![[Step 2] What do you want?
The bottom line is usually more customers
and more money, but what do we want to
achieve *using* social media?
Communications, marketing, sales, hiring,
branding, broadcasting information,
advertising, engagement, leads?
HOW can you use these strategies?](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/markhillarycampuspartyjan2013-130129140643-phpapp02/75/Mark-Hillary-Campus-Party-Presentation-2013-9-2048.jpg)
![[Step 3] Measuring success
How are you going to measure if your social
media plans are working? Success looks
different depending on your company.
Do you want a bigger community of fans?
Do you want happier customers?
Do you want more loyal customers?
Do you want more productive employees?](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/markhillarycampuspartyjan2013-130129140643-phpapp02/75/Mark-Hillary-Campus-Party-Presentation-2013-10-2048.jpg)

Mark Hillary Campus Party Presentation 2013
The document discusses the importance of social media in modern business, emphasizing that while tools are evolving, many companies struggle to utilize them effectively due to a lack of understanding. It outlines a strategic approach through three steps: identifying the type of company, determining objectives for social media, and measuring success. Key points include the distinction between business-to-business and business-to-consumer strategies, the significance of meaningful engagement over mere follower counts, and the necessity of integrating real-world interactions.

- 3. Social media isall around • All your customers are touched by social media in some way during their life each day • TV channels, bus companies, the metrô, shops, restaurants, even the police are using it • So it can’t be avoided… BUT there are many companies still struggling to make the most of it
- 4. The challenge? It is not social media itself, it’s PEOPLE 1. Social media tools are evolving rapidly 2. Social tools require more than technical skills 3. Many companies are run by people who grew up before the Internet 4. People need guidance, but there are many “gurus” out there

- 11. Big Business toConsumer (B2C) Typical Actions • Big marketing campaigns • Marketing diverted from other channels to social activity Typical Measurement • Ultimately, sales figures of consumer products in markets where social activities are used to promote the brand
- 12. Big Business toConsumer (B2C) Typical Failures • Jumping on back of news to sell • Asking people without a deep knowledge of the brand to manage SocMed • Not being around – customers are not 9-5 •Not defending the brand Example: American Apparel, Hurricane Sandy
- 13. Big Business toBusiness (B2B) Typical Actions • Create industry thought leadership • Engage with the influencers in their industry, the people who advise or influence corporate customers Typical Measurement • Mostly engagement - are analysts, journalists, advisors interested?
- 14. Big Business toBusiness (B2B) Typical Failures • Corporate PR overload ‘have a nice day’ photos on Facebook… who cares? • Selling or just broadcasting rather than engaging with key influencers – too much information can be seen as spam Example: fake account @BPGlobalPR had more followers than the real BP channels after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill
- 15. Small/Medium B2B Typical Actions • Create industry thought leadership • Enhance traditional PR and create a deeper relationship with journalists and bloggers • Directly finding potential customers Typical Measurement • Visibility in media as a result of online activity and relationships created
- 16. Small/Medium B2B Typical Failures • Just broadcasting information… nobody really cares, it becomes spam • Failing to target the key people - you need to inform people who can reach customers • Relying entirely on SocMed alone Example: trying to ride the news cycle with surveys and useless information, more spam
- 17. Small/Medium B2C Typical Actions • Community building, creating fans • Using the community to host events • Timely offers to stimulate sales Typical Measurement • Size and engagement of community – can you create a small amount of income each year from each online ‘fan’
- 18. Small/Medium B2C Typical Failures • Irrelevant content • Poorly timed content •Being too corporate Examples: Too many to mention, how many restaurants and bars ask you to ‘check-in’ yet never give you anything. Why bother?
- 19. Points to remember 1. You are in business, not social media 2. Don’t measure on social numbers alone… • More followers doesn’t mean you sell more • Think of real social engagement and leads • Think carefully about your online interactions 3. SocMed DOES NOT replace the real world

- 22. Most importantly, LISTEN! Good or bad, your customers are talking about you right now…
- 23. Summary – stepby step 1. What kind of company are you? 2. What do you want to achieve from the use of social media? 3. How are you going to measure it? SocMed is now important, but remember the real world still exists!
