Social media in marketing

What is social media?
                          According to Wikipedia, social media refers to the use of web-
                          based and mobile technologies to turn communication into an
                          interactive dialogue. Social media are media for social inter-
                          action. In one word social media is all about sharing user-cre-
                          ated content.


                          It is quite hard to precisely define social media because it has
                          so many different forms, such as web forums, blogs, wikis, we-
                          blogs, video- and picture sharing sites, etc. According to Ka-
                          plan and Haenlein there are six different types of social media:
                          1) collaborative projects (e.g. Wikipedia);
                          2) blogs and microblogs (e.g. Twitter);
                          3) content communities (e.g. Youtube);
                          4) social networking sites (e.g. Facebook);
                          5) virtual game worlds (e.g. World of Warcraft);
                          6) virtual social worlds (e.g. Second Life).


Social media elements
                          According to Deragon and Bullock social media consists of 5
                          As: attention, attraction, affinity, audience, action. They are the
                          five steps has to be fulfilled step-by-step. At first one has to
                          earn attention to even get people looking at certain content.
                          When you earn their attention long enough then you create an
                          attraction. The earned attraction helps to form an affinity and if
                          you repeat the process to enough people, you create an audi-
                          ence. Once you have a large audience, a certain percent of
Assignment 2                                                                                      2
                            them will want to engage with you, your product or service,
                            and that is the beginning of action.


Main advantages and disadvantages in using social media in marketing
                            The main advantages of social media are relationships and con-
                            versations, connectivity, creativity, sharing, multiculturality,
                            democratisation of media through visibility and transparency.


                            The main disadvantages are informaton and social networking
                            overload, hard to find the best content, through anonymity is is
                            possile to generate hate, and often delivering the content is not
                            consistent.


What are the main principles in social media use in marketing?
                            Basic marketing principles still apply to social media; it is still
                            important to satisfy your client’s need that means you still have
                            to understand what your clients need. Your product has to also
                            deliver some kind of value for the client – it is getting more
                            and more popular providing an extra value for the client com-
                            munity through social media, for example shoe store (or brand)
                            Facebook page shares besides new news about its products also
                            valuable information about how to maintain your shoes and
                            keep them nice for the longer period to its community.


                            Social media can be used in several ways: reaching out for new
                            audience, engaging old audience, and of course many compa-
                            nies see the both sides in their social marketing plan – engaging
                            and winning. Social media helps companies to build a very
                            strong community marketing strategies, where the brand is not
                            the most important thing, but the communication between the
                            users of that brand, sharing experience and ideas.

  • 1. Assignment 2 1 Signe Kirt HAAGA-HELIA University of Applied Sciences MAR8LC067-2 18.09.2011 Social media in marketing What is social media? According to Wikipedia, social media refers to the use of web- based and mobile technologies to turn communication into an interactive dialogue. Social media are media for social inter- action. In one word social media is all about sharing user-cre- ated content. It is quite hard to precisely define social media because it has so many different forms, such as web forums, blogs, wikis, we- blogs, video- and picture sharing sites, etc. According to Ka- plan and Haenlein there are six different types of social media: 1) collaborative projects (e.g. Wikipedia); 2) blogs and microblogs (e.g. Twitter); 3) content communities (e.g. Youtube); 4) social networking sites (e.g. Facebook); 5) virtual game worlds (e.g. World of Warcraft); 6) virtual social worlds (e.g. Second Life). Social media elements According to Deragon and Bullock social media consists of 5 As: attention, attraction, affinity, audience, action. They are the five steps has to be fulfilled step-by-step.

The main disadvantages are informaton and social networking overload, hard to find the best content, through anonymity is is possile to generate hate, and often delivering the content is not consistent. What are the main principles in social media use in marketing? Basic marketing principles still apply to social media; it is still important to satisfy your client’s need that means you still have to understand what your clients need. Your product has to also deliver some kind of value for the client – it is getting more and more popular providing an extra value for the client com- munity through social media, for example shoe store (or brand) Facebook page shares besides new news about its products also valuable information about how to maintain your shoes and keep them nice for the longer period to its community. Social media can be used in several ways: reaching out for new audience, engaging old audience, and of course many compa- nies see the both sides in their social marketing plan – engaging and winning. Social media helps companies to build a very strong community marketing strategies, where the brand is not the most important thing, but the communication between the users of that brand, sharing experience and ideas.
