Marketing and social media trend setters of 2011 and what we can expect in the year 2012

• What were the trend setters of 2011 &
• What we can expect in terms of digital & social media technology integrated brand, product and services marketing for 2012

The top trend setters, Power house websites and applications in 2011 were:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• LinkedIn
• Google Plus
• Google Android
• Foursquare
• WordPress
• Instagram
• YouTube

 What they achieved and what we can expect from them in the year 2012:

Top trend setters:

Google Android: We saw the globe going gaga over the rich sweet OS treats offered by Google Android in terms of Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread and so on. Google Android with its open source and scores of free apps, made its presence felt more with the launch of Gingerbread and that was coupled with Samsung’s ample choice of smartphones and tablets powered with Android OS. It has over 85% of its users now upgraded with Android 2.1 and 3.1 OS.

Facebook: The ‘F’ word. Facebook still remains as the top social networking site with over 700 Million users and sure enough, we are looking ahead at an early Billion user milestone mark this 2012.

Twitter: This site which was started merely as a social bookmarking tool or site, now is looking to be a threat to the mighty facebook too. Twitter crossed the milestone of users now sending over 200 Million Tweets per day and with the amazing platform now reaching to over 100 Million active users, the little bird was simply trending across the globe.  With its all new Activity stream, available across more countries and in many more languages, addition of TweetDeck, integration of tools for Sharing photos, videos and more content from popular streams across, Twitter will be the site to watch out for brands and users across the globe.

Foursquare: Foursquare set a record of Billion Check-ins in 2011.  That, further boosted with its user base now growing over 10 million people,  this location – based check-in site made it clear to the world ‘when it comes to geo target or location based application, foursquare rules the lot. (Foursquare Interesting infographic )

Google Plus: The much awaited Google Plus was launched with more anticipation than probably any other news with a frenzy of users paying scores of dollars for getting an “Invite” into Google Plus. Though the initial rush has eventually seemed to settle down with many users opting to stay a little bit longer with facebook than jump on to the G+ wagon, this power site of Google will surely add up some amazing surprises for brands, marketers and users across in 2012. Especially with the One+ button going live across search engine for users to use the tool and popularize real-time content streaming.

LinkedIn: In early quarter of 2011 LinkedIn crossed the 100 Million members mark and its looking better than ever. With its IPO soaring  and creating the most amazing financial buzz around,  it is a site to look out for. With its newer features of Live news, popular stories and more, professionals across the globe want to be a part of this amazing network. Lot is riding on it this year and if the past experience is anything to go by, 2012 will be a year of positive updates and surprises for LinkedIn users across the globe.

WordPress: WordPress crossed the 50 Million mark in 2011 and this popular Blogging platform now empowers over 70 Million sites (70,112,513 WordPress sites across the Globe.) With its ease of use and flexibility for users to add their own codes, app integrations and widgets, we wont be surprised to see it cross the 100 Million mark this 2012. With more and more bloggers and readers around the world, WordPress seems to be an obvious and unanimous choice.

Instagram: With over 150 Million photos, this site seems to be raging with creative and rich content in terms of “captured moments’ which are shared by users every second. Its easy to use, very  fast and empowers users to express themselves amazingly. This app would be a game changer in terms of rich media content sharing especially for pictures and we would not be surprised to see picture editing and effects features integrated more with the instagram apps in 2012.

YouTube: This video stream site turned Five in 2011 and with that it achieved a remarkable milestone of over 3 billion videos viewed a day.

Do we need to say why it’s going to make more eyeballs move on your computer screen in 2012. Keep watching.

 Most important points for BRANDS:

• Its very clear. The year 2012 will be the year of RICH CONTENT (Pictures, Videos, Pods & more)
•  With Brands understanding more clearly about social media quotient analysis and Consumer responses, metrics, the year 2012 will be about “BEING at the right place (Being present only in social sites where the brand and products presence really matters) at the right time.
•  2011 was the year of smartphones. While that can only see an uptrend, 2012 will be the year of Tablets across users. The fight between Apple’s iPad and Samsung Tablets will see a much stronger and more varied availability of tablets from other major players like Blackberry, Motorola, HP too.
• 2012 will be about real-time content streaming and data sharing with users that are genuinely useful to them and will add value to them on a daily basis.

Who will win:

• BOTTOM-LINE: Brands that can capitalize on giving Spontaneous responses to their in-house marketing teams or external agencies will only be able to capitalize. There will be no time for “Delayed responses” this 2012.
•  It’s all about bringing together Marketing and Branding strategies with technology that the user is comfortable with for that particular brand, product and services.
•  Detailed social media analysis, combining various digital strategies like viral marketing, keyword and SEO optimization, Creative Content writing, Online PR Campaigns, will need to go hand in hand with the brands campaigns across social sites like Facebook, Google Adword campaigns and social bookmarking and real-time content and trends streaming across power tools like Twitter.

Do share with us your views, suggestions and comments on “How YOU see the strategies, newer trends and social media marketing-technology integrating in terms of going social will evolve in the year 2012?

Have a wonderfully social year ahead.

Top Online Marketing Updates of 2010 (Technology, Brand Monitoring & Marketing)

The journey from Social Media to Assured Sales

The journey from social media to assured sales is the one every brand would love to make.  As it not only ensures good business, but also helps brands to establish themselves as “Consumers Choice”.

Of the many aspects that are part of an online marketing campaign, there are few which are the core points that brands need to keep in mind while planning a social media marketing campaign:

Understand the consumer first -  Do your homework, research, analysis and understand the complete demographic and online social behavior of the consumers on:

• “How do they react” to specific tone of messages, words, phrases etc online.
• Each consumer (Industry centric) reacts differently online and offline.
• The idea is to have a very thin line between the two worlds and give the end users a real-time experience with rich content, feel in terms of demos, apps, videos, immediate feedback and responses too.
• In simple terms, it should result into value for connecting with your brand and a wonderful experience at the end for the users.

The consumer of today is well informed and it is to be used as an advantage by brands as their target market today interacts and engages themselves more than ever before.

So the first idea is to understand and connect with the consumer within and then with the end users.

• Don’t sell, but relate to their needs, buying patterns, customize and give them value for being a part of this online social engagement.
• Remember, every user online who speaks about you or “Likes or Mentions” you across social networking platforms, is your very own brand ambassador.
• Recognize them and reward them accordingly.Make room for immediate gratification.
• Look at what brands like Starbucks or Mountain Dew does. They take customers feedback and create products relevant to their needs.

Now comes the part of understanding what they need and the aspect of really making it happen based on organizational support and dealing with roadblocks that are inevitable (Organizational roadblocks – Rigid Policy, guidelines, in-house team support etc). Every effort towards customization for consumer, especially on an online platform, assures the Brands tremendous recognition and feedback via brand promotion and mentions by their consumers and the best part is that, its measurable.

Offer them custom designed services and products. Its wonderful when brands ask customers to design their very own “Combo products / services” It not only keeps them engaged with the brand, but also tells them that you value their opinions and doing your best to deliver.

Today e-commerce companies like Flipkart are doing really well because of many reasons, but few of those mainly owing to the fact that they have a “no-hassle return policy coupled with Cash on delivery” option which gives tremendous trust to consumers buying online today. With that, they also offer daily special offers, deals, low-price and that with great service is bound to make them popular. It shows that they have listened.

Another important aspect is, to not be on, each and every available online platform.

This is a mistake which many brands today make. Being or trying to be everywhere. Be at relevant online platforms. Understand whether your end users use blogs, forms, social networking sites, google searches, web banner ads, emailers, smartphone apps etc and establish your presence across those profiles only. Being across 4-6 such platforms to begin with is more than enough during a period of a six month to one year campaign wherein, you get a better understanding of their comfort levels with engaging online and you can then focus on may be just those 2-3 platforms, where their presence is more and for a longer duration.

Search engine optimization also is an important part of digital marketing today with feeds and comments appearing on searches. But with the pace with which social media monitoring and marketing seem to be growing, its become compulsory to integrate social media campaigns with seo. But make sure, you concentrate on on-page optimization as strong as off-age optimization too.

Customer insights and knowing your company or Brand’s social media quotient (SMQ) is the core of a social media or any digital marketing campaign. It also ensures brand monitoring for both, negative and positive mentions about your brand, product and services. Always remember, if you exist as a brand, someone out there is are already talking about you. Make sure you are a part of that amazing conversation prism.

SEO and Brand monitoring helps you to find the relevant sites when combined with social media influence strategies (SMI). It lets you study in-depth about the relevant sites, have a brief look at the profile of registered users on that site based on connect you have with the users or the apps integrated with the site. You then get to know the influencer(s) too. The idea is to gauge the quality of brand and or keyword related conversations real-time.

No campaign is complete without predetermined target to be achieved in terms of real ROI for the company or brand. Make sure your social media monitoring and brand marketing campaigns have enough strategies and process in it to help you evaluate the return on investment for your campaigns. Remember, good campaigns are those which constantly are improvised with consistent responses and feedback based on the social media quotient analysis and reports of your campaign.

Some power packed tools that always go a long way when used appropriately are:

• Blogs: It’s a powerhouse in terms of social media tool. A great way to engage your users with interesting and relevant information and at the same time, gives them an opportunity to interact with the brand too.
• Forums: Extremely efficient when it comes to users wherein the products need a lot of assistance in terms of support intermittently.
• Facebook: Wherein the end user is right in front of you
• Twitter: Users are consumption hungry and need quick information at jet speed.
• LinkedIn: For Corporate professionals. Connect and grow as a business together

So, what did your brand tell your customer today?

TechBrandsMeetup Event from Techdivine Creative Services

The 2nd TechBrandsMeetUP Event was held on June 12, 2011 in Mumbai at Techdivine Creative Services.

Participants from across 10 Industries (Banking, HR, IT, Telecom, Infrastructure, Media, IPR, Finance, Advertising, Industrial) shared wonderful insights into the current updates from their industry, use of Technology integrated social tools from their organizations, their expectations, concerns, cross sharing of ideas and more.

The event kicked off with our Founder & CEO Mr.Ananth, addressing the professionals with a brief “About us – Techdivine Creative Services” & Highlights of the first TechBrandsMeetUP event.

Each participant was introduced with the Industry they belonged to and the discussions followed.

Each Industry’s customer was present during the event, the reason being, each one of us makes use of one or the other products from across Industries on a day to day basis, whether on a B2B platform or a B2C medium. So as soon as Industry professionals shared their insights and concerns, we took an immediate customer view on the same and got their feedback and responses. Then we shared with the concerned participant the probable solutions that the new age media tools could provide based on our earlier marketing, social media & viral campaigns across Industries and countries.

Within the first hour of the event, the whole place was abuzz with ideas and suggestions from end users of Industries and with feedback that added value to the participants.

Few key highlights from the event as follows:

-          Banking: Of the various updates and news shared, One of the prime concerns expressed was shams happening online due to intentional misrepresentation by fraudsters to lure innocent prospects into their fraudulent activities.  Not only did every other participant express their valuable thoughts on it, but there were some innovative techniques and process which we too shared from our end to have control over the same using technology integrated Social tools to Monitor Brands and activities online. One of the key examples shared from our end, was protecting both, the consumers & brands by using strategic, organized & controlled approach similar to our ROADMAP strategy and the Social Media Influence (SMI) tool integrated with Blogs and Social Bookmarking to have a much stronger control over the same. The idea of monitoring with strong analytics and at the same time using social networking power to keep people informed was very well accepted by the participants.

-          Media: With Blockbuster movies like Pirates, Batman, Avatar making royal splash across online sites, very less needed to be shared on the power of digital marketing tools for TV shows, media channels and Movies. What were discussed was some innovative tools that each participant had experienced online for different movies on sites like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook etc. Obviously the prime concern or pain area discussed was piracy of movies and music online. To which a major vote unanimously screamed to the ideas used by many producers today to simultaneously launch their movies online too on sites like Youtube etc at an extremely marginal cost. This eventually will not only lead to a major drop in piracy online, but also give users to discuss, share and comment on the movies real-time. We also shared some powerful insights into using the social media digital tools to empower audiences with latest happenings across the world in just a matter of seconds and bringing help and hope together to those who need it at great pace to further empower media.

-          Telecom: Telecom seems to be slowly getting into the digital media space. What was observed was, even though many sites and brands seem to have already adopted powerhouse tools like Facebook, Twitter etc optimally to showcase their engaging tools, interesting offers, surprise contests etc for users, most of these brands do not have a strong back-up team to live upto their promises online especially for after sales services, customer grievances etc. Some of the brands that were mentioned during this discussion were Dell, Vodafone, Tata, Airtel wherein corporate professionals expressed their views on the number of times they have opted for a switch of brands because the Brands did not resolve their grievances on time. What was also observed as a cause for switching loyalty other than having a poor back-up team was that, in certain cases, the Brands were not able to tap the user grievances due to a poor planning of tracking brand mentions or failing to revert back on time. The very important point to note here was, majority of the irate users who switched Brands due to major grievances were those who had been loyal to those specific brands the longest. What we suggested here again was empowering the Brands or Companies with a stronger Brand monitoring tool but with lesser advertising assurances and more on time delivery of services to reaffirm their lost faith across customers. Core being, resolving an Irate customers issues not only assures the brand of a happy customer but a powerful and loyal brand ambassador for life.

-          Infrastructure & Industrial: In both the cases the participants from respective industries expressed what was currently being used by the Companies to connect with internal employees and prospects / customers, wherein the most popular tool seemed to be Blogs. Reason that seemed to echo across was that more than having an option to reach out to the company CEO or Business head as shared by the HR teams of their respective organizations by using direct internal mail service, the idea of having a Blog wherein the Top Exes of the company shared “whats happening now” in terms of company achievements, new additions, changes if any, events etc using blogs was a much better and interactive option for the employees to stay connected. Why? As it was easier to reply back, comment, suggest on corporate blogs than to write a direct email to the seniors in the organization. Here what was found to at times pull down the participation in companies by employees, was lacking interest due to not fully understanding the use of blogging or how to blog etc. So we shared some insights on the power of Blogs and what we could achieve for few of our clients in terms of internal and external reach with a power packed SEO and a strong sense of interactivity using new age widgets and tools with the blog.

-          IT: Forums seemed to be extremely popular for IT pros to post queries and to get quick responses from users online. The only problem noted was it had limited know-how for professionals from other fields and thus poses a limitation to be popular across. The high side was the power of forums echoed with timely and at times even spontaneous solutions to problems irrespective of the company they belonged to and the place they worked from. Also, due to many IT pros already familiar with the benefits, this seemed to be a major need across IT industries who have not already implemented it in their organization. Some key points shared by the professionals were also that, unless made mandatory for their future career growth, very small percentage seemed to be making actual use of the in-house Knowledge resources (KR) available. Another concern noted by companies or seniors in the Management with respect to IT professionals was the huge time spent on online social sites by employees even after blocking net access via company resources either through Mobile phones or by using data cards.  Our views on this is very simple, engaging employees or team, peers to use KR and conduct weekly in-house contests using blog/forums or even facebook (for internal employees Only) and encouraging them to use these tools more by value adding it as incentives rather than a compulsion.

-          Intellectual Property Rights (IPR): The power of IPR was shared with one and all by the participant specialized from this industry. Examples and key points in terms of disadvantages of not having a Trademark or a Patent or Copyrights for your original works was put forth and the need for a ™ © ® etc was felt to only get more intense with so much of content being shared for free online. The core concern would be eventually to have protection for all your content and safeguard your intellectual properties. What was asked to the crowd was, what they wanted to know more to which they responded, that ‘they wanted to know what they could afford not to know about IPR’ for their brand, ideas or designs. Eventually, every professional from each Industry shared their ideas to make IPR branding itself a popular search online and promoting it to not only create awareness but encouraging users to have their brands and concepts protected. The bottom-line being, “whats Yours needs to be Yours.” We shared some key ideas of integrating Social Media Marketing platforms and mobile apps to create larger reach and awareness across corporate by using platforms like Linkedin, the power of SEO through social bookmarking and blogs etc for creating awareness for this Industry.

-          HR: Those in Human Resources (HR) have always been pro-people for obvious reasons. It was clear by the ideas and experiences shared by the concerned participant from HR industry that Online is not only a powerful medium but something that everyone willingly wants to be part of, especially on sites like Facebook and Twitter. The key idea is to find a controlled process to bring people together to share their concerns, growth strategies with their peers, superiors etc so as to be able to put a tab on the oldest concern of organizations which is employee attrition. Here we came up with some key solutions that would not only reduce attritions but also encourage employees referrals for job openings in the company using the digital media tools regularly, optimally and appropriately.

We then shared some interesting concepts, tools, productivity apps and showcased the following:

-       The power of the age old Search Engine Optimization (SEO) empowered with today’s technology tools in the field of PR today and what it could for Brands and industries across when used for more than just a page ranking process. It could help companies win  corporate battles online, reach messages across nations in a controlled and spam-free fashion, help companies generate actual leads used with the right mix of tools online.

-       QR code was discussed and with the increase in use of smart-phones globally, the participants had a fun time scanning a sample QR code generated from our end. Once they got a rush out of it, they shared some innovative ideas of how it could help keep customers engaged for Industries like Retail, Fashion, Restaurants, Education while adding lots of fun and value add for the Brands too.

-    Foursquare & its uses as an end user, for travelers, for those visiting new cities, country for the first time, for Marketing professionals, for Brands etc and we had few participants who checked in at out Office location to try out the apps too. It was fun, interactive and at the same time, everyone was eager to now check-in at foursquare special locations and try out the new app.

-       Using Gmail and its new features like labels, account filters etc and syncing it with your mobile phones for quicker response time with better time management.

-      Safety measures for Kids, teens while using social sites online – A must read for parents

-      Mobile security tools to keep spam, cookies, virus as far away as possible (Join us on Facebook for Regular Updates Click Here)

-      Search Engine Optimization for Your Website and basic guides

-      Best Corporate Purchases of Technology Products (Acer, Apple & Samsung Took the lead)

-      Internet browsers, the best and most popular (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox & Opera won the top three spots)

-      Productive Apps for iphones (Join us on Facebook for Regular Updates Click Here)

-      Resourceful Apps for Your Mobile and Desktop (Join us on Facebook for Regular Updates Click Here)

-      Fun, interactive and useful Apps for Your Android

-      Blackberry Apps, whats new and whats a must-have (Join us on Facebook for Regular Updates Click Here)

-   Other topics that were discussed were Gamification, Social Tools like Posterous and integrating it with Your FBML and Facebook Feeds on your website, social media quotient analysis, measuring ROI on Marketing campaigns, In-depth tracking and analysis with new age media tools etc.

Finally, the TechBrandsMeetUP concluded with a discussion on the latest buzz all around, the power of IPV6.

Ironically, during our YourSMQ Social Media Quotient Logo Launch event in March 2010 too, we discussed this as a matter of prime concern. Only, this time, we had a larger crowd already aware of the same.

Thank you all for your support and a special thanks to all the participants for making it so special & interactive! Looking forward to making the Third TechBrandsMeetUP Event a much bigger success on a larger scale with a target of at least 20 Industries participating in it!
