HOW CAN YOU CREATE VALUE
FROM FACEBOOK FANS?
Social Insight Connect is the first Facebook
application offering a new way to interact with,
understand and activate consumers.
2. ...there is no intrinsic value to a Facebook fan. … It is what companies
do with fans that creates value, not merely that a brand has fans.«
Augie Ray, Forrester Research Inc.
(forrester blog, what is the value of a facebook fan? zero!, july 8, 2010)
Having an authentic and engaging voice in social media is criti-
cal for most every organization these days. One of the first steps is
creating a Facebook page where consumers can go for information,
post their thoughts, and even “like” you, thereby becoming a fan.
But even for brands that have several thousands of fans, many
questions remain unanswered:
» Who are our Facebook fans?
» How do they compare with our target customer base?
» How can we interact with them to create value?
» How can we build sustainable, symbiotic relationships
with our fans?

research teams have a private channel with consumers directly within
their fan page. Going far beyond quick polls, they can find out the
attributes, actions and attitudes of this at-the-ready audience. Fans par-

More than social media monitoring: interaction
Instead of passively monitoring digital behavior and projected senti-
ment, Social Insight Connect provides a new way to interact with fans to
both understand and activate consumers.
An array of valuable feedback and interaction tools are available for co-
creation and ideation, concept testing, usage and attitude research, and
viral marketing. What’s more, it’s private. Access is controlled through a
Facebook application.

Social Insight Connect: like an exclusive club for fans
All (or selected) fans that install the app and agree to take part receive privileged access to an exclusive
area where they become more engaged with the brand and participate in activities that inform future
interactions and decisions.
What’s in it for the fans? Insider access. Social Insight Connect creates a “VIP Club” within a Facebook
page, where simple recognition is sometimes the best motivator.

Activating consumers
Social Insight Connect also helps brands activate consumers to help shape new products and marketing
campaigns, or even spark viral marketing activities and move product. Targeting specific individuals or
groups with activities that match their interests and abilities is critical to building mutually-beneficial
consumer relationships.
Typical groups may include ADVISORS: creative and critical fans, ideal for product innovation work-
shops; and ADVOCATES: especially enthusiastic and influential fans, who can be enabled to share
their joy.
