Questions
If you have any questions, don’t bother asking because I don’t really care if you have any questions, what your opinion is or what you think. If you ask a question I will ignore you
How many companies treat their customers that way? How ‘social’ is your organisation?

What road are we on?
![Page 23: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Our View on Progress Made
Interest and enthusiasm has grown rapidly
Channels are being set up
But lack of strategic planning leads to problems down the line - resourcing, content, customers, performance measurement, business impact and ROI
A broadcast mentality prevails…….
![Page 24: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Is there something fundamentally wrong with our
approach to Social Media?
![Page 25: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Something Wrong…..
Are we using social media as just another PR/marketing channel for broadcasting messages AT customers telling them how good we are?
Is anyone listening anymore?
Have the rules of businesschanged?
![Page 26: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Be Social
New ‘mindsets’ are required to be successful in social media
‘BE SOCIAL BEFORE
DOING SOCIAL’
![Page 27: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Be ‘Customer Led’
Talking WITH rather than AT your customers is the core foundation of a successful social media strategy
The basis of a good conversation is to listen first
![Page 28: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

From Tripadvisor
• It's getting old, the rooms are unappealing and it will never be more than a business hotel
• Being a Sofitel hotel we expected something quite 'flashy' unfortunately we were let down. The rooms, although comfortable and clean, were not of the standard we expected and were definately not what we expected after looking at the photos on the hotel's website.
• Booking my stay via the Sofitel website after a pleasant experience at several other Sofitel locations over the past 2 years with my new job I was looking forward to a 5 star luxury stay after a stressful business trip. My expectations were reasonable, however certainly not met by this hotel

The rules of the game have changed
The 5 key things to remember about Social
Media
![Page 57: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
1. It’s a Revolution
A fundamental and revolutionary changein online behaviour, expectations and the online customer experience. The end of the ‘read only’ internet
Content generated by the network for the network
We are no longer passive consumers of content/brand messages
![Page 58: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
2. It’s Social
A conversation not a broadcast platform
Conversations are taking place relevant to your brand – are you listening?
![Page 59: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The Connected Consumer
![Page 60: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
3. Power Shift
Social media empowers customers, empowers the network
We no longer control the brand The brand becomes the customer
experience of the brand – experiences that are widely
shared online
![Page 61: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

4. Declining Effectiveness
Declining effectiveness of traditional approaches to sales and marketing Does anyone listen any more?
We are no longer passive sheep waiting to be ‘driven’ to your web site
If you treat us like sheep, we will tell youto ‘flock off’.

5. The End of Business as Usual
New ‘mindsets’, new business approaches and new performance measures are required
NOT a broadcast medium. Its about listening to and engaging with customers, partners, your community, your tribe
This is something we are not very good at doing. We prefer telling people how good we are
![Page 66: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Content
• Quality is critical – add value
• Adopt an ‘outside-in’ rather than ‘inside-out’ approach
• Sales messages OK but subtle and in moderation
• Beware of gaffes
• Not just publishing content but also customer service
![Page 123: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Content

podcast etc– Own/Others Content– Sources of Inspiration– Channel Integration/Fit

Customers
Build the Community– Be strategic – size matters, but ‘who’ is just as
important– Use existing communications channels– Use the community building tools of each
channel– Start by following, engaging then be followed– Role of ‘Key Influencers’ is critical– Avoid ‘get follower fast’ schemes
![Page 127: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Conversation
• Social media is ‘marketing as a conversation’ with your network. It is not about one way broadcasting
• Actively encourage interaction e.g. blog posts end with request for comments/feedback; on Twitter use Reply, RTs often; on Facebook/Linkedin – participate in groups/forums
• This has time and resource implications
![Page 128: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)

Performance Measurement
Should be undertaken at three main levels:
1. Individual social media channels
2. Overall ‘buzz’
3. Business Impact
Using the 6Is approach
![Page 133: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/133.jpg)
Individual Channels
Individual Channel Performance– the effectiveness/success of each channel
benchmarked against agreed targets for the ‘6Is’ i.e. Involvement, Interaction, Intimacy and Influence
– most channels provide easy to access statistics for measuring each ‘I’ to a very high degree of accuracy
![Page 134: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
Social Media ‘Buzz’
Wider Social Media Performance
– monthly or quarterly reporting of the overall ‘buzz’ created by your SM activities using appropriate Social Media Monitoring tools
– this will show the impact of your SM activities on others and other channels
– it measures the volume of mentions, trends over time, which channels are driving your buzz, who is taking your message further, through which channels, and what affection or affinity they are showing, and so on
![Page 135: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
Business Impact
Underlying Business Performance– the performance of each social media channel and
the overall ‘buzz’ created are ‘lead’ rather than ‘lag’ measures
– in a social media era, they are the main ‘drivers’ of future business performance
– the final level of performance monitoring, therefore, is linking your social media activity to overall business goals and objectives e.g. enquiries, sales or customer loyalty. Is social media achieving your ultimate business objectives i.e. ‘lag’ measures?
![Page 136: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)
Performance Measurement Tools
A range of tools are available at each level:
• Individual Channels – e.g. Facebook Insights; Klout; Kred
• Overall ‘Buzz’ e.g. Topsy Analytics; Viralheat, other paid SMM tools
• Business Impact e.g. Google (Social) Analytics; SCRM

Organization, Resource and People Issues
• Organization, resource and people issues sit at the bottom of your SM Balanced Scorecard NOT because they are the least important issues to address. In fact, the exact opposite is true. The success of your social media strategy is very much dependent upon appropriate decisions being made in the areas listed:
![Page 138: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)
Organization, Resource and People Issues
• Do we have the right organisational ‘culture’ and ‘mindset’ for Social Media? ‘Be social before doing social!’ Is the right organisational and decision-making structure in place?
• Has agreement been reached on resource allocation?
• Who will be responsible for your social media activities?
• Do you have agreed Social Media Policies and Guidelines in place covering ‘Proper Use’, ‘Content Management’, ‘Customer Response Times/Quality’ and ‘Legal’ aspects?
![Page 139: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/139.jpg)
Social Media Management Do’s and Dont’s
![Page 140: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)
Do’s and Don’t’s
Don’t Be a Showoff– Your posts should add value to the ‘customer’ – it’s
not about ‘me,me,me’
Don’t Use Poor Grammar or Spelling– Don’t try to be too cool
Don’t Get Too Personal (business users)– Keep the conversations warm but professional; it’s
what business users expect and anything else comes off as creepy
![Page 141: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/141.jpg)
Do’s and Don’t’s
Don’t Automate– It’s OK to schedule posts for specific times but don’t
automate everything. Social media is about personal/brand engagement not blatant promotion e.g. don’t automatically DM new twitter followers with a sales message - it’s seen as spam.
Don’t Leave Air in the Conversation– Respond as quickly as possible – within hours not
days.Don’t Overpost
– Don’t flood your followers’ timelines
![Page 142: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
Do’s and Don’t’s
Do Shout Out to Users Who Mention You– Thank those making favourable comments; be very
careful how you respond to any negative commentsDo Monitor Keywords and Sector Trends
– And respond when appropriateDo Make an Informative Profile
– It’s the first point of contact so critical. Tell what you will be posting about
Do Hang Out Where Your Customers Hang Out– Don’t always expect them to come to you
![Page 143: Strathclyde MBA Social Media Class, Bahrain August 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070313/55492948b4c905b44c8bd9a7/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
In Summary……..‘Social Media Planning Pays’
