    Tool
     Paul Webster (Twitter : @watfordgap)


                           10th May 2012
Good Morning and House
Keeping
“Social Media. They get all excited about gleaming technology
and clever gizmos. They talk in acronyms and begin sentences
with: “Did you know you can..” The rest of us just want to get on
with campaigning, fundraising or service delivery. We want to talk
about the people we work with, the communities we’re in and
the issues we’re passionate about. We want to find and talk to
people who can help us get change, deliver services or make a
difference”.
 Well, Social Media is about all that, telling stories and having
conversations, having a space to do that … it just happens that the
space is on a computer.
(From ‘How to use New Media’ - Media Trust).

  why its important

Finding Out – Networking and Communications
Lets play a game!
It’s about conversations…..
What is Social Media and why is it relevant
Old media - Web 1.0 . . .


                            . . static
                            websites
                            with no
                            interaction,
                            text heavy
                            content.
                            Information
                            just fed TO
                            visitors

                             (Others – if you dare!)
New media - Web 2.0 ...
. . media rich, interactive, content served based on preferences,
open for comments, conversations WITH visitors encouraged.

Are you on Social Media?
  No?                                   Probably – Yes!

     Have you checked?!
     How are you being represented? What are
     people already saying?
Are you using Social Media?
  Does your organisation have a website … that is interactive?
  Have you got a blog?
  Do you use YouTube or Flickr?
  Are you on Facebook?
  Do you Tweet?
  Do you use web tools to improve organisational efficiency?
So, What is Social Media?
Social Networking – the numbers
• Of all the websites visited in UK, 2 are Social
  Networks - Google (9.5%), Facebook (6.6%),
  YouTube (3.5%), ebay (1.9%), WinMail (1.4%).
  Google = 91% of search traffic. (HitWise – Feb 2012)

• 96% of aged 18-35 on one or more network

• Of the 48.6 million adult population (ONS),
  77% have a Facebook profile, 66% are
  YouTube users, 32% are on Twitter and 16%
  have a presence on LinkedIn. (Umph Sept 2011 –
   sample of 2,400 adults)

• 50% of Facebook users view their page daily
  and (February 2012)

• YouTube 2nd most popular way to search for
  content. 48hrs is uploaded every minute

• One to watch? Pinterest visits up from 50k to
  over 300k in 1 month. (Nov 2011 Comscore)
Social Networking – the numbers
 • Average social network user is aged 37

 • LinkedIn it's 44, Twitter 39, Facebook 38 &
   Bebo 28 (typical user younger)

 • 52% of Facebook users are 18 to 34 yrs

   all users are over 45 and internet users over
   65 say they are confident using social media

   at least once a day (June 2011)

 • 30% check their status as soon as they wake
   up, 81% never turn their phone off (Aug 2011)

 So, its not a passing phase, but it is
   important that organisations direct their
   marketing effort to the right network(s)
                                         http://bigbible.org.uk/2011/12/social-media-infographic/#.Tt6yloSrmSo

Inclusion – Voluntary Sector audience
•   Social networking shouldn't replace face to face communication

    find what they want online & then stay online.

How can social media help Marketing activity?
•   Increases speed of communication – no faster way to
    (Action)  spread marketing messages than through social
              networking. Less of a financial cost but ‘expense’ may
              be the time
•   Widens          message to people/groups that would normally
    (Awareness)     be missed using more traditional methods – ‘viral’
                    marketing campaigns hugely powerful creating
                    awareness extremely efficiently
•   Deepens         to build new and different networks –
    (Fundraising)   communities of interest to bounce ideas off and
                    share experiences, increase commitment and
                    fundraising for campaigning activity. Show
                    understanding and start some conversations!

Do you already have a website that you can update yourself?
   – Can be as simple as Google Site, Flavors, Weebly or Wordpress
   – Internet presence is now your main shop window
Have you got the time?
Are you ready and prepared for change & to release some control?!
Objectives – what do you want to achieve



    People and needs first, then tools



                  <Guide – Page 6 – Benefits Q1 and Q2>
Which Tools?
       Share how are you marketing what you do now
  What is your cause or campaign? What are you promoting?
          What are the issues and challenges you face?
                      What is holding you back?


   Which tools & methods of communication are you using?
            Face to Face, Print, E-mail … Why these?
         What are their limitations? Which are effective?
         How much do they cost? Which is best value?

  Average channel transaction cost (PWC – 2009 Local Authority to Citizen)
        Post       Face to Face       Telephone          Online
        £12.10     £10.53              £3.39              £0.08
Audience – Who are they? – Where are they?



     If you build it, they won’t come



                  <Guide – Page 7 – Is it suitable? Question 2>
Start conversation – but don't try to move everyone
It can be difficult to get     It’s easier to go where
people to come to you          people are already




Do you know who your target audience are?
Are they already using social media sites (and which ones)?

Microblogging – Twitter - Commoncraft Video explaining Twitter
Important to market your organisation and make profile 'followable'
- DO add Pictures (logo, background, recent images), Place, Profile and Page
- DON'T leave these blank or over-sell and push advertising

A small network of quality followers can often be result in better quality on-line
conversations and discussions than a large network of followers who never have
conversations or share ideas and knowledge.

Strategy - pick a plan with a path that fits


      We're here. We want to be there.
       Developing the plan to get there.

<Guide – Pages 8,9,10   Pick a goal or campaign to pursue

- Steps 1 and 2>        how much
                        Consider responsible use (Appendix 2)
It's Social media, not Selling media!
• Attracting people to your online space should be an essential part of
  your communications strategy. Not forcing them.
  Visitors inspired by what you do are more likely to become followers.
• Message - clear and unambiguous, your web site is your shop
  window, the 1st public face supporters and potential donors see
  Tell stories – an authentic picture of what you are trying to do
  Make the Call To Action as plain to see and unambiguous on a social
             network as you would in printed copy.
• Tone and Context – get this right and match for your audience
• Engage in frequent updates & blogs to keep donors informed and
  involved in what you are doing
• Conversations with supporters, build relationships and give them
  space to say why they care … and Thank them.
• Include your website and social networks on all communications
Which Tools?
     In pairs share how you could promote your cause
            Think back to your cause or campaign?


  Can you write down your key message in 140 characters,
                what hooks would you use?
Could you blog about it? Make a video? Find a beneficiary to
 record an audio interview with? Make you website social?


How would you interest people
in what you are promoting?
Pitch it!
Implement - match right social networking tool

Have you got a marketing social networking plan?

Consistency across all platforms and tied in          your organisation

Scanning & responding to current trends,

Share and be helpful, raises your profile for the
right reasons. Be a “content creator” and give
back to the community.
Keep supporters informed of your news and
events.
Remember what you say is immediate - what

takes seconds!
Be Helpful – Be Generous - Say Thank You -          Common Craft
Share and you’ll be amazed what you get back!       What is Social Media Video
10 Things you may be doing wrong
1. Not integrating social media with your offline communications mix.
2. Not integrating social media with your website.
3. Not thinking about the correct channel channel you’re using.
4. Posting inconsistently or infrequently.
5. It’s all about you—and you’re not very interesting! Human Interest
6. Making it “antisocial” anti-conversational media. Say Thank You.
7. Posts are disconnected from your mission. Be consistent.
8. Not respecting people’s privacy.
9. Continuing to do things that aren’t working.
10. Not using Common Sense!
(from http://www.idealware.org/articles/10-things-youre-doing-wrong-social-media)
• Don’t worry it’s not finished
    – A half formed blog post can be more inspiring and            Some concerns?
      create a bigger conversation
• Don’t pretend to be someone you aren’t                           Don't Give Up!
    – About individuals not corporate views. Your voice may
      be weakened if you ‘spin’... and others see through it!
• Don't be concerned about 'losing control' of message.
    – if it is respected, social media networks will support it,
      always aim to counter negatives views with positives
• Don’t worry you are in a vacuum.
    – link & connect, soon people will do the same back
    – Ration 90 : 9 : 1 (Read, Reply, wRite)
• Don’t measure success by numbers
    – if you’re reaching the right people it’s quality not
      quantity that counts
• Don’t ignore people – they invest time reading what you say      (http://podnosh.com/social-media-
  so do the same for them                                          help/what-makes-the-web-social/)
Summary

Objectives – What do you want to do?

Audience – Who are they? Where are they?

Strategy – Pick a guided plan with a path that fits

Implement - Match to right social networking tool

Sustain – Engage & converse, monitor & revise

  have an internal policy for using it.
• Know your target audience and go to the spaces where they are.
• Know your message - make it clear and directed.
• Think of how it applies to Marketing, Fundraising, Productivity,
  Communications .... and whatever else you do.
• Implement, monitor and adjust – and remember it takes time!

Social Media Marketing

  • 1. Social Media as a Marketing Tool Paul Webster (Twitter : @watfordgap) 10th May 2012
  • 2. Good Morning and House Keeping
  • 3. “Social Media. They get all excited about gleaming technology and clever gizmos. They talk in acronyms and begin sentences with: “Did you know you can..” The rest of us just want to get on with campaigning, fundraising or service delivery. We want to talk about the people we work with, the communities we’re in and the issues we’re passionate about. We want to find and talk to people who can help us get change, deliver services or make a difference”. Well, Social Media is about all that, telling stories and having conversations, having a space to do that … it just happens that the space is on a computer. (From ‘How to use New Media’ - Media Trust).
  • 4. What we are going to do today • Find out what social media is and why its important • About conversations • Having a message • Listening to your audience • Keeping supporters informed • Some Social Media websites • Join in and ask questions • Have fun ! http://www.flickr.com/photos/virtuatron/
  • 5. Finding Out – Networking and Communications
  • 6. Lets play a game!
  • 8. What is Social Media and why is it relevant
  • 9. Old media - Web 1.0 . . . . . static websites with no interaction, text heavy content. Information just fed TO visitors (Others – if you dare!)
  • 10. New media - Web 2.0 ... . . media rich, interactive, content served based on preferences, open for comments, conversations WITH visitors encouraged. Web 2.0 =Social Media =New Media =Social Networking
  • 11. Are you on Social Media? No? Probably – Yes! Have you checked?! How are you being represented? What are people already saying? Are you using Social Media? Does your organisation have a website … that is interactive? Have you got a blog? Do you use YouTube or Flickr? Are you on Facebook? Do you Tweet? Do you use web tools to improve organisational efficiency? So, What is Social Media?
  • 12. Social Networking – the numbers • Of all the websites visited in UK, 2 are Social Networks - Google (9.5%), Facebook (6.6%), YouTube (3.5%), ebay (1.9%), WinMail (1.4%). Google = 91% of search traffic. (HitWise – Feb 2012) • 96% of aged 18-35 on one or more network • Of the 48.6 million adult population (ONS), 77% have a Facebook profile, 66% are YouTube users, 32% are on Twitter and 16% have a presence on LinkedIn. (Umph Sept 2011 – sample of 2,400 adults) • 50% of Facebook users view their page daily and (February 2012) • YouTube 2nd most popular way to search for content. 48hrs is uploaded every minute • One to watch? Pinterest visits up from 50k to over 300k in 1 month. (Nov 2011 Comscore)
  • 13. Social Networking – the numbers • Average social network user is aged 37 • LinkedIn it's 44, Twitter 39, Facebook 38 & Bebo 28 (typical user younger) • 52% of Facebook users are 18 to 34 yrs • But, of active social networking users, 19% of all users are over 45 and internet users over 65 say they are confident using social media • 55% aged 18-34 check their social networks at least once a day (June 2011) • 30% check their status as soon as they wake up, 81% never turn their phone off (Aug 2011) So, its not a passing phase, but it is important that organisations direct their marketing effort to the right network(s) http://bigbible.org.uk/2011/12/social-media-infographic/#.Tt6yloSrmSo (From – Ofcom, www.clickymedia.co.uk & www.hitwise.com)
  • 14. Use of social networks is 23% of time spent on internet in UK, 159% increase in last 3 years. 76% of iPad users also have a desktop PC, but 9% bought one to replace their desktop / laptop Mobile web access will eclipse wired by 2015, 17% of UK households already use phone as primary web access Android OS use grown from 5% to 47% (Dec 2009 to Dec 2011).

  • 15. Inclusion – Voluntary Sector audience • Social networking shouldn't replace face to face communication • Although 77% of households are connected and 30.1million people access the internet every day (ONS 2011 / 2010), 8.4 million people have never been online • Of this, 31% in low income households and 45% have no post 16 qualifications • 75% in BME communities don’t use internet regularly • 43% put off using social media due to jargon • Away from populated areas broadband and even 3G access can be difficult (33% < 2mbps in Penrith & Borders) • 1200+ partners pledged to help people get online, find what they want online & then stay online. Resources to help become a Digital Champion
  • 16. How can social media help Marketing activity? • Increases speed of communication – no faster way to (Action) spread marketing messages than through social networking. Less of a financial cost but ‘expense’ may be the time • Widens message to people/groups that would normally (Awareness) be missed using more traditional methods – ‘viral’ marketing campaigns hugely powerful creating awareness extremely efficiently • Deepens to build new and different networks – (Fundraising) communities of interest to bounce ideas off and share experiences, increase commitment and fundraising for campaigning activity. Show understanding and start some conversations!
  • 17. How can social media help Marketing activity?

Use RSS and Google Alerts to stay ahead of developments in your area of interest - build a ‘Listening Dashboard’ Joins together communities who are interested in similar (Action) things, have the same likes or are striving for the same objectives. Tell your supporters and networks about your work in a new way • Commoncraft Video explaining Social Media
  • 18. The voluntary sector problem Where to start Knowledge Confidence / Fear Capacity / Resources Access Time Cost Scepticism Any more?
  • 19. Time Planning – response expected? Type News travels Reply within Print 7 days 2 weeks Email 7 hours 2 days Facebook / Blogs 7 minutes 2 hours Twitter 7 seconds 2 minutes But how much time do organisations allocate for maintaining a social media presence and marketing themselves?
  • 20. But how much time do charities allocate? 48% have no budget for social media activities and 86% allocate a 0.5 FTE or less to using & maintaining it (NTEN - 2011 – NonProfit Social Network Benchmark Report) 17% have a social media plan or strategy (East Midlands ICT Infrastructure organisations – March 2012) 6% have social media guidelines for responsible use (East Midlands ICT Infrastructure organisations – March 2012) Social Media websites are increasingly an organisations main 'shop window' – we will check there first!
  • 21.

Do ‘as well as’ what you do • Choose tool to match audience and implement • Look at what other centres have done, what works elsewhere? • Sustain the conversation and say thank you • Encourage people to return, keep it new, links from websites
  • 22. Stop and think! What is your organisation trying to achieve? – How does it fit with the communications plan – What goals do you think social media might help with? Do you already have a website that you can update yourself? – Can be as simple as Google Site, Flavors, Weebly or Wordpress – Internet presence is now your main shop window Have you got the time? Are you ready and prepared for change & to release some control?!

Average channel transaction cost (PWC – 2009 Local Authority to Citizen) Post Face to Face Telephone Online £12.10 £10.53 £3.39 £0.08
  • 25. Audience – Who are they? – Where are they? If you build it, they won’t come <Guide – Page 7 – Is it suitable? Question 2>
  • 26. Start conversation – but don't try to move everyone It can be difficult to get It’s easier to go where people to come to you people are already Do you know who your target audience are?
