This document discusses why social media is important for businesses. It notes that most business buyers now use social media to research companies and make purchasing decisions. The document recommends that businesses establish a presence on major social media sites like LinkedIn, YouTube, and SlideShare to share relevant content with prospects before soliciting their contact information. It also advises setting up alerts to monitor what is being said about the company online in order to both capitalize on positive mentions and address any negative comments. The overall message is that social media has become essential for businesses to build their brand, generate awareness, and develop leads through engaging with prospects across online channels.
Oracle recently acquired Vitrue for $300 million and Salesforce.com acquired Buddy Media for $800 million. These acquisitions address the first phases of integrating social media into enterprises by allowing outbound social media campaigns. However, they still lack the ability to analyze social data and integrate it into existing customer applications. Buzzient addresses this need by providing social media integration and analytics capabilities to complement the acquired companies' outbound social marketing functions. The author predicts continued acquisition activity in this area along with the emergence of independent social media integration providers and an expansion of social CRM to other business applications and platforms.
IBM has embraced social media and empowered its employees to actively engage online. It recognized that effective communication in the digital age happens through all employees, not just a communications department.

The document discusses social media strategies and objectives. It emphasizes that social media is about people, not clicks. Possible social media objectives include increasing brand equity, customer relations, PR, campaigns, customer satisfaction, and brand advocates. Measurable objectives could include numbers of videos, pictures, posts, comments, tweets, followers, and incoming links. The document provides a three-step model for social media initiatives: attract traffic, activate visitors, and engage users in conversations. It also discusses listening to conversations, engaging respectfully, and taking action such as social news marketing or blogger outreach.
This document provides an executive summary of research conducted by the IBM Institute for Business Value on customer engagement through social media. The research found that while consumers are embracing social media, most do not see it as a way to connect with brands and companies. Instead, customers are pragmatic and want tangible value in exchange for their attention and data on social platforms. The report also uncovered gaps between what businesses think customers want from social interactions and what customers actually report. Overall, the research highlights that businesses need to design social media experiences focused on delivering value to customers, rather than assuming customers want to engage to feel connected to brands.
In an interview from the summer 2011 edition of "sparks," from Catalyst Strategies, LiveWorld CEO Peter Friedman explains how "social media is transforming interactions and brands through dialogue and relationships."

Does social media works for sme article gregory bolle bpg maxus dubaiMajidHaider
This article discusses whether social media marketing works for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It argues that social media can be effective for SMEs if used properly, with a focus on consistency, relationship-building, and setting measurable goals. The key steps are to choose the right social media platforms based on your audience and objectives, integrate both online and offline strategies, and measure return on insights and engagement rather than purely focusing on metrics like followers. If SMEs view social media as a strategic asset rather than just a sales channel, they can develop customers and gain competitive advantages through enriched conversations and insights.

IBM is moving itself and its clients well beyond Social Media into a new era of collaboration, insight sharing, and lead generation it calls Social Business. One of the notions behind becoming a Social Business is that your employees should be front and centre in your digital activities. Since IBM no longer sells consumer products the brand experience for IBM is an experience with an IBMer. An experience that is increasingly happening online.

A case presented by Ronald Velten and Andrada Morar @ Social Media In Praktijk, Maarssen, 27th Otober 2011
The document discusses how Boston has historically been a leader in transitioning consumer technologies into enterprises but may be missing out on the latest wave of social media integration. The author notes the growth of social enterprises like Jive and Yammer that have found more success being based in Silicon Valley. While Boston companies and investors were once at the forefront of these shifts, like bringing PCs and the internet into businesses, the rise of billion-dollar social media companies like Facebook occurred outside of Boston's sphere of influence. The author questions whether Boston has "missed the boat" on fully capitalizing on the consumerization of information technology through social platforms.
Social CRM: How Companies Can Link into the Social Web of ConsumersFlorian Gröne
Social networking and other new technologies have given rise to the “social consumer.” Navigating this new world requires a new way of approaching customer relationship management, commonly called social CRM. In addition to their traditional CRM tools and processes, companies must rethink their product, channel, and customer strategies in order to build an entirely new relationship with their customers through greater transparency.
It's the end of 2010, and a majority of companies have ventured into social media as a publishing channel. Yet many aren't seeing the results they'd hoped for. That's because of the approach.
This whitepaper explores the concept of Engagement, Influence and Activation as end goals to corporate social media, not as a publishing channel but as a way to better connect, share and interact with your markets.

From Social Media To Social Crm 2 Reinventing The Customer RelationshipFriedel Jonker
Most companies have embraced social media and see it fundamentally changing how they do business. However, many are still in the early stages of social engagement and are not fully exploiting its benefits. While most have elements of a social media program, few have implemented a fully integrated Social CRM strategy with executive sponsorship, cross-functional governance, and processes for sharing customer insights. Companies face challenges in measuring ROI from social media efforts and mitigating risks, with only about a third effectively analyzing social data or monitoring their brand. Moving from isolated projects to comprehensive Social CRM strategies will be required to truly leverage social media's potential for customer relationships.
1) Social media is shifting communication from broadcast to bidirectional and communities will create 25% of content.
2) By 2012, companies are predicted to spend more on word-of-mouth ("conversational media") than traditional media.
3) To succeed, brands must start by asking "what can my brand do for social media communities?" rather than what communities can do for the brand. Providing value to communities will be the new cost of distribution.

Tony Gattari discusses whether social media marketing provides a return on investment (ROI) for businesses. While social media platforms continue growing rapidly, it remains difficult for businesses to effectively measure the ROI of their social media spending. To evaluate ROI, businesses need to track specific user actions like website visits or coupon use that can be linked to sales results and compared to the social media marketing budget. Additionally, some argue social media should be viewed as a long-term brand building opportunity rather than expecting immediate ROI, though this may be hard to measure. Ultimately, whether social media is an opportunity or burden for businesses depends on their willingness to experiment with different approaches.
The document discusses IBM's Lotusphere 2012 conference. Some key details:

- Analysts and commenters spoke positively about the promise of social technologies and the conference's focus on social business practices and solutions beyond traditional Lotus products.

3) For external use, Twitter focuses on sharing news and extending customer reach, while internally it focuses on information sharing and networking. Looking ahead, organizations want to use Twitter more for immediate customer contact.

Sempre più consumatori si convincono ad acquistare un prodotto o un servizio piuttosto che un altro a seguito di recensioni o giudizi rinvenuti on line : ma , come ci riportano notizie anche recenti di cronaca , tali giudizi potrebbero essere non veritieri , denigratori o “ acquistati “ da aziende interessate . In questo mio articolo , pubblicato sul numero di ottobre 2013 della rivista di settore “ Market Place “ , sono esaminati i profili di responsabilità di chi mette in atto queste pratiche illegali e la concreta possibilità di perseguirle .

The document discusses the four essentials of great website design: aesthetically beautiful design, optimization for the user, personalization and context, and optimization for mobile. It covers how website design has evolved from static billboards to interactive platforms. Great design focuses on the user experience by using visual elements, colors, and layouts to convey the brand's personality and goals. Websites should explain their value proposition and be optimized for usability through principles like passing a "blink test" and establishing a logical thought process for users.
