With a large segment of the population using social media, the ROI (Risk of Ignoring) is huge: 35% of internet users 18 or older have a profile on a social network.

    7. Social media is not just another marketing channel: The goal should not be just to put ads on MySpace. Companies should aim to use these tools as part of a strategy that can engage customers and make them brand advocates. Just as fans go home from a rock concert and tell their friends about the band, these tools can propel a company’s message into a topic of everyday conversation between consumers. A comprehensive Social Media marketing strategy provides speed, access, and broad reach in four types of conversations: Brand Message to Customer Communication within the Organization Customer Response to Brand Communication between Customers

Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh uses Twitter to give a real sense of personality to an online retail store. Papa John’s uses Facebook to deliver coupons to its fans. Snuggie posted their cheesy infomercial on YouTube, where customers made parody videos. They sold 4 million blankets with sleeves. DIY!
    10. Customer Response to Brand Transparency on message boards, blogs, and Twitter means that providing good customer service is good marketing. After a cable guy fell asleep on a customer’s couch, Comcast turned to Twitter to show its renewed dedication to customer service. Starbucks is introducing a gluten-free cake because customers voted for it. DIY!
    11. DIY! Word-of-mouth is the most trusted way for consumers to learn about new products. By monitoring what customers are saying, companies can adjust marketing campaigns or discover new opportunities. A Motrin commercial offended its target audience and the company quickly changed the campaign. Hiking gear manufacturers like Communication Tarptent read forums to monitor how their new designs hold up. between Customers
    12. Communication within the Organization Using Social Media tools within the organization can keep everyone updated without overwhelming employees with email. Sharing information quickly means that companies like Tropicana can respond to their business environment faster. Best Buy gave all employees email after one wrote on their social network about giving his personal email address to customers. The CIA created a top secret wiki to help them manage information from the war on terror. DIY!
