Why should we care?
1) Stimulus: need or desire 2) Moment of Purchase:
Which product or service will I choose?
3) User Satisfaction:
Maybe share opinions with a few friends
TRADITIONAL PURCHASE CYCLECreated by combining:
• Google’s Zero Moment of Truth

4) User Satisfaction:
SOCIAL MEDIA POWERED PURCHASE CYCLE

GIFTING
One step at a time
MAIN SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS
Initial:
• Facebook Page
• Blog
Later:
• SlideShare
• YouTube
• Google+
Concentrate on one account at a time and do it properly; however, you should also reserve your brand name in other accounts.
The process of finding out what kind of content is valuable to your community can take a long time.
Growing your community
YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO BE SHY
GOALS• What are you trying to achieve?
• What resources do you have?
• How will you know you are being successful?

The aim of of all social media activity is influence decisions, or take action.
Give people reasons to link back to your content and site.
By cross-linking between social media services you increase exposure and improve search results.

LANDING SITESF-Secure event landing page for the Mobile World Congress.

What kind of content should we create?
THEMATIC CONTENT SCHEDULESome things can be planned for (e.g. seasonal events), but otherwise it is fairly pointless to try and create specific content too far ahead.
Instead share the work amongst colleagues based around themes.
Appoint a Community Manager to nudge contributors now and again.
Here is our 1/3 suggestion:
Entertaining (useful & funny
content related to your industry)
Daily Diary(interesting things the company has been up to: new
product launches, recruits, etc)
Strategic(content that is designed to get people to take
action on specific goals and build
thought leadership)
EXPERIMENTINGInnocent Drinks Communities Manager:
• Social media is at a basic level just talking to people in a natural way
• We have always encouraged people to get in touch (even on packaging)
• Learning as we go, and willingness to admit to cock ups
• Experimenting with ideas and find what the right mix of content is

FOCUS NEEDED
Available resources

Everything you would like to promote
QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY!You can’t shine sh*t!
Social media can help promote quality.
But it also exposes problems.
No more hiding behind a bunch of customer support telephone lines hoping the bad news will stay under the radar.

ONE THINGDirect focus onto 1 (max 3) things you can genuinely claim to provide at a world class / national level.
What do the top social brands have in common?
PLENTY OF ATTITUDEBrands that do particularly well in social media have a consistent “attitude” across many channels.
This attitude guides their tone-of-voice and the content they create.
WHAT IS ATTITUDE?The easiest way we can express our values is to demonstrate:
• What are we for?
• What are we against?
ATTITUDE = VALUES IN ACTIONRami Saarela 2013
Are your values aligned?
