Editor's Notes
- Traditional marketing: Product, price it, place in market, promote it. Social media marketing: Filtering, aggregating, & delivering content, in a context that helps people make connections w/people, products, & brands they can build a community around.
- There are many companies who are doing social media the right way.
- Starbucks created a website that asks customers for their input; and encourages them to vote on others’ ideas. They also post status updates on current ideas that are being implemented.
- IBM allows its employees to blog about what they are currently doing in their jobs, which offers the audience a peek behind the scenes, and a direct connection with its employees.
- Comcast searches for customer complaints on Twitter, and addresses each complaint, one by one.
- Comcast: Here you can see where Bill Gerth, the customer service agent is trying to help a customer.
- Blendtec uses video to demonstrate how their product works.
- Accenture publishes free downloadable podcasts on a multitude of topics for various industries.
- Their fans communicate and interact with each other. Contests allow the community to create additional exposure for the brand across its members’ social networks.
