Editor's Notes
- Ongoing monitoring of your customers’ conversations with each other instead of occasional surveys and focus groups. *** 2 ways to do this: private community, ongoing brand monitoring. Private communities are expensive... *** Check social technographics: if creators and critics are high - at least 15%, a listening strategy is effective; if these numbers are 30% - monitoring is imperative. Smaller than 15%, a private community may make more sense. *** Include who (and how) to interpret the information and what to do with it.
- Decide as an organization *why* you are listening. If you’re listening in order to participate - make sure people are empowered to participate. If you’re listening to make better organizational decisions - find ways to share the information [strategy/tactics] and incorporate what you learn into the decision making process. No more being stupid.
- marketers don’t dictate the path people take nor do they lead the dialogue. Once people are aware of your product, a new dynamic kicks in: people learning from each other.
- What is energizing?? capitalizing on accidental spokespeople and developing/creating/supporting citizen marketers. Ratings and reviews (ebags) create a community to energize your customers participate in and energize online communities of your brand (LEGO)
- Forums & wikis. When you have a lot of customers that need heavy support

- with most of these... start small and figure out what works and then scale up. build with room to grow and scale up. “failing fast” - easy to do when you you start small... you can test it and move on. Once it grows, harder to do.
- choose your technologies carefully.
