Social Media for Business
     Emily Sandford
The Business Case
             • US Internet users
               spend 3X more time
               on blogs and social
               media than on email
             • 43% of all online
               consumers are social
               media fans or
               followers
             • 81% of consumers
               receive product
               purchasing advice
               from friends and
               family on social media
             • 63% of companies say
               using social media
               has increased
The Steps
A: Set Objectives
  The MDA: Most Desired Action

B: Integrate into communications plan

C: Tactical planning and execution

D: Monitoring
A. Set Objectives
Before jumping into the social media
waters, really think about WHY you
want to use social media:
• Build customer
  communities
• Drive website traffic
• Provide customer service
• Share company news
• All of the above?
B: Integrate Into Plan
• How does social media support the
  existing plan?
• What objectives or portions of other
  marketing elements can social media:
  – Enhance
  – Reinforce
  – Replace
  – Support
C. Tactical Planning and Execution

              • Who: Who is responsible
                for posting and for
                oversight?
              • What: What content is
                being posted?
              • When: When do you plan
                on
                posting, monitoring, and
                responding?
              • Where: Where will you
                post content (which
                networks)
              • Why: Why are you doing
                it?
              • How: How are you going
Cautionary Tale
About policies…
 Fear of policy enforcement is the #1
factor that stops business blogs and
 social media programs before they
                 start!

C. Tactical Planning and Execution

• Companies don’t post on social
  media, humans do.
• Conversational
• Passion and authority
• Transparency
• Frequency (don’t be the one who
  disappears)
But what do I write?
•   Intention
•   Customer education (without selling)
•   Skip the marketing fluff
•   Product/Service applications
•   Any real-time news
•   FAQs
•   No ideas? Ask employees
    and customers
Promotion
• If you build it, will they come?
• Refer to target audience to set
  promotion strategy
• Get employees involved
• Make content visible on existing
  channels
D: Monitoring
•   Standard web metrics – overall
•   Web metrics – blog content
•   Content analysis
•   Social mentions
•   Feed subscribers
•   Lead tracking
•   Comments
Monitoring: Google Analytics
Monitoring: Other specialty
tools
