An introduction to e-marketing Electronic marketing. How very Bladerunner… e-marketing redefined? Engagement marketing Marketing is: engaging your customers via the most effective means. So who are they? Where are they? What are they talking about? How are they talking about it?

‘ The changing landscape’ We know the landscape’s changing, the big difference is how fast… Social Media development is powered by the customers Facebook: 300m active users 65m accessing via mobiles Twitter 1m at end of 2008 now 50m Over 70% of purchases come via friend-recommendations

Power to the people Consumers are taking control. But they are becoming easier to manipulate…I mean target. They are tailoring their digital social life and refining how we interact. Groups & Twitter lists are enhancing this sense of ‘belonging’ to a community / brand / interest / location / lifestyle ‘ Local’ is the new global. World wide web is a local narrow network. Content management, in its truest form, means your customer is self-selecting. They ‘opt-in’ and look to exchange relevant content with like minds.

So how can you get a slice of the digital pie? 3 words you will hear a lot: Word of mouth…or WOM. So say something (but not too much). Advise, comment, have an opinion, steal someone else’s!! (by agreeing with them) You don’t have to be a big brand to be trusted! You just need to be relevant If it is relevant, it will get talked about: recommended/ favourited / forwarded / retweeted Relevance breeds trust. It also generates links to your site! Content will kill all your digital birds with one, targeted stone. … or rather feed them, so they come back for more…!

Design Copywriting Blogging Website Tweeting Campaign Strategy Content – where’s the value?

Social media – so what? Be where your customers are, talking about what they want to talk about… Conversion through conversation. Branding and sales. CRM to ‘opted-in’ fans / followers. Social Media Advertising. Crucially, think before you tweet…

Results – what really counts? Brand reach = awareness Awareness = traffic Traffic = brand engagement Brand engagement = sales, bookings, referrals, rinse, repeat

Be found. Get on Twitter to drive brand awareness, brand engagement, traffic, bookings, referrals, recommendations, more bookings... It is not scary. It does not take a lot of time. It is powerful. Find relevant ‘lists’ and you will find relevant people – I’m on ‘realpeople’ and ‘allroundgoodeggs’, also ‘online-marketing’ and ‘rugby’. Don’t get on there and start shouting. Listen, engage, advise, be ‘honest’ and be ‘real’. It is free (for now), it’s searchable by Google, and it is targeted. If nothing else, use it as a free research tool to better understand your customers! And focus on intelligent, engagement marketing.
