos and video) elicit the most commenting. • Create compelling reasons for fans to go to your website! (remember
W.I.I.F.M) • Use keywords in your posts to help with search (this is with all social
media platforms!)
Facebook – what to post

• Twitter real-time search is also used and integrated on many 3rd party tools
Keyword strategy
Keyword Research Tutorial
• Sign up for a Gmail account, then sign up for Google AdWords.
• Just because you think people are searching for a particular word or set of words with your business, doesn’t mean that’s true.
• Keyword research builds the foundation for everything you create and should be integrated into your communications & marketing strategy. This includes your Website & social media which are intrinsically linked.
• So how do we figure it out?

How can I use social media to enhance my sales?
Social media influences sales
Consumer reviews are significantly trusted – nearly 12x more than descriptions that come from manufacturers and marketers.

Consumer reviews

Online Reviews

you meet• Proactively manage the info out there on you!• Personal and company pages
