Editor's Notes
- Welcome to our meeting tonight and thank you to our entire membership and especially our Programming chair Kelly Vander Hooft for organizing this event. For those who don’t know me, my name is Colette Acheson. In addition to my current role as President of Lethbridge EWI I own a company called ANCO Business Solutions. We provide business planning, marketing and communications services to Alberta businesses and non-profits.
- I first began to hear about using the Internet as a marketing vehicle when I worked as a marketing consultant at Rogers Broadcasting in 2003, and it was probably not long after that the world was introduced to Facebook.
- The Facebook website currently has more than 400 million active users worldwide, with about 13.5 million in Canada alone. Facebook is one of the most visible of what we now call social media.
- Social media is an umbrella term for the many different Web-based applications available today. The variety of uses for these applications are endless, including Internet forums and chat rooms, blogs, microblogging, wikis, podcasts, picture & video sharing, rating services, not to mention thousands of advertising services of one form or another.
- Social media allows all of us to move from content consumers... into content producers... We don’t just watch the news anymore, we become it.
- Social media can include social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn, online information sources like Wikipedia, directory sites such as ZoomInfo, search engines such as Google, information disemmination services including Twitter, video sharing sites like YouTube, and many more.
- Part of the lesson inherent in understanding social media is the speed at which knowledge is transmitted. It used to take weeks for a movie poorly-received by the public to see dropping dollars at the box-office. Now, it happens sometime between the Thursday premiere and the Monday morning paper. Twitter is another example - a February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network based on their count of 6 million unique monthly visitors and 55 million monthly visits . And none of this existed prior to 2006.
- I am sure everyone here knows about social media in their own lives. We use Facebook to connect with family and friends all over the world. Skype allows us to talk online for free, and we upload videos of weddings and birthdays to YouTube for all the world to see.
- I sometimes hear: Why can’t I stay with my traditional, tried and true marketing approaches that we’ve always used? Maybe you can, depending on your industry, your demographic. But listen to these stats relating to Canadian Internet users: Automotive: 63% have gone online to search for vehicle information. Banking: 61% have made financial transactions online Travel: 59% have gone online to look up travel info such as airline, hotel and car rental fares. Real Estate: 51% have searched for real estate info online. Employment Agencies: 50% have searched for jobs online. https://advertisers.yellowpages.ca/ypgweb/navigateTo?_idMenu=oa_market_stats Canadians are wired and ready to research and buy online Over 19.1 million Canadians are connected to the Internet Between 33-45% of online Canadians (by province) make purchases on the Internet.
- can you afford to keep your head in the sand?
- Here are some of the social media goals we hear about from our clients. Read slides as I scroll through next 6
- Web-based tools and social media in general offer some great marketing tools for businesses and organizations.
- Let’s look at a typical business/client interaction. It starts with a business who has a product or service to offer. And the customer, who has a need or problem to solve.
- Typically, Joe would advertise in the newspaper, on TV or radio, and in the Yellow Pages.
- In this context Joe’s role as the business owner is to develop content and distribute his message, and then he hopes that his customer sees his message and take action in the way Joe expects.
- The customer responds by calling, ordering a product, coming to the store, or some other predictable next step.
- In a typical marketing scenario, Joe is the source, the creator and the instigator. The customer’s role is primarily passive. Which all seemed to be working pretty well... until....
- the internet.... and many believe that marketing will never be the same again...
- In 1994, the Lethbridge Herald could claim 67% of household readership. Not anymore. 91% of Canadian Internet users say they go online to research product information FIRST, before looking in their yellow pages or local phone book. Radio listeners have evolved into narrower niche market segments, and television is increasingly expensive and fragmented with the growth of cable channels and satellite TV.
- Satellite and cable have fragmented television viewership with hundreds of specialty channels from all-food to all-cars to all-British and more. I know that around my house, if it’s not on HGTV chances are I’ll never see it.
- We are all in... a huge new learning curve
- As business professionals, we see the opportunities when marketing meets the internet... and I believe it can be an amazing collaboration...
- People sometimes ask... “Isn’t it enough to just register a domain name on a website, like opening a store and putting the listing in the phone book, just like a street address?”
- Is there a on-size-fits all package that works for everyone? No. The best mix of social media resources for any business or organization will depend on: the specific objective or goal Target demographic Skills of available staff, volunteers or contractors Budget
- Although internet tools are available to everyone, those who are most successful have mastered the concept of ‘popularity’ as it relates to web-based tools. In simple terms, search engine optimism refers to a process of making you, or your business, seem more ‘popular’ by measuring content relevance and acceptance by a substantial number of people.
- Contrary to my first impression, Facebook is not just for silly stuff like throwing sheep at people you’ve never met. Many social media applications can be used to contribute to building a strong online brand or presence for a person, business or organization.
- Let’s talk about 3 readily available and easy to use social media applications, and how they relate to a variety of organizational objectives. Blogs Facebook Twitter
