What the role of relationship marketing was before web 2.0.
e.g. Theodore Levitt, intensifying the relationship, developing a series of valued transactions with the same customer. etc.
OR
The rise of social media, blogging, price comparison, information tagging and digital communities.
It’s about value and valuesCustomers expect savings, but choose who they keep company with.
Authenticity has worked for heritage brands for decades.
Now authenticity is also being expressed more in terms of shared social values.
Some relationships are mutually supportive and empowering
Others may be controlling and overtly seek to profit from your behaviour
How you respond when something goes wrong reveals the human face of the brand. This is increasingly important to people.
Relationship marketing, now extends into PR, Corporate Social Responsibility and Customer Service.
Prepare how you respond to customer problems through relationship marketing.
Social media monitoring helps identify problems before they become big problem.
It’s also about BIG small
Some brands will treat you in a Big way
Others in a small, but still highly valued, way
A social cause with editorial voice
Real world, with a twist of celebrity glamour
Inviting participation
Offering trial and reward
Sharing views and experiences
Securing peer group approval
Shared interests
Regular engagement
Valued reward for little cost
Being faithful is anti-socialYour consumers will want to try something new, so provide the sizzle of the affair, as well as the long term relationship.
Increasingly it involves BUILDING PLATFORMS – things that become really important in the life of the consumer, but aren’t easy for competitors to replicate or own.
Platforms run on 2.0 networks and hardware. This example platform from Nike demonstrates a role for relationship marketing that wasn't possible before Web 2.0.
Example 2.0 Platform
Platforms are increasingly becoming more mobile. Apps and browser-based software extend the brand relationship, wherever the customer wishes to access and interact with a brand. Creating new transaction opportunities.
A customer who buys into the Nike+ platform changes their behaviour; the value of the brand relationship grows, with ongoing use, growing relevance and brand support.
• Customers have Great Expectations– Make the brand active and interested in customer preferences,
rather than just segment customers by their preferences.
• The 21st century is the age of the amplified consumer.
• It’s about value and values
• Authenticity is being shared in social values
• Develop relationships that are more mutually supportive and empowering
• Prepare how you respond for when something goes wrong
• Reward Big small as relevant
• Being faithful to brands is anti-social. So provide the sizzle of the affair, as well as the long term relationship
• Build Platforms that are highly valued and difficult for competitors to replicate.
So that your brand becomes more relevant, recommended and revisited at the next purchase.
