16 Relegated to the “Social Media Help Desk” The Situation The Problem  Customers become  With limited resources, accustomed to “yelling companies can‟t scale 1:1 in public” dialog  Business units adopt  Social efforts are “social media fever” and uncoordinated and deploy on their own fragmented As internal and external demands mount, companies become mostly reactive, relegating themselves to a “Social Media Help Desk.”© 2010 Altimeter Group

21 1. Formalize a Hub and Spoke model quickly Move from fragmentation and decentralization to coordination where business units can deploy own their own. Tip: Governance > Process > Education will organically manifest as a Hub.© 2010 Altimeter Group

22 Become an enabler for business units  You can never hire enough community managers or deploy and manage efforts.  Therefore, establish a “Center of Excellence” at the Hub to support and enable business units© 2010 Altimeter Group

24 Best Buy leverages “super users” to answer 30% of all questions Started in 2008, Best Buy‟s community receives 2.5 million visitors a year, generating 100,000 conversations. In addition, 25 super users spend 8-12 hours a week on the site answering about 30 percent of all the questions asked.© 2010 Altimeter Group

26 Sephora extends Facebook conversations by launching its own community, Beauty Talk “We had such a robust natural conversation on Facebook,” said Bridget Dolan, vice president of interactive media. “We saw that women were asking each other questions -- they‟d say, „What‟s a great waterproof mascara?‟ And within an hour, they‟d have about 17 really well-thought-out answers.”© 2010 Altimeter Group

40 Why Social Media Management Systems?  Corporations Struggle to Manage Hundreds and Thousands of Accounts  Kenneth Cole and Chrysler Debacles Prove Need for Parental Controls  Expect Regulatory Industries to Require This Safeguard System  Direct/Email Marketers Want a Piece of Social Marketing to Blast in New Channels  Agencies Know SMMS Provides Client Lock-in and Recurring  A Complementary Toolset for Social Platforms, Social Commerce, Brand Monitoring Vendors, Marketing Automation© 2010 Altimeter Group

42 Closing Thoughts on Priorities 1. Get ready internally, focus on governance, process, then education to emerge in the center of excellence. 2. Remember 1:1 doesn‟t scale, leverage the crowd for first response, then interact in escalations. 3. Integrate social to increase relevancy and reduce costs on creating content. 4. Standardize social media management tools now so data can be aggregated. 5. Remember the future is more than social marketing: It cascades to support, product innovation, then supply chain.© 2010 Altimeter Group
