Social MediaTopshop loves social media

It’s a beautiful thing to be able to interact with customers and to listen to their opinions about the brand and products, advertise to the targeted audience for nearly nothing but have a chance to build up brand around a more intimate customer experience.Topshop is using social media in the right way during these years. The main target group of Topshop is young people and people who love fashion, especially British style. They have their own facebook page, twitter account. And they actively post all kinds of promotions and new collections in a very fashionable and attractive way. Topshop on Youtube, they post make up tutorials about new make up, dressing style. Those videos show how to make simple and beautiful looks with products from Top-shop and provide the customers more information about how to use their products. Topshop send newsletters regularly to inform customers about the latest collection, sales, trends and fashion tips. Personally, I like this brand a lot, since Topshop is tak-ing care of their target group and know what exactly the target groups want. There are so many things we could learn from Topshop to make the brand more vividly with customers and satisfied the needs and wants of customers.

Cheap Monday wins worst social media usage award.

It’s not often that such a large and loved brand fails to embrace the business end of social media. Enter Cheap Monday. Their website appears to support Twitter, Facebook, Deli-cious and StumbleUpon, but only two of those four link you through to a proper function. When you click on Twitter, you are not brought to a Cheap Monday Twitter handle, but are brought to a Twitter page where a Cheap Monday tweet is pre-written in your feed. Cheap Monday is an excellent brand with pieces we want and price points we can actually afford; it is pity that the company is so behind on the social media trend.

CrossmediaRedbull use well of Crossmedia. Redbull is an energy drink. And we can find it anywhere around the world.

The truth is that Redbull build up its world with culture and experiences by all the different kinds of storytelling through all the media channels.

Red Bull: Art of Can

Community BuildingRunning a community around my brand is essential for companies who want to keep good contacts with customers and get involved in the online conversation with all the people. Basically, it will start work with find my target group through existing social media like Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube to get contacts with all the customers.

There are three ways might be good to hold a community successfully. 1. Customer focusA community is all about individuals and their thinking and ideas should be taken care of. As a community who is responsible to run a community, he needs to listen what the customers is talking about, what they want. And of course, try to inform all the members though different social medial channels. It is important to let all the members and customers know where you are, who you are and what do you do. 2. Brand reputation The main reason to keep all the members stay in the community and attract more people is to create the brand reputation. We should hold regularly small prize for the members to encourage them continually to stay in the community and use word of mouth to spread the community by all the members who had good experience within the community and also the brand fans who always accept the brand to help to pro-mote it. 3. Traffic Internet brings a lot of traffic. In order to have as much traffic as the community can, we should keep promote the community actively. And also, use the traditional com-munication media channels like Facebook, twitter, blog and any other forms to in-form all the customers about the community.

The good example of community could be Tripadvisor. TripAdvisor.com is the world’s largest travel site that assists customers in gathering travel information, post-ing reviews and opinions of travel related content and engaging in interactive travel forums. The website services are free to users, who provide most of the content. This is available for different countries and languages. They have an interesting slogan ‘get the truth, then go’ that shows us clearly that the high trustiness and reputation they have. Since this website is made by the travels who shares their own experi-ences. All the commands on the website are made by the normal people around the world; this is a big reason that more and more people like to read the commands from previous visitors who are not for adverting or any economic use, purely for per-sonal use. Now, Tripadvisor have its apps available for smart phones and also Ipad.

Creative Amsterdam 11-13 May!

I was so gald that I had chance to go to creative Amsterdam this year. Cre-ative Amsterdam is an three days event of creative industry with creative com-panies and individuals. It is a very good opportunity for all the creative people to share experience and exchange ideas.

I think I have learned a lot during the event and I met a lot of amazing people from creative industry. I joined few lectures. The speekers are from different working area in creative industry. Such as Photographer Pieter Henket who was photographer of the most famouse singer Lady Gaga and he achived a big success in NEW YORK. He showed us some works he did and shared his experience with creative industry and how he built up his working career. During the Animation lecture, the speaker worked with the film Ice Age 1-3 and Despicable Me which are my favorite films. I even watched the the clip he made which did not show in the movie. And I also met Duncan Stutterheim who is one of the founder of my dream company ID&T.

All in all, this event is great and I really loved it! Hope you also had same feel-ing. If u still wanna to know more about it, please check their website.
