8. Understanding the driving forces of communities
THE MORE CONTENT YOU HAVE THE MORE MEMBERS YOU WILL GET.
THE MORE MEMBERS YOU HAVE THE MORE CONTENT YOU WILL GET.
THE BETTER YOU MATCH CONTENT AND MEMBERS TO MEMBER PROFILES THE MORE
MEMBERS AND CONTENT YOU WILL GET.
THE EASIER IT IS TO DO TRANSACTIONS THE MORE MEMBERS YOU WILL ATTRACT.
Those pillars create the dynamics of increasing returns which help
communities deliver GAME CHANGING results

customer dramatically – i.e., 50%
Communities will increase product introduction
success ratios
Communities amplify everything you do –
increasing effectiveness and decreasing costs
Beeline Labs
12. Major takeaway #2
The rise of the CMO 2.0
Communities should be an important part of
p p
the CMO’s toolset
(but for many large companies – there is an
under-investment and scale problem)
Communities should evolve the role of the
CMO into Chief Customer Officer
(but that will require drastic changes in
attitude and approach to marketing)
If done properly, communities will transform
the way marketing works
(reduced costs, improved effectiveness, new
opportunities)
pp )
Beeline Labs
13. Major takeaway #3
The need for new management thinking

y goals and

processes

Fiskars – the fiskateers program
3 original ambassadors

ambassadors in 6 months – achieved
that in 48 hours and reached 5000
Fiskateers in 18 months
months.
Goal to increase chatter by 10% –
instead increased by 600%
Goal to increase sales by 10% -
instead increased by 300%
Community provided a huge support
base when they ran into a PR nightmare
Program, which is now the main
marketing engine is now fully funded by
the big box stores
Beeline Labs
18. What’s the big difference between those programs?
A Successful A Successful Scrapbooking
MARKETING PROGRAM MOVEMENT
(will need continuous attention) (Going by itself)
Beeline Labs
19. Many communities have scalability issues
Bank of America
<20,000 members
,
BoA has more than 10M small
business users
Scaling business by 0.5% =
500,000 new accounts
New SB account is worth
$100 to BoA through referral
fees
500K accounts = $50M
This does not scale!

giving help?

“official channels”?

• What business value is there be for us to be associated with this
issue?
