61
• Strategy?
• Brand Personality
• 1. Research / Listen / Monitor
• wine community and influencers
• 2. Build real relationships with real people
• Sharing their stuff, mentioning them
• 3. Create and find great content
• Measure Resonance - does the conversation start, are you retweeted - how long does it last?
• Key Difference with Facebook: No EdgeRank in Twitter World, it’s all in the moment, RT, influencer RT
• Klout / Kred / Peer Index scores are only indicatorsSource: Ruth Burr, SEOMoz; Brian Solis
“What’s interesting?” for your group of followers
• Explain how to do something
• search for question words - who, what, where, when, why, is there, why isn't there - answer questions
• Sharing
• Break news
• Provide the bizarre (pics)
• Introduce people to other people
• Design tweetable moments e.g. events #tag
• More sharing, more thoughtful, more stories

Metrics
• Anecdote
• Correlation
• Multi-variate testing
• Links and Tagging
• Integrated (e.g. Social Connect)
• Direct Commerce
• SME - just count and compare ;)

Metrics: Links and Tagging

• Campaign = specific promotion

Metrics: Integrated
• Social Connect
• EdgeRank tracker
• Facebook Insights
• mostly “Impressions” not Actions
• Real engagement = Comments, Shares, full size Photos, Video plays, Event joins - not Likes
• Talking About This includes Likes
• Best stat is “Lifetime Post Engaged Users”
• Viral data polluted by impressions not actions
65
Metrics: Social Commerce and the simplest way
• Social Commerce
• e.g. ecwid: Facebook Commerce analytics
• SME could just count and compare
• Your Hand: finger analytics ;)
66
Metrics
• Metric Calculation
• This Period vs Previous Period, Competitors vs You
• Sentiment: % negative vs neutral vs positive
• Twitter: RTs and @ mentions, how long to they last?
• Remember Influencers Amplify

Mobile Summary
• Most of our target market will have a smartphone and/or tablet
• 39% of core wine drinkers use wine related apps
• Does a mobile app help you achieve a business objective?
• Make sure you at least have a mobile website
• Pages depend on your strategy
• Apple design guidelines are clear but not followed by many wineries
• I recommend Native first (and then Web rather than Android?)
• Specify exactly what you want
105
Wine SoMoLo: the Local
• Social is connected to Mobile which is connected to Local
• Location Based Services
• 1. Match unmet demand with unused supply eg Groupon, Facebook Offers, OpenTable
• 2. Location Based Social Network eg FourSquare, Facebook local group, Facebook Check-Ins
• 3. Local information, search and listings eg Yelp, FourSquare, Google+ Places
• Local Ads
• General too expensive now need to focus on local results town by town
• Local Search
• Any hint of a local search results in general results being reduced and local results dominating the page
