Social Media - A brief history

Where is social media going?
Love it or hate it, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, blogs and more, are increasingly being used for effectively reaching both internal and external audiences.
Like it or not, good and bad things are being said on Social Networks, Blogs and communities about companies, brands and products (you may be surprised about what is being said about you, your brands, ingredients and markets).
The question that you need to ask yourself is whether you want to observe and participate in the conversation, or choose to ignore it.

Where is social media going?
776,000,000 people participate conversational media Web 1.0 was the read-only webWeb 2.0 is the read-write webWeb 3.0 is the read-write-engage/execute web
What does this mean for Natural Products NZ and Natural Products companies?
This is an opportunity for Natural Products NZ to invest in social marketing activities to grow a community of brand evangelists and amplify marketing initiatives, i.e. have the online community help you get the word out about who you are, what you do, and what you have to sell

• Crowded with possibilities• Choose carefully

Why does it matter? Conversation is critical
• Highest level of credibility and purchase influence is from peers
• Second highest level of influence is from experts (i.e. bloggers)
• Listening will lead to innovation (e.g. MyStarbucks, Dell Idea Storm)
• Technology is accelerating participation in conversation (advanced devices, more software, more possibilities)
• Trust and motivation are increasingly the currency of influencers and less in the hands of the marketer

Where is social media going?Social media has rapidly evolved to become a member of an elite trio of interactive marketing tactics – “Email, Search and Social”. But we wanted to know how marketers ranked these tactics in importance to each other, and who they thought would emerge as the alpha dog of the pack moving forward.Do You Agree or Disagree That Social Media Will

Where is social media going?
• An increasing number of case studies and success stories are showing that B2B and B2C marketing cannot be successful today without a Social component
• Corporations are discovering the power of conversation and augmenting their strategies with more interactive and conversational elements, allowing B2B and B2C brands to listen, observe, engage, and participate
• And because more corporate clients are spending their time on Social Media channels, B2B brands have an opportunity to engage potential prospects and existing customers on the same mediums
![Page 37: 4 Corners NPNZ Presentation Update](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554ee57eb4c905911d8b4f30/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Where is social media going?
• ...the bottom line is that all marketing (whether B2C or B2B) targets Real People. Real People are social. They enjoy conversations and value authentic relationships. Those are what well-executed social media efforts deliver.
• “What b-to-b marketers, in particular, miss is that these conversations are going on without them. Just type in your company name on Twitter search and you'll be blown away—there are going to be comments about your company and issues being discussed you weren't even aware of.”
![Page 38: 4 Corners NPNZ Presentation Update](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554ee57eb4c905911d8b4f30/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
© 4 Corners Design 2009. www.4corners.com 38
Where is social media going?
• B2B and B2C buyers are still people, and in the end, they buy from people and not companies.
• If you can build a relationship with a prospective buyer using Twitter before they are actively looking, you built your brand more effectively than you could with much more expensive options. The trick is to know who to follow and who to focus on for that relationship-building.
• Twitter can put a human face on a large B2B organization
• Twitter has become more popular than LinkedIn among social network users in the United States.

Where is social media going?
• It is a myth that Facebook attracts only kids. The ideal age group for Facebook spans from 15 to 34, but 44% of 35- to 44-year-olds and 30% of 45- to-54-year-olds say they have profiles, too.
• The average user logs into a social network account about four times daily, five days a week, and spends about one hour per day on the network. About 31.8% are business users; followed by 26.3%, fun seekers; 21.8%, social media mavens; and 10.1%, leisure followers.

What does conversation do?

What does conversation do?
• Builds awareness, anticipation, and demand for current and future products
• Increases visibility among communities who influence their peers
• Expands communities with early news of upcoming products
• Generates interest with other retail partners/establishments
• Improves search engine rankings resulting from expanded web presence (“free media”)
![Page 42: 4 Corners NPNZ Presentation Update](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554ee57eb4c905911d8b4f30/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Why is ranking on the top of search results so critical?
• Eye tracking shows how focused peoples attention is to the first results on the first page
![Page 43: 4 Corners NPNZ Presentation Update](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554ee57eb4c905911d8b4f30/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Principles
• Add value Provide a space where a brand can help add value to a community.
Become the ultimate content resource.
• Audience participation Inviting the audience to participate in a conversation through their
own creative means. Allow consumers to take your brand message and feel an equity stake in it.
• Be a convergence point Destination for collection of content and media types. Create an
overarching experience that helps the audience engage, interact and define the future of their brands

QuestionsHow soon should one respond to a Tweet? As quickly as possible. Twitter moves really fast, and many people are following a lot of different users. You don't want them to get to the point where they forgot they even responded to you or asked you a question! The quicker you respond, the more on top of it you look, and the quicker that user will be to retweet your response, etc.
What should a damage control strategy be? How are companies using this to respond?Listen and respond! There is nothing worse than staying completely silent, since the conversation will continue whether you're a part of it or not. Be as transparent as possible and state accurate company policy/messages - the public will respond when you engage with them and show that you're making an effort to rectify a problem.
Can you see where people are from on Twitter?Yes - if a user chooses to broadcast this information. You can see it on their profile page.

QuestionsWho has ownership of ideas submitted to a company? The company needs to clearly define through the Terms and Conditions how ideas posted via social media channel or on a website can be used - using MyStarbucksIdea as an example, they clearly state in their Terms and Conditions that Starbucks has the right to use any idea submitted to the website or via Twitter, and that the submitter does not retain any ownership over that idea.
What strategy should a really small company take?Be very focused and decide what the most important goals and objectives are - focus on the social media tools and audiences that will really help with those focused objectives. Don't try to do everything! (I.e. using LinkedIn for lead generation, a YouTube channel if you have a lot of video content already, etc.)
