Creating engagement in B2B

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Social networking is the most significant business development of 2010, topping the resurgence of the U.S. automobile industry. During the year, social networking morphed from a personal communications tool for young people into a new vehicle that business leaders are using to transform communications with their employees and customers as it shifts from one-way transmission of information to two-way interaction” (George 2010)Both B2B and B2C
  2. Deep collaboration and 2-way communication underpins service dominant logic (Lusch and Vargo and Lusch)
  3. Kozinets et al 2010Wisteria – 30% increase in conversion by targeted lead gen based on online behaviors and information revealed when they communicate online.
  4. Rather than broadcasting marketing messages to an increasingly indifferent, even resentful, audience, marketers must build engagement with consumers. Rather than talking at customers, marketers should talk with them; celebrate them (Lusch, 2011).commercial friendships than arms-length transactions (Price and Arnould, 1999). Consumer-generated content, loss of control, authenticity, and community reflect this new paradigm where consumer engagement is de rigour (Schau, Muniz, and Arnould, 2009).firms must find voice as an authentic member of the community to skillfully guide conversations toward organizational goals rather than dictating the conversation (Bernoff and Li, 2008).
  5. what is engagement in social networks; 2) why is engagement necessary to promote commercial interests in social networks 3) what actions encourage consumers to engage with commercial firms in social spaces; and 4) how should firms manage engagement in social spaces to optimize outcomes. Differences between social media, social networks, communities of consumption, traditional mediaKaplan and Haenlein (2010, p. 59) define social media as “a group in Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user generated content”. Without effective involvement of users in creating and sharing its message, a firm fails to achieve the amplification necessary for effective message transmission. social media transforms B2C relationships into C2B relationships that better reflect the reality that consumers now control the relationship,
  6. Combine marketing, PR, customer service, advertising, and market research (Branson, Virgin)companies serve up a ‘marketing ball’ (brands and brand building messages) into a cacophonous environment, which is diverted and often accelerated by new media ‘bumpers’ that change the offering’s course in chaotic ways,” (Hennig-Thurau et al., 2010, p. 312). Companies respond with their own “bumpers” designed to reinforce the original brand meaning and achieve organizational goals. Missing from this metaphor, however, is acceptance that a social network does not need the firm for this pinball game, unlike in traditional media, and the firm is simply another voice in the milieu (Hoffman and Fodor 2010). social media reaches organizational goals by employing “creative and communications marketing aspects to enliven ideas, unite communities, and amplify stories” (Solis 2010). more satisfied with retailers’ Facebook pages than with the retailer’s websites (Freed, 2011).
  7. Too many think if they learn the tools and technology they got it covered. They couldn’t be further from the truth. The most important aspect of social media is to understand the art, the environment and how you can fit in. It doesn’t work like the days of traditional advertising where you push a message and expect to change thought via a cool ad, billboard or tv commercial. Instead you must not only find a way to become part of the community, build your own community, but also be able to successfully grab the attention of your audiences authentically and via relationships. Firms lack the understanding that social media requires engagement. They may have the mindset that they’ll simply use social media as an additional venue for blasting noise, coupons and other commercial messages. http://socialmediatoday.com/pammoore/258004/2011-predictions-top-12-reasons-
  8. Concern for customer is part of their dnaCommercial friendships (Price, Arnould) sharing, reciprocity, listening, empathy, trust, collaboration
  9. My daily task was to write blog entries, provide quality content, analyze google analytics and update our twitter and facebook accounts. When you combine all the things I did, here are the results: - more unique visitors to sites - more time spent on sites - more leads generated for sales team - more positive content on google and search engines - significant increase of google indexing. - online brand creation augmented. users share their registration for business training events, purchase of business tools, and other business-related purchases through sharing tools appended to sales pages on websites. Enhancing this opportunity, Facebook recently introduced a new social shopping feature –Buy With Friends -- allowing users to share purchases in their Facebook news feed, thereby alerting friends in the social network to the opportunity. Such sharing encourages purchase by friends. But sharing isn’t the only interesting aspect of Buy With Friends — the feature will also let one user unlock a deal, making it available to their friends (Chiang, 2011)
