Power Tools of Social Media

Social Media Marketing

This was probably the biggest entry into the online media space in the last three to five years. In the year 2010 Social Media Marketing services have seen a fabulous response owing to the measurable rate of returns, process of marketing brand & monitoring them at the same time with great control and making the most needed aspect of online media space possible ie.

Connecting with the user & engaging them to interact with the brand.

Social Media Marketing made possible the entry of Social Media Quotient as a power packed marketing research and management tool for Brands & Organizations today for the Company Board & Management to take this tool more seriously than ever. The power of blogs using applications like WordPress has been wonderful for brands using the platform with the right set of technique and skills too.

Why:

Simple reasons: Its more measurable than your regular emailer campaigns, web banner ads, online reviews & a routine ad words campaign as it brings together all those metrics to measure consumer interaction, customer feedback & insights and gives you the ability to constantly improvise at a very affordable online marketing campaign cost.

Most importantly, customized social media marketing campaigns today make it possible to deliver realistic goals to clients for their brand, products and services and at the same time blend in traditional media with new age media tools across various platforms.

Massive developments in 2010:

Mobile Integrated Social Media Marketing

Social Media Marketing & Monitoring tools gifted the power to combine traditional media with new power tools for online marketing research and management and at the same time gave the power to combine mobile integrated social media marketing campaigns to further leverage the power of todays growing mobile internet users across platforms.

Android Powering Technology today Socially

Also the impact of Android based applications into the mobile space made it a fun experience for users to leverage the connect and for the Organizations, more reasons to make their presence online much more powerful and essential.

Power of Blogs with wonderful plugins from WordPress related application websites made using Blogs more than just a place to voice out opinions but also to get wonderful and sincere customer feedback and loyal readers for life for brands leveraging the power of rich content with them through this medium.

With more and more applications from mobile related tools like from the iPhone, Blackberry, Amazons Kindle, iPad & Android going SOCIAL the availability of these online marketing tools is only going to see massive boost in the year 2011.

How to Leverage:

Humanize Your Brand

Connect with Your consumers by Humanizing your brand. Social Media Marketing is a well planned process that can be customized across industries to also adapt to cross cultural environments across countries if well planned, designed, implemented and measured. So its very important to use the right set of tools to not only increase market penetration but also to monitor and safeguard your brand online constantly and improvise for best results.

Brand Monitoring

Brand You Monitoring

This has been one of the most important part of a Social Media Marketing campaign this year as the more one talks about your brand, care needs to be taken with the quality of conversations too. Its always better to have a 1,000 loyal quality followers than a million discussing or posting content that is harmful for your brand in the long run if left uncontrolled as part of the online conversations.

So make sure you have powerful ways to leverage your Online CRM to converse with your brand and customer connect across multiple platforms with great quality and damage control.

Creative Design styles

The year 2010 saw a very unique side of design styles appreciated by consumers. The stress from Brands and customers online this year was much less on “just design” and much higher on usability and ease of sharing content using that design style. For eg. HTML emerged victorious compared to any other web design application and platforms for the ease to leverage powerful SEO campaigns and flexibility to connect much larger suite of applications as part of the web design and style process. The year 2011 would be thus much largely about:

Layout style: Simple and user friendly

Design style: In tune with Users needs to share content easily

Design technique: Users seem to be much less demanding in terms of core design as before and seem to be stressing originality in layouts with simplicity to converse in todays online marketing conversation prism. So the design technique has to be definitely the one in 2011 that can let each user be a real-time Brand Ambassador for any product, services or Organization and at the same time be rewarded in a way or the other.

IMPORTANT Guides & Tips for a Powerful Connect across Industries Online Using the Power of Social Media:

Simple Ideas, Guides to do more with Your Brand today:

FOR:

• Retail Industry:

Fashion, style statement, pictures, latest trends & designs, users votes on new arrivals, customer feedback and Brand mentions about your line of design accessories: If all of these make sense to you as a Retail brand then what you need are simple engaging conversations customized & controlled as part of creative marketing ideas for your online customer today.

• Banking Industry:

More than a conversation online, more than a social media influence, what you need is a control of your brand mentions negative influences about your services, industry and products from your customers grieving & irate online. They can make or break your brand as we are talking about Your products and services that are directly dealing with your customers hard earned money. So make sure you have a strong Social Media connect online and at the same time have conversations that can “generate”  comments and interactions from your customers especially in case of new product launches for Small and medium scale business, Youth and the high investing clients. You need your Social Media campaigns to reach beyond your average conversations and metrics to be completely planned and customized to meet your needs across various demographics and it needs to be well executed too.

• Hospitality Industry:

That’s a rush, literally. The fast paced hospitality industry has customers across every possible age group and its never too late to get someone love your cuisine irrespective of your culture, history and style of food. All people need are flavors with a great dining experience that takes them away from their homes for that hour or so. The experience needs to be “connecting” while the food, something that would make your customer feel, I am getting value for every single dime that I have spent here. For this, not only do you need continuous feedback from your customers, but you need them to mention about your product online across platforms of twitter, review sites, food dining experience, location based target marketing spaces where people searching for good food can be connected with and their attention drawn towards your food experience. They need to be aware of and constantly rewarded for their brand mention and sharing experiences when they talk well about your products online and at the same time catered to and not tried to be pushed into talking well about your brands. Its food, they need to feel the flavors and the love while dining at your restaurant. That’s exactly what an online Social Media Marketing experience should help you gather for them.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Social Media Marketing (SMM), Social Media Quotient (SMQ) & BRAND ‘YOU’:  Social Media Monitoring,Measuring & Connecting integrated with a powerful SEO!

Understanding the Index of search engines, algorithms and the mathematics behind it is a key aspect of any social media marketing campaign coupled with a social media monitoring technique and a powerful SEO process. For readers, writers and the end user that is the audience of that particular content, the process needs to be equally refreshing too.

The reason being, any popular search engine be it, Google, Bing, Yahoo etc is getting more and more closer to giving the user an AI experience even in its searches and from what we hear, the search engine experience is only going to get richer, quicker and better for users.

For an optimized SEO integrated with your product based and or target based social media quotient measuring SMM campaigns for clear understanding of your SMQ, one needs to be sure of maximizing the ‘Index-ability’ factor across pages. So which are the possible pages that you would want an SEO campaign for:

• Your Social Networking sites
• Your Micro-blogging sites
• Your Blog(s)
• Your Website
• Your Media Channel platforms

The above platforms form at least  a basic part of any successful and qualitatively measurable online channel platforms for planning a SMM (Social Media Monitoring / Social Media Marketing) campaign for Your Social Media Quotient analysis and insights.

Does this mean that creating content across platforms ensures a powerful SEO?

The answer is a simple ‘NO’.

Like we quoted earlier, the mathematical calculations, various algorithms and more form part of a serious social media marketing campaign for your product / service optimum SEO.

• These include the keyword analysis, core product / category phrase density, url optimization, quality and quantity of content indexed. This needs to be carefully planned across platforms too.
• Having a sitemap always helps.
• Ensuring your place across Google Places with owner verified listing is also a great value add.
• Lesser frames on your website, lower use of flashy content animated and lesser use of tables with the least possibly complex and or numbered urls is the first way to begin your steps towards a successful continuous SEO process.

Ask us for a Free SEO report for a precise integration with a Social Media Marketing campaign from our end.  Write to us: socialmedia@techdivine.com or Visit us here if you are interested for a well designed, planned and implemented Powerful customized EXCLUSIVE FOR CORPORATES ‘Social Media Monitoring campaign’ for your product, brand and business.

New age Media Advertising

The nature of consumer engagement today is radically changing. Focus on specific program initiatives, pre-defined goal oriented plans and working across media to customize and get integrated reusable and utility based digital and traditional content for the end user (Customers, Audience, Stakeholders etc) is the core today.

Advertising and marketing have grown and matured over the years. The idea has become more than clear that sticking on to traditional media or at the same time, pushing the new age media to ‘purely sell’ is not going to get the marketer even an ounce of value addition or brand equity.

Value addition for the clients can be in terms of higher market penetration, better product positioning, increase in volume sales and volume market growth. The need here is to shift from a pure marketing oriented approach or a selling approach to connecting with the consumer by humanizing your brand with higher quality services and being an active part of today’s powerful communication prism across the globe.

When we talk about the needs today, the consumer has ideas that he is looking forward from his product. Similarly the audiences have expectations from their services to go beyond providing what’s been promised. In such cases, consumers are the main open source to get insights about what the market needs, to touch that common nerve appeal.

So let’s grow beyond simply advertising and marketing to a new world order of conversation prism by focusing across channels based on market, insights and need.

The idea to begin with, in this new age digital content era is to be where your consumer today is.

So keep conversing and stay connected.

Let us know of your views on the same.

Regards

Social Media Marketing Techniques

Social Media Marketing: Factors influencing online marketing for You!

With the advent of newer media and technology tools, social media marketing is growing in every field and industry.

Why so?

The user is everywhere and the customers are all around. So that is where you need to be there too.

Why has social media marketing today become so prominent and focused on?

It’s simple. When you are a brand (existing) new or old at micro or macro level there are conversations happening online about your product and services in real-time. So the question here simply is, would you rather have your competitor cash in on the conversation or would you yourself like to be a part of the interaction prism and channelize the leads your way?

Moreover, one needs to be clear of few things about social media marketing:

• It is not about social networking websites alone
• It is not about just having a blog or a forum page
• It does not matter if you have a zillion fans only

So what makes the real deal about social media marketing work?

Firstly, one needs to be clear that “People buy from people” and secondly, one needs to clearly understand that you cannot sell to peoplewho are online to stay connected with friends and peers .

So, DO NOT SELL, but instead CONNECT with your customer.

Let them develop the trust in you and be the brand ambassador for you instead. It goes a long way.

So what does a social media quotient measure from a social media marketing campaign?

When you are able to humanize your brand by becoming one in conversation with your target group (which means you need to reach the right target group, even online) you can deliver (giving is the beginning of building a humanized brand to show you care) concrete (be realistic and precise in what is being offered) and credible (earn the trust) easy to consume information, resources and help.

Reaching through forums, blogs and other facebook communities, linkedin groups, twitter platforms and such other relevant to “YOUR PRODUCT/SERVICE” locations will get you to your customer. So make sure you use not too many but at least two or three platforms to spread across and connect.

What can you expect from your social media marketing team?

• Firstly, make sure you assign them the right goals which are on top of your organizational priorities.
• Then make sure your ‘team’ whether in-house or an external agency has the relevant credentials (Professional background and academic excellence) to back up the product and or service online.

Why?

It’s your brand out there. So make sure the one handling it, understands it well enough.

So a good branding experience is essential to nurture the brands and at the same time a wonderful academic credential into the field of marketing research and management ensures your product is not going into the hands of just another “oversized” advertising agency or a “freelancer” trying to prove they are part of the online new age marketing media.

With this also make sure that before the social media marketing campaign is planned, designed and implemented, the team or agency are showing enough ‘types’ of data tracking, brand monitoring and product analysis demographics from their end.

You can ask for a brand analysis or better, their process to plan the campaign for your product in a detailed step by step flow with details of what will be tracked. If the answer is web hits or just ‘members’ to your social networking groups, you know you are not with the right set of team.

What you need here is someone who can assess not only your brand but also your top priority goals which can be anything from building up a powerful presence across online to launching a product across specific platforms and offer it in a realistic and reasonable timeline. It’s your brand, your product in their hands so make sure it is in safe hands.

Should you be investing on any sort of adwords of different CPC (Cost per click) models?

It depends on your budget. To start with, essentially do not invest in tools where control over clicks is not in your hands. For eg. If you have invested even a small sum of Rs.10/- (INR) per click on a keyword and if you have a set of online competitors who might even for the fun of it make possible 1000 garbage clicks (garbage clicks are those which your competitors or other random users click and land on your site a day which is of utterly no use for which you anyway end up paying) in a span of lets say 30 days in the month, you are ending up paying Rs.10,000/- (INR) per month for literally nothing.

So invest rather in resourceful knowledge providing forums, blogs which may be maintained by professionals in the field with credentials and testimonials to vouch for the same. This will not only be economical but also give you an up-start in the field of online brand building in a powerful way for a long term purpose.

Thus, proper exposure to brand and marketing both, professionally and academically, measurable statistics relevant to your industry and product information, with a powerful SEO knowledge presence would make up for a team of social media marketing consultants whether in-house or external.

At least you know, you have invested in the right place for something that’s going to keep you connected and growing both brand wise and presence wise.

How else would you be able to justify your ROI (return on investment).

So make sure you understand completely the factors that go into influencing the social media marketing techniques for measuring your true social media quotient across platforms.

Right opportunity, technological resource, brand monitoring, reaching the right target, positioning your brand the correct way, optimizing the utility factor of these power packed online marketing tools as a business function with set of pre defined goals and timelines ensures social media marketing for you as not a fashionable fad but a resource that you cannot afford to ignore.
