Social Media Quotient:Tapping the Social Media Marketing potential:

SocialMediaCampaign

Marketers today are beginning to understand the influence of this power packed market research and analytic’s tool to reach to a larger target audience across social networking platforms by optimally utilizing precise social media monitoring tools as per industry and organizational needs.

The power of analysis is not restricted to using a particular website or a single online tool to serve the growing ‘industry reach’ needs. Social media monitoring to acquire the right social media quotient allows you to research deeper into consumer insight, needs and preferences as over 500 million users go online across platforms globally expressing themselves more freely than before.

It gives immediate feedback, taps powerful response rates, gives ample time to get in touch, reach and respond back to save the customers going irate and many a times transforming a negative feedback to a powerful brand ambassador.

With larger number of users now clearly expressing their needs to share their experiences about a product / brand or service today, it’s becoming more and more important for the BRANDS to monitor them not as an individual campaign but as part of the social media process. Measuring the ROI for a social media marketing campaign is today combined with the goal of customization while touching base with complete consumer preferences and needs for a service or a product.

Simple words of ‘share’, ‘like’ ‘bookmark’ have today become a way of life for Brands & for branding a service.

With the number of social book-marking users, bloggers and social networking sites users growing tremendously everyday, its only wise for brands to get into the process of exclusively reaching the target users with a powerful, well planned and implemented social media marketing campaign.

Blogs replace Magazines with Social Media Marketing

connect online

That would be a powerfully misquoted statement, especially in today’s “give them all” technology served new age media world.

I recently read somewhere of the statement above and was utterly confused. Today the digital age and new media are here to work collaboratively and give every consumer what they are looking out for.

Let us look at two scenarios based on a B2B and B2C with a practical approach and perspective.

A top class executive from a big corporation today will prefer to go through the sites online probably during his lunch break of which he might have allotted his daily ‘surfing’ time to be not more than 5-10 minutes which too is on the higher side. Having worked at different levels of marketing & product departments with Directors, Presidents and departmental heads of MNC’s and corporate biggies, this is the one thing that I am extremely sure about. Here too their rigid schedule is made up of email alerts added to their daily dose of reading related to their industry and market so that they do not spend time searching online. Their schedule revolves around a set time every single day. Time is everything. Today we find them working while traveling to and fro from work in their automobiles. Yet, we find the subscription to corporate & industry based magazines being the highest from their group.

Why? Because underestimating the power of print is pure ignorance of the true power of real connect and reach.

Now looking at the second scenario & coming back to the daily consumer by shifting away from the corporate board room. The average consumer today feels comfortable looking at a print magazine at his time of leisure. As a matter of fact, we tend to ignore any ad based pop-up and flashy banners that ‘surf-up’ during our browsing time. Another point to look and give a deep thought is the power of the print media even today especially in third world and developing countries.

The chances of an average consumer looking at a print ad in a magazine and then browsing about it online are much higher than vice versa.

Why?

The age of technology & new media have also pushed across boundaries of providing one with massive information across industries. Today, I spend on an average reading about nine to ten thousand (10,000) pages of content and news information every single week across media’s. Still there is so much updating needed.

With all of these factors, the right way to reach a consumer today, be it a B2B or a B2C consumer is by blending in the traditional media with the new age technology and providing both to the consumer. A magazine today has much stronger power in communicating a message than a blog to an average household as it reaches and is delivered in hard copy in their hands. It adds up a trust about the company, about the team of professionals associated with the organization and gives one a form of assurance about the organization being real and not just another virtual company with a work from home concept who would be handling your brand or product.

The idea to cater to both the scenarios today would be to add a healthy amount of resourceful information in your magazine for local demographic distribution and use the power of online media for a much larger field zone with more content and resources.

As a generation gifted with the power of speed & timely information it is our core duty to today combine all that we can and leverage it to fulfill the needs of the advertiser and at the same time serve as a catalyst who not only evangelizes a brand but also caters to the consumer’s needs.

Blog rules, sites dominate, social networking is growing massively, but the power of a media tool works best when you have both the traditional media and the new age technology combined as one.

Make sure when you hand over your product or brand to any agency that they are not just another technically sound organization promising a higher seo for website and analysis, but understand the market, consumers and have a powerful presence too in the web today. Make sure to know if they themselves practice what they preach and if they do, they would have a much better chance to deliver than anyone else.

Go local, get global and stay connected. But most importantly make sure that in the race to reach a client across seas we do not miss out on a prospect next door who needs the same set of services too.

Go BRAND Yourself!

Give us your views on the same. We would love to hear from you.

PRESS evolving to ‘Press this’: In India

Press Evolution:Newspaper

By press in common parlance we usually refer to Printing press, but in journalistic & mass communication terminology, we mean print media such as newspapers, periodicals, magazines, news agencies, press syndicates and any such printed material.

The idea behind forming a press in terms of newspapers and similar related agencies has been to share public information, from the nation or the people themselves and create a powerful vehicle of expressions and information. Today, newspapers have evolved in terms of not only content but also the way it is presented to the mass across countries.

From the time of Maharajas (Kings) and before the period of Christ, we can see wall carvings, signs and stone art symbols across cultures and religions. Kings like Ashoka and Mughal emperors have made powerful use of these media for ages to keep the public informed and educated.

As wall carvings went to the next level of stone and sculptures with writings to newsletters  as manuscripts, the development of the printing press was gradually taking place. Soon enough India found its first official newspaper courtesy of James Augustus Hickey in the form of Bengal Gazette in the year 1780.

The first printing press was established in Mumbai in 1674, second in Madras and third in Calcutta in 1779. Hickey’s Bengal Gazette also known as the Calcutta General Advertiser began on 29^th January 1780. It was described beautifully as a ‘weekly political and commercial paper open to all parties but influenced by none’

The first two decades of the 19^th century saw rigid control of the Press by Lords Wellesley and Warren Hastings. In-spite of this, slowly the Indian readers were soon enough exposed to a very large number of printing houses in the form of newspapers and newsletters across Mumbai, Calcutta & Madras in the form of Darpan, Dig Darshan, Samachar, Friend of India etc.

During this period came the father of the Press industry revolution who raised the need, awareness and to give what the press very truly deserved, “the freedom of the press”, he was none other than Raja Ram Mohan Roy.

Soon enough there was established the first truly owned Indian newspaper by Gangadhar Bhattacharya which was also called as the Bengal Gazette. Rapid developments across languages soon evolved in the form of print press in Hindi, Marathi, Urdu, Gujrati, Tamil, Malayalam, Assamese, Punjabi in the later part of 1850’s. As another decade moved in with the war of independence breaking in, the press became more prominent, more popular and a much needed power tool for information and education for people in general.

When we look into the advantages behind a newspaper and such other print media, even if there is low subscription or reach in terms of actual sale of the IP of newspapers, magazine, newsletters etc. the readership finally goes high. Especially in a country like India where there is still a huge number of people who are not literate, the news spreads in the form of sharing information from person to person. So the power of PRESS is a revolution on it’s own.

Over decades as the most famous and influential newspapers such as Bande Mataram, Kesari, Maratha, Free Press Journal, Madras Standard, Bombay Chronicle etc kept creating waves, so were prominent influencer’s like the great Mahatma Gandhi, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Kasturi Ranga Iyengar etc associations with it.

The support for this medium of education and information became larger than life. Soon enough the influence to influence increased with technology contributing and forming a major role into the digital revolution of information sharing.

Today with millions of users across globally, India ranks high amongst users of internet and stands 2^nd across Asia and with more adding up every day.

One of the most popular forms of using press or print information across India today is through blogs and micro blogs. No wonder we find more and more newspapers and magazines going ‘online’ and being a part of the larger revolution of the ‘spot content generation & sharing era’.

Today press has taken a larger role of not only entertaining and educating but also of rapidly evolving with the passage of time. We will soon be seeing a lot more of micro blogging platforms and blogs presenting the power of Press to us.

So till then, press this, share and keep evolving & learning!

Things to know about this new Media, before you plan and calculate your social media quotient for your social media marketing campaign?

Social Media:What You need to know?

Social Media Marketing is connecting with the consumer at every level possible through online channels across multiple platforms. The idea is to use the power of this tool to capture “More than just Metrics” and to Humanize Your Brand. Every aspect of Social Media Marketing is clearly measurable and can be customized to suit organizational goals and requirements. It gives us the power of customer insights coupled with latest in technology and media tools for in-depth analysis and market research.

What you need to know about social media quotient and social media marketing before you implement it for your brand, product or services?

Firstly you need to ask whether this medium is for your Brand and if yes, how much of demographics and market penetration it can help you achieve.

Then, you need to focus on the following:

• How important is it for my brand?  - Measuring the ROI for Brand metrics
• Who am I planning to target? – Is there a science behind social media marketing?
• Who is targeting me already? – As in, do I only need to join in the conversation.
• My current Social Media Quotient
• Is there a value addition to my CRM and my other brand evangelist’s
• My planned social media quotient on a time-line
• If I need to focus on my goals, what are my priorities and how are they ranked?

Measuring Brand

Next, what you need to verify are:

• The organization or agency to whom I am planning to handover my brand conversations:
• How savvy are they really and are they practicing what they preach for their own brand?
• Are they present on multiple channels like on a Social Media Facebook page, Social Media Facebook Product Group, Social Media Twitter conversation prism, Social Media blogging service, social bookmarking tools like reditt, etc. and if yes, what is their level of conversation and quality of interaction. Ask them to present their own brief statistics in front of you for the above.
• What are the statistical tools they are using? You don’t need to know what they track as every SMM campaign is customized to suit your requirements and goals, but you need to know the power of the tool they have invested in.

Your Social Media Agency

Once you have an idea for the above, plan to connect at a higher level with your agency:

Join in their conversations across their Blog, Micro-blog, Social networking site, Forum, etc.

Ask them to give you a step by step process on “How to plan, design, implement, monitor and improvise” on the social media campaigns?

What is the core as for integrating the current creatives, PR, traditional methods used already, IP’s of the organization with the new media campaigns?

What channels, medium and process will suit your style the best?

Online marketing analysis

There is so much more conversation happening, if you would like to join in, tweet with us @techdivine or join our TD Studios Facebook group social media marketing services here & share your views with us at: socialmedia@techdivine.com
