Digital Marketing cannot mend a broken
business
Just by having a digital strategy wont take away
your customer complaints: if anything, it will
only amplify your complaints
McDonald’s Failure @Social media experiment
• McDonalds launched a Twitter
campaign using the hashtag
#McDStories
• asked users to post nostalgic stories about
their experiences on Happy Meals
Social media campaigns always contain a
measure of risk
• Need to anticipate reaction from customers
• Need to prepare contingency plans
Why is Social media important for
businesses
• It finds you customers and builds clientele
• It gives businesses the ability to find out what people are saying
about them (and others) in their industries
• It builds your brand
• It provides a test audience (vs. focus groups)
• Solidifies your reputation as a valuable and knowledgeable resource
Social media has changed the way
marketing is done
• It’s a permission-based marketing
• Social media is like a collaborative
• Become a member, ask questions, give answers,
add value to the community, ask & answer
questions
• Plus, no boundaries of time & space
