Social Media 7 C’s
 Connectivity;
 Communities;
 Co-creativity;
 Collaboration;
 Collective intelligence;
 Communication (two-ways);
 Conversation.
(Macnamara, 2010)

47.
General points about social media:
 It is not about getting as many followers/fans etc. as possible or compete with
traditional mass media for numbers. It is more about the quality of
followers/fans. (thus not a competitor of traditional media)
 More followers or fans does not mean that the use of social media is more
successful, hence not an evaluation benchmark.
 Getting more and more less involved publics onto Facebook etc. just devaluates
their quality, it is about high-involvement publics.
 Too much traffic is not useful because it brings in too much stray.

48.
Social Media Communication Strategy (POST)
 People – how they behave on social media, platforms your audience are now,
where are they likely to be going in the next foreseeable future, etc…
 Objectives – what are your goals for customer engagement having in mind the
different customer life-cycle, from acquisition to retention. “Decide on your
objectives before you decide on a technology. Then figure out how you will
measure it. (Josh Bernoff, Forrester)
 Strategy – Where does it sit with the overall strategy, how can it help you to
leverage other channels? How social media can be used to improve your
competitive advantage, increase visibility etc.
 Technology – what are the best social media platforms based on your audience
and goals?

49.
Approaches to facilitate WOM
 Buzz marketing – use latest entertainment news to get people talking about
you;
 Viral Marketing – creative content or informative messages designed to be
passed along;
 Community marketing – form or support communities that are likely to share
your brand values and other interests in line with your identity and goals.
Enable them with tools, contents, and information;
 Influencer Marketing - identify opinion leaders who are likely to talk about
you;
 Conversation creation
 Technology – what are the best social media platforms based on your audience
and goals?

50.
Positive WOM is believed to increase Purchase intent so you should:
… make use of causal marketing – get people on your side by associating your
brand with a good a good cause.
…create advocacy by harnessing the power of empowered involvement.
…implement and optimise referral programmes.
…set-up brand ambassador schemes and an influencer outreach programme.
…measure your Net Promoter Score (NPS) based on promoters, friends and
adversaries at all brand touch points to find out what you are doing right and what
needs to change or be improved.

(Masden et al., 2005)
