Digital is still considered new media. For some, when they think about digital, all that they hear is effectively a big jumble of words, abbreviations and terminology, most of which goes completely over their head. But some brands have actually taken courage and plunged into the digital ocean. This act of courage has won them great rewards in terms of awareness engagement & most importantly sales.But why do brands choose to go the Digital way….
With evolving technology the way we communicate has changed,
2007: first iphone2008: iphone 3g, ios app store, first android phone2009: app stores explode: blackberry app world, nokiaovi, windows marketplace, ANGRY BIRDS!!
But yet what we hope to achieve out of communication hasn’t changed. We still want to connect with our friends and we still want to have our personality stand out as distinct from the crowd.
How we use the internet… and what we use it for has also changed. Similarly, for us as marketers, how we connect to our consumers has also changed. These days, the emotional connect is very important. From parallel silos of existence, to a one way information flow, to today where communication is effectively a two way conversation with those who buy our products and live with our brands.
88% of consumers are influenced by reviews.On avg. 1 social consumer will tell 42 other people.Consumers who engage with companies via social media spend 20-40% more money.
To figure out what your consumer is saying in which media and how important it is to the brand. Most social media complement rather than compete with each other, in terms of function. With APIs to share between various media, there is a complete 360 degrees social environment in play.
