Hello everybody.
Today Lets see how can we DO MORE WITH LESS
using SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
According to me
For an offline business, the best way to use social media is to generate more customers from the existing ones.
So we need the real customers connect on our social media channels:
Unfortunately this is missing in our case.
This is because,
Probably we never had a channeled efforts to connect our offline customers on their preferred social media.
When I say social media, its not only:
Facebook or Instagram.
Text messages and Whatsapp are equivalent part of it.
So its basically anything that can be used to engage and enable customers to share with their friends & interact with us more frequently.
That was about social media in general and our status on it.
My inItial focus was to automate SMM calendar and reduce the cost.
But that’s of no use in absence of real customer connect.
So Now its more about
Developing
Customer Connect
By setting up
Lead Nurturing
&
CEM
In place
Which is an enterprise wide requirement
Establishing a Customer Engagement Model is of no use, if we cannot connect it with SALES.
In our business Sales is a function of :Floor Management
Inventory
Footfalls
In line with our theme of DOING MORE WITH LESS.
Lets focus on :Squeezing every possible value from these footfalls.
And develop a customer engagement & Lead nurturning model around it.
When I say squeezing value from foootalls.
I am talking about:
Which is a function of floor management and inventory
Which is a function of LN and CEM
This is what a sales funnel looks like in broader sense.
Wherein a prospect
Discovers
Considers
And converts
And then we try to retain.
Breaking it further for our business this funnel can be described as:Walk-ins Dropouts
Walk-ins Trials Dropouts
Walk-ins Trials Conversions
Currently What we do is
Announce Promos to the converted customers and
no other engagement is considered at any of the stage of customer/lead interaction with us.
And that’s where the leak us. That’s where the opportunity is to extract more value from these footfalls. I mean even non-billed.
If I may attach value to each walkin, then
Value of leakage =
The fixed cost of the store/ no. of walkins (non converted customer )is the value leaking and I am doing nothing about it.
So if I want to do something about this leaking value.
My Desired funnel should be of Engaging prospective customers at all stages of interaction with us.
Engagement model starts with collecting:
Lead contact info wherever possible.
Lets say for Walkins, we offer them
Join our 50000 happy customers and get priority preview to our new collection
[Mobile no. here]
- Chance to be a Model in our Fashion show
Chance to Win a gift vouchers
Chance to be our store model
All they need to do is drop in their number
For trials Lets say
We offer them TRY & TAG
We need to find lot of such wacky ideas or offerings
for walk ins to engage and
just like a Trading Calendar, we must be building a Engagement Calender
With the engagement starting point in place, we have a chance to nurture these Walk ins (non-converted) to culminate into:conversions or
Evangelist or
Both
Why focus on these channels.
Because “THE NATIONAL” published a survey on 30th Jan. 2017,
Where they say 96 per cent of Emiratis use WhatsApp
78 percent use Instagram
And just 58 percent use facebook
Once we connect with our customers, on there preferred channels ,
the SHOUT OUT is completely free unlike text messages and we also have the advantage of word of mouth.
