Does everybody need a social media strategy?

Does everybody need a social media strategy? | SOCIAL MEDIA, what we think about! | Scoop.it

As the hype of social media begins to die down and companies re-evaluate their efforts with a steely-eyed look at the cost versus benefits, I think it is time to re-visit this important question: Does every company really need a social media marketing plan?

 

This is a very complex question. So to help answer it, I looked at a few companies with brands that might not be natural fits for a social media presence. Adult diapers. Coal. Hazardous waste clean-up. Playing cards.

 

Let’s explore this important question by taking a romp through some unusual case studies that stretch the boundaries of social media marketing thinking.

Martin Gysler's insight:

Through this six different companies we can learn a lot about social media strategy and if everybody needs a social media strategy.

 

In my sense, social media is a great place to keep in touch with his customers and prospects and give another dimension in life. We can also do it in a small frame.

 

What is your feeling?

Social media measurement: how to develop a framework for tying your social media performance to your business goals so you can measure your social media results.

 

How much time are you spending on social media? Can you tell if it’s helping sales?

 

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a framework for measuring the impact of your social media efforts?

 

That’s where Susan Etlinger’s new research for the Altimeter Group comes into play. Susan did qualitative research with 60 social media marketers and vendors to understand how businesses currently measure their social media performance.

 

Her goal: to develop a framework for tying social media performance to business goals.

 

NOTE: Because Susan’s original research targeted enterprise-level companies, I interviewed her to add some small business insights. The following comments combine results of the research and that interview...

How We Master Connectivity The Core Essence of Social Networking

How We Master Connectivity The Core Essence of Social Networking | SOCIAL MEDIA, what we think about! | Scoop.it

"Without understanding connectivity, the basis of human connections, network theory, contextual intelligence, any business leader unable to grasp those things will be lost." [Warren Bennis]

 

The 12 habits of highly connective people has been the single most read and shared post I have written in the last couple of months. Literally.

 

Why it worked

 

Part of the reason is the structure of the post.

 

It starts with a great story told vividly by a master storyteller and maker who has earned tremendous respect and attention in the business and tech communities. Two communities I am becoming very involved with and hope to bring closer to each other...
