How Social Business Enables Better Marketing

One item, which isn’t talked about much, is how social business can enable better marketing. Here are a few examples of how this works.

Real Time Marketing:  A social business (via collaboration, knowledge sharing, process creation and governance) can enable marketing to create content that matters – relevant content (the right content, at the right time, in the right channel, to the right customer).

Real Time Monitoring: Real time monitoring can ensure that the organization is front and center in the conversation – handling/escalating support issues, intercepting sales related conversations or general community engagement.

Marketing Analytics: A collaborative analytics framework will ensure everyone in the organization is measuring social consistently and will enable marketers to shift and iterate their content strategy based on real time data; and of course give the CMO what he/she wants, when he/she wants it.

The Path From Social Brand to Social Business

We’re already approaching the first of many crossroads that new media will present. Do we take the path of a social brand or that of a social business?

A social brand is just that, a business that is remodeling or retrofitting its existing marketing practices to new media.

A social business is something altogether different as it embraces introspection and extrospection to reevaluate internal and external processes, systems, and opportunities to transform into a living, breathing entity that adapts to market conditions and opportunities.

The CMO Survey, recently published a report that gave credence to the fact that social media is taking off. One profound takeaway was; “The “like button” [in Facebook] packs more customer-acquisition punch than other demand-generating activities.”

3 Twitter Advertising Best Practices

GraphEffect released a new whitepaper that helps brands understand and use the Twitter ad platform. They offer a set of best practices for twitter advertising.

1.  Scale your efforts  

Not all Twitter ads are necessarily optimal for all brands. The “Promoted Tweet” ad type is more cost-efficient for smaller budgets. GraphEffect suggests it’s a good way for smaller brands to spread awareness. Start there, and encourage followers to retweet these Tweets. Later, if it makes sense, you can scale up to more expensive ad types like the “Promoted Brand.”

2.  Keep your content fresh

Don’t load the Twitter scape with the same Tweet over and over again.

3.  Broadly target

With each channel, using specific keywords to attract the right targets are essential to a campaign’s success, things work differently on Twitter.

Studies Have found:

- The average return on social engagement was calculated to be between 3-5%.

- The top two areas where executives thought social engagement had real value were  improved marketing and sales effectiveness (84%) and increased sales and market share (81%)
