PassivesFor the vast majority of brand pages, passive are the most common brand fans.
These fans are unlikely to participate on discussion threads or share branded content for a variety of reasons:
Infrequent users: half of Facebook users don’t log into the network everyday.
Online and annoyed: ask fans that have recently left a brand community why they “un-friended” a page and the number one reason…too many irrelevant updates.
PassivesBoring or intrusive brands risk a common behavior among passives…
HOUSEKEEPING.
Passives
Tips for Engaging…
Look at historical spikes in fan count to isolate periods when Passives joined the page. Identify the sort of engagement that occurred at that time (e.g. contest, new product launch) and revisit that content to re-engage.
FanaticsThese brand enthusiasts epitomize what it means to be a “Fan.” They talk about the brand outside of Facebook and are likely owners of products and services related to a community.
FanaticsThere are more than you may think: 49% of Facebook users would “certainly” recommend a brand to a friend, that same groups is responsible for as much as 75% of reposts.

FanaticsTips for Engaging…
Fanatics are the most likely to vote in polls so use Facebook’s Poll feature to test our new products and get insight from your most passionate fans.
Rely on Fanatics to help shoulder the responsibility of responding and policing the community.
These fans are on the hunt for promotional campaigns on the social web.
40% of all Facebook Fans say the number one reason
they’ve joined a page is to receive deals or promotions.

Dealer SeekersTips for Engaging…
Strike a balance by creating a regular schedule for deal & pricing related updates so this audience segment can plan to tune in at certain times.
Consider using polls to crowd-source pricing information.
Warning: balance the needs of this group with those of the Passives who may leave the community if there are too many promotional updates.
Social Badgers
These fans follow brands as a method of personal branding, called social-badging.
This is most prevalent on Facebook - almost 40% of fans join primarily to publicly display brand affiliations to friends.
Perhaps to appear more intellectual, off-beat, in-the-know, etc.
The number drops to 23% on Twitter, where follows are less prominent on a profile

Social Badgers
ForbesBrooks BrothersGoldman Sachs
This is an entire identity right here in the Brand Pages
Social BadgersTips for Engaging…
Social Badgers are the fans most in tune to the brand personality, values and ideals. Ensure the info page provides a good description of what the brand stands for. Warning: Swings in brand positioning from one campaign to another risk losing the inherent value in “social badging”
Opportunity: Virality: exposure and access to friends
Detractors come in many forms. Brand fans upset and reacting to a bad brand experience. Brand loiters who stick around long enough to post negative comments for the sake of getting a reaction. Either way, they will be heard. And sometimes, joined.
Detractors
Tips for Engaging…
• Develop community management strategy before engaging
• Rely on professional community managers, not junior level staffers.
• Plan for detractors and develop respond protocol in advance

It’s a fundamental shift in the way we behaveand communicate.
Social Networking Is Not A Fad
As a result of the growth, brands have shifted from influencer only programs to social “grassroots” models:

Assign Conversation Managers to respond to fans and execute against the Conversation Calendar
Use a “Conversation Calendar” to plan social network engagement across campaigns
As the community grows, social networks need a tool to assign tasks, track analytics and asses the ROI
Move beyond fan count metrics and asses positive sentiment, engagement levels, and time spent with branded content
