1. Presentation During the course in The Social Web have we worked in groups to make a strategy for a company to improve their using of social media. When we first began our assignment thought we that we would like to create a new product for Turun Sanomat newspaper. Turun Sanomat is the third largest seven-‐day newspaper in Finland. After we had contacted them and they didn’t show interest so decided we do an own English digital newspaper. Our newspaper, Turku Today concentrates on news from the Turku region but also news from other Finland and the world. The newspaper concentrates most on exchange students, researchers and international teachers in Finland and of course everyone who has interests. We noticed that international exchange students don’t get news from Turku region in English, and just a few understand Finnish or Swedish. We thought it could be a good market strategy to publish Turku today because Turku has every year approximately thousand students who comes from other countries. We wanted to create a digital webpage where you can share information of Finland, news, happenings, blogs, weather and events etc. Where do exchange students get their information of Finland before they come here? They need to find information on the Internet, in many different web pages. Why not put all information on one webpage? We would like to co-‐operate with Universities in Turku if they would have some interest to add our webpage to their webpage and that way could students find information about our little country. Every exchange student need to visit universities homepage, it would be good if our webpage link would be on Universities homepages, that way could we even reach Finnish speaking readers. We think that even students who study journalism could take a course form University where they could practice journalism and write for example articles to Turku Today. That would be even good for us because the cost would be low. © Netzoom 2010 page 3

TurkuToday.info
We need to be in the right place, in the right time to right people; it means that we need to be in the social media. We are going to market our project in 2.0 tools; it’s the place where everybody is today. With 2.0 tools do we mean for example Facebook and Twitter. Social media is a very good and important marketing way in today’s business. We think that it’s the fastest and most effect way to get peoples attention and the information spreads really fast. By using social media can we also spread our webpage to other countries and that way could even more people learn about Finland. We need to be careful that we use the social media in right way. Many companies are in the social media but they don’t know how to use it. There are differences between social media and mass media. Social media is very inexpensive and almost everyone can use it. The information spreads very fast. Mass media, like newspapers are often written by professionals and the costs are higher. Some people might think that you can trust more on mass media because you often know who writes for example articles. As we earlier told so anyone can spread information in social media and the information might be wrong sometimes. Both social media and mass media can reach a large or small audience by for example blogs or Television. © Netzoom 2010 page 4

The Target An essential step, when a company wants to launch a new product or service over the market, is to analyze that market. One of the first issues is to identify the possible consumers, targeting a segment of people and analyzing their needing in order to find the best possible solution for them. This is important in particular for online products and services because there is an overload of offers on the web and it is a very large and competitive market. There are no switching costs for the consumer, they can move from one product to another just through one click, they also can get a big amount of information eliminating asymmetries, therefore many scholars describe the web-‐market in term of perfect competition. For this reason in the design phase of our project we tried to analyze our future market and focus our strategy on a very specific segment of users. Turku Today is a very tailored product, the target of our product are international exchange students. As we will show, this is not a very large group of users, at least in comparison with other Internet information services, but we think that this is the best target for our product. A more general type of online newspaper could potentially serve the needing of a larger number of people but it would be more difficult to reach them and realize a suitable product, in that case our newspaper would also be in competition with a lot of other bigger sources of information. We decided to realize a service focused on the needings of international exchange students also because we have a large knowledge about this target, as three members of our team are exchange students. © Netzoom 2010 page 5
6.
TurkuToday.info
As you can see in the picture above exchange students are the primary target, they will be the biggest part of user of our website, the more loyal, the ones who will participate more and who will be the first to use the website in the initial period. The contents and the tools that we will provide will be based on their needing but not exclusively for them. International teachers, researchers, doctorates, postgraduate or other kinds of international students that are not part of an exchange program can benefit from the service too, indeed they do not differs so much from exchange student, we can say that exchange student are just a sub-‐group of this large segment. The third group of people is the most general and is composed by students of every kind or people that want to read English news or are interested in our services even if they are not specifically designed for them. The following table shows the amount of foreign students in Turku University in the last years. The biggest parts of them are exchange student (409 in 2008) and 209 of them are from the Erasmus program. We also must take into consideration that these data are about the entire student registered during the calendar year but the majority of them study in Turku for less than 12 months. Therefore they will not use the service all at the same time. © Netzoom 2010 page 6
7.
TurkuToday.info
As we can see the number of exchange students is increasing1, as these data are from 2008 we could expect a bigger number in 2010 and 2011. Furthermore Turku University is the bigger University of the city but not the only one, there is also Abo Akademy whose exchange student are more or less one third (181 exchange student and 788 foreign students in 2009) and Turku University of Applied Science that is quite small (at the moment 350 foreign degree students). An average estimate of exchange student during 2010 should be between 750 and 850. Statistics by TYS housing office are recently updated and they report that in year foreign students took 2010 about 1000 of their 7,300 residential places. Concluding we can say that there is a sufficient number of potential users, even if it is not very big this should be a very good target for the reasons that we explained before. 1 Source: TUAS, UTU and Abo Akademy International Office. © Netzoom 2010 page 7

3. The Channel Every residential place of TYS has got an Internet connection; Internet is usually available in other student flats and in several computer room inside libraries and universities. We presume that every student has got easy access to the web, in fact internet is definitely the main channel of communication and information for exchange students. They operate a very large number of activities online, for example they can take Internet based courses or manage their exams, course and study career through instruments like Moodle or Minplan. Internet is also used for applying for a TYS flat, sign in for trips or activities and booking sauna facilities and a large number of different tasks. Internet most important function for exchange student is for sure communication, through e-‐mail, communities and social networks. Facebook is the virtual place where their spend the biggest part of their navigation time. Facebook features suite very well to student’s needings, it is almost mandatory for exchange student to be part of the network in order to communicate through message and chat and be updated about current events. ESN associations Facebook accounts and fun pages could give an idea of the phenomenon: ● Pancho Abo Akademy (Abo Akademy mascot) 1,200 friends, ● ESN Turku – Abo (Uni turku, IAC and Abo together) 990 members, ● ESN Uni Turku 940 members, ● ESN Abo Akademy 842 members, ● ESN IAC 340 members ESN does not represent all the exchange students but their websites (www.iac.tuas.fi, www.esnuniturku.fi, www.esnabo.eu) are a point of references also for who is not on Erasmus. They also provide a weekly newsletter that contains © Netzoom 2010 page 8
9.
TurkuToday.info a
lot of information about incoming events and other news that are usually given by Facebook. 3.1. Similar products and references We tried to scan the market in order to see if there is similar product in Turku or in other cities that could be direct competitors. The following online newspapers share some features with our product: • http://www.abounderrattelser.fi is the most important online newspaper about Turku (in Swedish language) • http://www.unikankare.net is a cultural blog about the city written in Finnish • http://www.wikicompass.fi/turku a wiki-‐content based website with useful information for students, provided in English language by the University of Applied Science of Turku • http://www.ovimagazine.com is an English online newspapers but its target is not Turku but the whole Finland • http://www.sixdegrees.fi/6d/ a printed newspaper in English about Finland for young people. Also we find out some experiences that could be useful to get ideas for our product: • http://www.universando.eu is an Italian information website made by students for students • http://btvnoticies.wordpress.com blog where the Barcelona TV public broadcasting share the experiences about Internet 2.0 in the media with the audience. • http://www.catalannewsagency.com/ official web of the public Catalan News Agency in English with news about the topics for the international communication media about Catalonia. Usage of the social tools. As you can see we didn't find any product of the same typology of Turku Today, these websites share some characteristics and can give us some hints, for example we noticed that they are daily updated, but they will not be in competition with our product that will be unique in its kind. © Netzoom 2010 page 9

Financial statements As part of the market analysis we also tried to make some prevision about the economic aspect of the product. The initial idea of being a new product of Turku Sanomat was rejected so we can not get resources from this big newspaper. In any case we think that Turku Today project will have zero-‐cost. In fact, following the web 2.0 paradigm, it will be based on voluntary work and free sharing of information by users, we will also employ open source software and social tools that can be found on the Internet for free. A good opportunity should be to make some agreements with university and other international infrastructures in order to obtain some help, for example articles from journalism students. We will finally want to answer to a typical question: Where is the profit in this project? Profit is in fact the final objective of almost every company and a key-‐point in developing a web strategy. In our case there is actually no profit, some revenues can come from the advertisements (Google Ads) but they will be a small amount and can for example repay the cost of the web domain. But as we are a group of student and not a company our goal is to get participation instead of profit; an active community that use and sustain the online newspaper should be the best return and should benefit the whole student life in Turku. 4.1. Proposal budget Nowadays, as you can see in the previous point, our project has non-‐profit because we are amateur students and we are not interested to get profit. In the case that our online newspaper would achieve a big success and somebody would like to get an economic viability here we present a potential budget. As we see, the website is potentially self-‐sustaining with this proposal budget you can get more incomes in the order to empower the project and make it more professional. © Netzoom 2010 page 10

The goal for the first year is to get at least 30 companies that pay 300 euros for 3 months campaign (100 per month). Sponsor: is a kind of special advertisement for companies that want to show their support to the project and have exchange students in Turku as a target. The advertisements from the sponsor company will be in a premium place of the layout. In the Turku Today marketing campaigns will be the icon of the sponsor company. The contract will be at least for one year. 4.2. SWOT-‐analysis We decided to do a SWOT-‐analysis for our project. SWOT-‐analysis is the way to evaluate our projects strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. We think that our projects strengths are that we don’t have any competitors in Turku region in English, we use social media, which is very cheap to use, and almost everybody can use it. Our weaknesses are that we are going to have students that work on our project so their knowledge is not that high and as we use students so we need to think that do they really have time to work on this project. Opportunities are that other Universities in Finland would be interested in our product; they maybe want to create an own webpage to their hometown. Our opportunities are also that companies find our product interesting and they want to market on our webpage or they want to co-‐operate with us. Threats are that we work in Internet. Internet is a very risk place, many knows how to us it, there could be wrong information. Threats are also that we get competitors and maybe we don’t get enough readers. Strengths-‐ no competitors, social media, cheap Weaknesses-‐ students work, time Opportunities-‐co-‐operation with companies and universities Threats-‐ competitors, Internet, enough readers © Netzoom 2010 page 12

TurkuToday.info 5. About
the product 5.1. Product principles: from the mass media to social media Turku Today wants to integrate applications and medias on-‐line in the order to make easier the interaction, collaboration and sharing content. New tips for a non-‐organized environment 1. Democratization: establish news supports to emitting messages and catching and communicating with the target audience. 2. Audience fragmentation: the public is the same but have more interaction challenges, more media. More calls to their attention. 3. Focus in the conversation: the main point is the interaction between the people to create new content. 4. Micro-‐actions requirement: we need to focus our campaigns and send the message to smaller groups in the order to get replies. 5. Building presence: our brand must “stay” in the net building presence and generating reputation. The new media should listen the people by speaking. 5.2. Needings of the target The new product, of course, must have new content that would be attractive for the recipients – young people speaking and reading in English, especially exchange students of Turku universities. But of course, it might be attractive also for everyone who is interested about news and interesting things about Turku life and wants to practice his/her English. The goal is, to convince students to participate on creating of the news and other content. Concerning content, we suppose that students know what kind of information they need. But here is a short list of possible new products, which may be most important and most useful: © Netzoom 2010 page 13

TurkuToday.info Local news
in English -‐ especially important are those who have an importance for exchange students -‐ changes in prize of tickets, snow calamity, airlines strike, increasing alcohol taxes etc. All kinds of news should be produced -‐ not only articles but also some photo galleries, sounds, videos. As was already said, students should participate. It would be good if cooperation with Turku universities might be touched. Then students might choose a course called like “Creating On-‐line News” and get some credits for their work. This would be also good for advertising because young journalists are often proud about their products and they share their articles or pictures on social networks. Events calendar -‐ including culture, sports, fun, parties, trips etc. Students who will attend those events will take some pictures and write a report about the event, which will be published on the website. Interactive map -‐ exchange students who come to the town don’t know Turku and its neighborhood. They don’t know where are good and cheap pubs, where is a good place to be visited and seen, where is good to go shopping or where to accommodate your friends who come and visit you. All these useful or important places will be added into the map, people can also add new places and write why they are important. Blogs network-‐ students can share their experience and help to students who would come next. It is always good to know a real experience about living, food, transport, weather, Finnish way of life or anything. “Buy or sell” -‐ advertisements or online action, for students who will come to Turku or go home. While staying here, a normal student gets a lot of stuff that they can’t take back home (like bikes, carpets, kitchen tools etc.). So he can place here an advert and surely will find anyone who will come and would like to have these things, cheaper than in the normal shop. © Netzoom 2010 page 14

TurkuToday.info “Sharing
experiences”: It would be very useful if the exchange students can get the link to Turku Today website, before they will come – to read the experience etc. Here is very important the cooperation with the universities. When a student will be accepted as a exchange student, university should send him/her the link. It also may be placed on the website of the university. All the products should be published via separated RSS channel, to make possible to choose which kind of information would like to get. © Netzoom 2010 page 15

6. Tools 6.1. Internal tools Newspaper and the people who make them usually have their own ways of work, some of them use social web tools, some of them not. But they might be really very useful, especially in case that all the journalists don't work in one place (which would be true if some exchange students will participate on making news). Documents sharing and co-‐creating (Google Documents, Prezi, TitanPad, SlideShare) -‐ makes work easier when one article has more authors or when the article needs to be read by an editor before it will be published. Chats and videoconferences messages (Skype, GTalk, Gmail) – make easier cooperation, distribution of work and so on. Shared calendar (Google Calendar, Doodle) -‐ use for reminding of deadlines, events, press conferences etc, because people who work in media usually are overloaded by information and forget a lot of things. Doodle to find a time for meetings that fits to everyone. Sharing of documents, sounds, pictures, videos (DropBox, Drop.io) -‐ Turku Today wouldn’t need their own publishing system for sharing and storaging these things. It is also possible to share them on other social networks, not only on the Turun Sanomat website. It also makes easier the cooperation because people don’t have to send data by e-‐mail etc. Checking on-‐line reputation (Google Alerts, Google Analytics, TweetVolume, BlogPulse and Topsy) -‐ to check the reputation and the feedback about the brand in the Net. The next step should be to optimize keywords and SEO in the order to get a better position in the main search engines. © Netzoom 2010 page 16

TurkuToday.info 7. Conclusions
We are particularly satisfied about the course and the group’s project because we transform our paper and theoretical project into a real existing web service (www.turkutoday.info). Also we have had the possibility to use some of the social tools that we saw in class. The website has been on line for 2 weeks and we already got many audience and followers in our social networks. One of the most important advantages of our product is that the target that we have (exchange students in Turku) is quite large but with a specific needings that are uncovered by the current supply. In fact, there are not competitors in the market. We are the first on-‐line based newspaper in English about Turku student life. We expect big success because Internet is the main information channel for the exchange students. Also we have a secondary market, uncovered too, Turku citizens that want to improve English skills. About the economic side of our www.turkutoday.info, we are proud because we get a product based on voluntary work and sharing through open free software and free tools. In fact that we are only amateur students we are looking for collaboration in order to provide a better and frequently updated content. We can currently offer the service with 0 cost. In the case that somebody wants to make it professional we think that the webpage will sustain itself with our budget proposal. The use of the social web tools is the key of the potential success. We noticed the lack of social networks use by the traditional online media. Therefore we should have a competitive advantage. Social web tools allow us to reach visitors from the target and keep going on the interaction. We are native social digital media and our priority is the active interaction with our audience. With the cooperation of our social networks followers we can offer real time information, events, recommendations and other useful services for students. © Netzoom 2010 page 20
