Hinweis der Redaktion
- Let’s take a specific group, a key group that is in many ways exemplary of the situation: ITDMs. Over 40% of business technology decision-makers indicate that support forums, discussion forums, and professional social networks influence them throughout their online journey. They’re looking at real world vendor events and trade shows, online blogs and technology sites, and as they move closer to purchase, they are exploring message boards to see if experience matches the sales pitch. These online discussions shape perceptions about brands. As such, companies need to progress beyond mere “likes” and adopt a strategy of engagement. Increasingly saturated social channels require personalization and a willingness to engage buyers where the buyers are, where they learn, and where they go to make their decisions.
- Communities play an increasingly vital role in the health of online networks, the success of brands, and the cultivation of ideas and content. A community takes a list of different individuals and makes of them a collective, united by interest or purpose, and empowers those in the community to contribute to and learn from the knowledge of others. Brands need to be part of a community in order to stay current with customers and to contribute to the conversation in a trusted environment.
- The way this works for marketers on Linked in is through LinkedIn Groups. With groups, marketers can organize their communities around explicit marketing goals and brand values. In addition, they can connect to company micro-sites, bringing the content closer to the group environment. Rich content, thanks to LinkedIn slideshare channels, offers a robust way to demonstrate thought leadership and to encourage sustained engagement with overall brand messaging. To round it all out, robust company pages can integrate recommendations and shared material from company followers, provide a clearing house for company and brand content, and link to larger networks and recruiting practices.
