introduction to social media
![Page 5: LDD Summer Seminar 2013 - Social media is no longer a choice but a necessity](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5441936eb1af9ff34b8b476c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
what is social media?
Social media refers to the means of interactions
among people in which they create, share, and
exchange information and ideas in virtual
communities and networks.

why should youuse social media?
Social is too big to be ignored
“We believe social media is about changing our business culture, the ways we work and the ways we engage with our colleagues and customers. It is about creating businesses that have social in their DNA”.
“It is about realising that everything, including our marketing, now happens in an environment where customers can, and will, talk about what we do and can share it with the world.”
“With or without you, your customers will discuss their experiences online – don’t leave their comments up to chance. Give them a place where they can praise or abuse you, where you can engage and manage the conversation.”

Social has disrupted the traditional sales funnel
On the old model, companies were solely focused on achieving a sale and that’s where customer interaction used to end… retention and advocacy were by-products rather than the aim.
Social is not a direct response medium so don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t happen overnight.
It’s now about going the extra mile, and caring about the people you do business with.

5 key take outs
• Everyone is using social media
• People are talking about your brand, with or without your involvement.
• The social platforms may change but the concept is here to stay
• Start with a strategy and a focus, avoid jumping in solely with tactical ambitions.
• Don’t expect the world to change overnight – like good ol’ fashioned networking, you need to invest time and effort to make your campaign work

Why outsourcing isn’t the answer…• You understand your business better than anyone• Need to be “always-on” with a finger on the pulse• Real-time responses required• Expert opinion required• Faking it is not allowed – genuine interaction with the
brand expected …but a little agency assistance wouldn’t
hurt• Strategy• Training• Direction and support
maximise implementation impact
