The Marketing Landscape in 2011
The Marketing Landscape in 2011


• “Word of Mouth” was the first form of
  marketing.
• Word of mouth has ALWAYS been the
  most effective way of getting new
  business.
• People have always trusted their friends
  opinions.
Centurio Dry, it
   Hey Maximus, Poncius in      never lets me
front of me reckons I need a       down!
   new anti-perspirant, you
  always smell nice, what do
          you use?
The Marketing Landscape in 2011


Word of mouth never stopped being
important, but when mass media became
popular last century, brands could rely on
advertising to broadcast their message
at the world and word of mouth didn‟t
seem as important to some marketers
anymore.
TV got people’s attention
(AND TRUST)
You could tell people whatever you wanted,
because you knew they were paying attention…
No matter how blatant or irrelevant your message was,
people used to listen because advertising was interesting.
The Yellow Pages
  used to work
People used
  to read
   their
local paper
Don‟t get me
 wrong, advertising
is still an important
 way to tell people
 about your brand.

 Advertising isn‟t
     dead.
But the landscape has changed…
Ads are everywhere. In fact, people see
  and hear between 1,000 and 3,000
   advertising messages every day…

 87,600,000 throughout their lives…
We have reached a point where:

90% of people trust recommendations
          from their friends.

70% of people trust consumer opinions
            posted online.
    (Source: Neilsen Global Trust In Advertising Survey, 2009)
McKinsey and Co. estimate that 2/3
of the economy is now influenced
by personal recommendations…
People still watch TV, but they flick
  through the ads. They read the
  news online instead of on paper.

Recommendations and opinions
  for every product and service
  are now available on the
  Internet.

We don‟t rely on ads for
 information.
People obviously still talk to each other
 face to face, but the INTERNET has
   allowed conversations to spread at
  light speed around the globe and be
    heard by millions within minutes.
And the Internet is now the largest
mass-communication medium, by far…
Facebook has 12 million Australian users.
 Half of those check Facebook at least
 once EVERY day
13 hours of video are uploaded
   to YouTube every minute
There are more
 than 133 million
 blogs in the
 world (Source:Technorati)
Every single second of
  every single day,
  Twitter‟s 190 million
  users mention brands
  they LOVE and
  HATE.

AND Twitter is growing at
  a rate of around1382%
  per year

When I gave a similar
 presentation in 2009
 Twitter had 5 million
 users.
(Source: Twitter Search, Forrester Research)
People love forums
On The Lonely Planet Thorntree forums there are usually 1,000 users on
at any one time and so far there have been 23,000 conversations about
Australia
Tripadvisor
45,000,000 traveller reviews and opinions. 199 Gold Coast hotels and
apartments. 69 things to do, 689 restaurants.
People are talking about
 your brand right now.
Some people will love you
Some people won’t like you
But they are talking about you.
These days most big tourism brands now have a Twitter
      page and a Facebook account of course…
But will Facebook really get you more business?
What the hell do you actually say on Twitter?
And what’s the best way to start listening?
Let‟s find out
Facebook Business Pages
Facebook


•   World‟s biggest social network
•   12 million Australian users
•   Average user has around 130 friends
•   Everything people do on Facebook (uploading photos, or attending an event) is
    shared with all their friends. That‟s why marketers love it. It‟s „VIRAL‟
•   Half of Facebook‟s users log in at least once every day
•   It has replaced email between friends
•   Used to be an intensely private place, but businesses are increasingly becoming
    involved and people are expecting to see businesses on Facebook
•   Not having a Facebook business page these days is like not having a website
•   Facebook makes it very easy to create a business page
•   It has a fantastic, cheap, targeted advertising program
Facebook Demographics
Should your business have a Facebook page?


•   Hell yes
•   It‟s free
•   It‟s easy
•   You will have interesting information to share with people
•   Treat it like a newsletter
•   It‟s a place to show people you care about your customers
•   Anyone with a Facebook account can setup a business page
Account vs. Page vs. Group vs. Community


•   A Facebook account is a personal profile attached to your own name.
    Accounts are intended for personal use.
•   Like most things intended for personal use, if you only use them for personal
    reasons, you won‟t get into trouble.
•   Personal accounts allow you to build a personal profile listing your interests,
    upload personal photos, connect with your friends and send messages to your
    friends.
•   You need a personal account to create a business page
Account vs. Page vs. Group vs. Community


•   A Facebook page is an official Facebook profile of something.You can make an
    official Facebook profile of a business, a celebrity (even if they‟re a very minor
    celebrity), a charity, or any other organisation.
•   Facebook pages are intended to be setup and run by official representatives of
    a brand.
•   When people visit your page for the first time they‟ll see a button which says
    „Like‟. People interact with your brand online by „liking‟ you and by clicking the
    „like‟ button, it‟s their way of saying they‟re a fan of what you do.
•   When people are fans of your brand, they can get notified when you have
    news or update your page.
•   Pages can be linked to ads and they‟re the best way of using Facebook for a
    business.
Account vs. Page vs. Group vs. Community


•   A Facebook community is what you need to setup if you‟d like to create a
    community of people who are interested in something. Like „stepping on
    crunchy leaves‟ or „Katy Perry‟.
•   Community pages are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, anyone associated
    with the topic, but Facebook users can „like‟ them in the same way they like
    official pages.
•   A community page might be a good idea as a complimentary marketing
    strategy for your business page.
     – For example, if you were a winery you might create a „Shiraz Lovers‟ community
       and sponsor it.
OK, fair enough, what are some goals to aim for then?


Goals to aim for

•   Get people to „like‟ your Facebook page
•   Get people to interact with you on your page
•   Create an community of people interested in what you do (either your
    business or your industry)
•   Get people to tag themselves in your photos
•   But more importantly, get their email address (Facebook may not be popular
    for ever)
•   Get people talking about you to their friends
•   Get your events appearing on people‟s walls
Social media marketing for the tourism industry
How to Get Facebook Fans


There are two ways to get fans on Facebook.

1.   Be famous or awesome and people will just naturally seek you out. Justin
     Bieber, for example, is famous but not awesome and he has 15,000,000
     Facebook fans. „Not being on fire‟, for example, is awesome but not famous.
     More than 8,000 people like not being on fire. Family Guy (the TV show) is
     both famous and awesome. Family Guy has 17,000,000 Facebook fans.
How to Get Facebook Fans


There are two ways to get fans on Facebook.

2.   Give people some sort of incentive to like you. It‟s marketing 101 here. Bribes
     work. Unless you‟re famous, or awesome, don‟t think that people will
     gravitate to you because you‟re nice/pretty. They need an incentive. Facebook
     isn‟t that different to an email newsletter really. The same methods that get
     people to sign up for email newsletters work for Facebook pages, here are
     some things to try:
How to get people to like your business on Facebook


•   Give people exclusive discounts for being Facebook fan. Real ones. Good ones.
    Actual exclusive ones.
•   Provide people with the latest news about your organisation.
•   Give them something to do when they like you. The Barbie page is a great
    example. Once you like the Barbie page you get to play fun games.
•   Create and foster a community (eg. http://www.facebook.com/pollyboutique)
•   Have events
•   Invite your friends and link to your Facebook from your website (eg.
    http://www.charlottereeves.com.au/home.html)

•   Tell people about the „suggest a friend‟ button (example)
•   Cross-promote. Find other similar Facebook pages and offer to tell people
    about them if they do the same for you.
•   ADVERTISE, especially to fans of your competitors
Social media marketing for the tourism industry
How to get people to interact with you on Facebook


•   Give them rich content with a customised tab (like Hilton‟s)
•   Give people a reason to tag themselves in your photos (like Big Cat Reality)
•   Be interesting so people want to follow you (like Bushells)
•   Ask questions which prompt a response (like Bubble O‟ Bill)
•   Tell people at events that the photos will be on Facebook
•   Offer incentives for people to talk about you
•   Create a „place‟ for your business and encourage/incentivise people to „check
    in‟ and upload photos. All their friends will then see where they are.

Facebook Usernames


•   Your Facebook username is the URL (web address) people type in their
    browser when they want to load your page. If you don‟t get one, you end up
    with a string of letters which looks something like this:
    http://www.facebook.com/pages/yourpagename/91749616734
•   It‟s easy enough to get something a bit sexier though. All you need to do is get
    at least 25 people to „like‟ your business page and then go to
    http://www.facebook.com/username/. You‟ll then be prompted to choose a
    page you want to create a username for.You can pick pretty whatever you
    want, as long as it‟s available and not generic. You can‟t change the name of the
    page later though, so be careful. Get it right the first time.
Your Brand’s Personality on Facebook: What to Say


•   You need to be prepared to engage people in conversation. They‟ll want to talk
    to you.
•   Know what your brand sounds like. Choose a personality.
•   Create a social media comms schedule with key dates and events (eg. footy
    finals, school holidays) and plan around them.
•   Tell fans who they‟re talking to and when (eg. Bob 9am-5pm).
•   Start conversations. Ask questions!
•   Ask advice from your fans.
•   People love a poll.
•   Who are your brand‟s friends? Do you have a CSR program? Link to charities
    you support.
Be ready for Criticism


•   Creating a Facebook page and then not engaging is rude.
•   Be aware that people might use your Facebook page to criticise you. But don‟t
    be scared.
•   Ensure you have a company social media policy with guidelines on what to say.
•   Anticipate potential negative comments and have a course of action to follow.
How to Move People away from Facebook


•   At the end of the day, getting someone to like you on Facebook is cool for a
    bit, but sooner or later, you‟re going to want them to buy something.You need
    to get them off Facebook to do that.
•   Link off to your website with specials.
•   Make sure you don‟t use Facebook as your only marketing strategy.
•   Someday, something else will be the next big thing.
•   The most important thing you can do with a Facebook fan is get
    their email address.
•   The best way to do this is with a custom landing page.
Tabs and Landing Pages


•   One of the reasons MySpace failed is because it looks like an absolute pile of
    dog breakfast. As soon as it launched, kids figured out how to (badly) pimp
    their profiles and suddenly the web looked like it was 1995 again. Facebook
    doesn‟t let you format your profile the same way, but it does let you create
    customised tabs on business pages which you have a lot more design control
    over.
Tabs and Landing Pages


•   You would be stark-raving mad to not create a tab for your business and use it
    as a landing page.
•   Put all the stuff you‟d usually put on a Google AdWords landing page on a
    Facebook tab.
•   Get people‟s email addresses.
•   Create a call to action. Sell. Create intrigue.
•   Offer something more. It‟s basically a mini-website on Facebook so go nuts.
•   You need to know a bit of html code to make things happen, but any web
    designer worth their salt these days should be able to help.

Facebook Advertising


•   At the moment Facebook advertising is probably one of the best, most cost-
    effective ways of promoting your business online.
•   If you know what you‟re doing, you can literally show your ad to 1 million
    people for less than a thousand dollars.
•   You can pay by the click, or you can pay per thousand impressions.
•   It‟s scaleable, cheap and effective.
•   You make an ad and then show it to people based on their age, sex and
    interests. It‟s a no brainer.
Facebook Advertising


Here are some handy tips for your Facebook ads:
Facebook Advertising


•   Have a goal for the ad – is it to get more fans? Is it to sell something?
•   Incentive. Incentive. Incentive.
•   Discounts sell. The bigger, the better.
•   Advertise to fans of your competitors. Bingo.
•   Keep your ads fresh. Change the pics regularly (iStockPhoto, CompFight etc.)
•   Don‟t just send people from an ad to your wall or website homepage.
•   Link your ads to a unique landing page (eg. www.racq.com.au/facebook) and
    use a funnel to track conversions from there.
•   Sex sells.You need to get people‟s attention with that little photo. Don‟t be
    distasteful or inappropriate or your ad will get banned, but yes, sex does
    indeed sell.
•   Cheesy stock photos don‟t sell. People see hundreds of ads a day. If it looks
    like every other ad they saw that day, they won‟t pay any attention.
Facebook Advertising


•   Your logo is boring. Unless you‟re famous.
•   Tracking ads is tricky. Facebook doesn‟t seem to talk properly to Google
    Analytics, expect discrepancies.
•   Pay per click, not for impressions (you‟ll get heaps of impressions anyway
•   Think outside the square when you‟re targeting interests. People who need a
    wedding photographer aren‟t the ones listing „photography‟ as in interest.
    They‟re the ones who are „engaged‟
•   Bid the maximum amount to ensure you get the best placement
•   Can you put your phone number in the ad (so you don‟t pay for the click)?
•   More fans is often a good idea, but might not mean more money. If you‟re a
    restaurant in Main Beach you might just want to offer a discount for
    mentioning the ad (for example).
•   Have a call to action. Give them a reason to click.
Facebook Advertising Case Study: Pacific Fair


•   Created a landing page tab with a call to action
•   Offered an incentive for people to like the brand
•   Created ads targeting fans of competitors and fashion
•   Backed it up with a campaign on Sea FM to help spread the word
•   Result: 500 new people to the fashion mailing list in a week
Twitter
What is Twitter?


•   Micro blog
•   Lets people say what they‟re thinking and share information in 140 characters
    or less
•   Is, most of the time, a complete pile of crap
•   But it‟s an amazing listening post
•   And it‟s easily searchable.You can find people based on their geographic
    location.
•   You can get a feed of people talking about your brand (or city, or whatever)
•   Great way for businesses to update people with news and offers
How to Use Twitter


•   http://search.twitter.com/advanced
•   Treat it as a company newsletter
•   Keep an eye on competitors
•   Monitor the local area for people asking for referrals
•   Follow people who are interested in what you do
•   Engage key influencers

YouTube
YouTube


•   World‟s biggest and most popular video sharing website
•   Virtually any „how to‟ search in Google returns a YouTube video in the top 5
    results
•   People with personality have become famous on YouTube
•   Most videos get less than 1,000 views
•   Weigh up the ROI before investing in a video
•   But if you‟ve got a camera, why not give it a crack?
•   Best way to explain complicated things on your website
•   Great for virtual tours

Blogs


•   Don‟t start a blog
Blogs


•   Don‟t start a blog unless you have at least two hours a week to update it with
    interesting information and/or news about your business.
•    Pretty much everything has been said and no-one has time to read.
•    You‟re better off reading other people‟s blogs and commenting on them.
•    Use Twitter instead. It‟s much easier and quicker.
•    Or if you‟ve got lots of great content, use Tumblr, or consider Facebook (eg.
    Princess Polly and TBG)
Social Media Monitoring
Social Media Monitoring


•   Until you know what is being said about your brand, your competitors and
    your industry, social media is a waste of time
•   Until you can track the success of what you‟re doing, social media is a waste of
    time
Social Media Monitoring


The Basics

•   Start with a Google alert
•   Then set up a Twitter search
•   Check out socialmention.com
•   Facebook will tell you when someone updates your page
Social Media Monitoring


Paid Tools

•   There are lots of paid social media monitoring tools out there ranging from a
    few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month.
•   Check out Radian6 and Buzz Numbers
•   BUT they‟re expensive and they don‟t weed out irrelevant information for you
•   Dialogix is a tool we‟ve developed especially for the tourism industry which
    only shows you relevant data
•   It rates the sentiment of what is being said
•   Shows you what people are saying about competitors
•   And it gives you feeds from TripAdvisor

Creating a Social Media Strategy
Creating a social media strategy for your business


Key Considerations

•   What‟s your staff policy on social media? (126 examples at
    http://socialmediagovernance.com/policies.php)
•   What are your KPIs?
•   How will you measure response? Have you got the right social media
    monitoring in place?
•   What is your brand‟s personality? What does your voice sound like?
•   What does your brand want to say?
•   Who will do the talking?
•   How will you handle negative responses?
Getting the Most out of Your Website
Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO)

•   It‟s the process of refining a website so it has the best chance of achieving its
    goal (for example a booking, a sale or an email newsletter signup)
•   There‟s no point in doing any marketing unless your website has been properly
    optimised to convert people to sales
•   CRO can increase conversions by 50 - 600% in some cases
•   Unoptimised sites conversion can be as low as 0.1% - 3.1%
•   CRO is often looked at last when it should be first.
•   What are your site goals? - Sales, leads, download something, read your article,
    sign up for your newsletter, click on your ads etc.
•   CRO, Content Strategy and SEO are interlinked. SEO brings the traffic, CRO
    Converts the Traffics and both involve utilising a content strategy.
CRO – Ten Actionable Tips

1.   Make credible pages that look trustworthy and legitimate.
     –   Great logo
     –   No spelling mistakes
     –   Clear and modern design
     –   Legitimacy cues e.g. Social Media, Security logos, Awards, Testimonials etc.
2.   Make navigating through your site easy and clear. Use sensible navigation
     titles.
3.   Use "benefit oriented" language and headings giving strong value
     propositions. “Feel the ocean breeze” – “Closer to the beach”.
4.   Layout – Ensure the most important offers, booking forms and selling points
     are in prime locations (top left, left side and center)
5.   Ensure there‟s a clear call to action (CTA) for your website (or Facebook
     page)
CRO – Ten Actionable Tips

6.   Use images correctly:
     –     Hero Shots of products or services
     –     Happy people using products, multiple angles, before and after etc.
     –     Avoid stock images where possible
     –     Make images clickable and include descriptions where appropriate
7. Add a video. Studies show a video can increase conversions by 80%. Make sure it
    isn't set to auto-play.
8. Use interactive content:
     –     Flash applications e.g. interactive maps, interactive product information, 360 views etc.
     –     Calculators attached to lead form e.g. savings calculator, cost calculator, get a quote
           etc.
     –     Comments and feedback forms
     –     Search functionality, chat functionality (where appropriate)
9.  Incorporate user testing into your design process for your website. Do a six foot
      test on your landing page/homepage. Also use free user testing services such as
      "5 Second Test" or "Click Test".
10. Cull unnecessary content and learn to "get to the point".

Eight ideas for getting the most out of your website


•   Make the site worth spending time on. The more time they spend on your site,
    the more likely they are to make a booking. Add features which keep them
    around.
•   Answer any Frequently Asked Questions people would usually ask. Don‟t give
    them a reason to go away thinking „this isn‟t for me‟ because you haven‟t
    explained the benefit properly.
•   Can you include gift certificates?
•   Video
•   Have you got a brilliant map showing where you are in the best possible light?
•   Is your unique selling proposition obvious?
•   Know exactly what your competition is doing online.
•   You‟re competing with WotIf and other booking sites – show that you have
    personal service AND the right price

  • 12. The Marketing Landscape in 2011 • “Word of Mouth” was the first form of marketing. • Word of mouth has ALWAYS been the most effective way of getting new business. • People have always trusted their friends opinions.
  • 13. Centurio Dry, it Hey Maximus, Poncius in never lets me front of me reckons I need a down! new anti-perspirant, you always smell nice, what do you use?
  • 14. The Marketing Landscape in 2011 Word of mouth never stopped being important, but when mass media became popular last century, brands could rely on advertising to broadcast their message at the world and word of mouth didn‟t seem as important to some marketers anymore.
  • 15. TV got people’s attention (AND TRUST)
  • 16. You could tell people whatever you wanted, because you knew they were paying attention…
  • 17. No matter how blatant or irrelevant your message was, people used to listen because advertising was interesting.
  • 18. The Yellow Pages used to work
  • 19. People used to read their local paper
  • 20. Don‟t get me wrong, advertising is still an important way to tell people about your brand. Advertising isn‟t dead.
  • 21. But the landscape has changed…
  • 22. Ads are everywhere. In fact, people see and hear between 1,000 and 3,000 advertising messages every day… 87,600,000 throughout their lives…
  • 23. We have reached a point where: 90% of people trust recommendations from their friends. 70% of people trust consumer opinions posted online. (Source: Neilsen Global Trust In Advertising Survey, 2009)
  • 24. McKinsey and Co. estimate that 2/3 of the economy is now influenced by personal recommendations…
  • 25. People still watch TV, but they flick through the ads. They read the news online instead of on paper. Recommendations and opinions for every product and service are now available on the Internet. We don‟t rely on ads for information.
  • 26. People obviously still talk to each other face to face, but the INTERNET has allowed conversations to spread at light speed around the globe and be heard by millions within minutes.
  • 27. And the Internet is now the largest mass-communication medium, by far…
  • 28. Facebook has 12 million Australian users. Half of those check Facebook at least once EVERY day
  • 29. 13 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute
  • 30. There are more than 133 million blogs in the world (Source:Technorati)
  • 31. Every single second of every single day, Twitter‟s 190 million users mention brands they LOVE and HATE. AND Twitter is growing at a rate of around1382% per year When I gave a similar presentation in 2009 Twitter had 5 million users. (Source: Twitter Search, Forrester Research)
  • 32. People love forums On The Lonely Planet Thorntree forums there are usually 1,000 users on at any one time and so far there have been 23,000 conversations about Australia
  • 33. Tripadvisor 45,000,000 traveller reviews and opinions. 199 Gold Coast hotels and apartments. 69 things to do, 689 restaurants.
  • 34. People are talking about your brand right now.
  • 35. Some people will love you
  • 37. But they are talking about you.
  • 38. These days most big tourism brands now have a Twitter page and a Facebook account of course…
  • 39. But will Facebook really get you more business?
  • 40. What the hell do you actually say on Twitter?
  • 41. And what’s the best way to start listening?
  • 44. Facebook • World‟s biggest social network • 12 million Australian users • Average user has around 130 friends • Everything people do on Facebook (uploading photos, or attending an event) is shared with all their friends. That‟s why marketers love it. It‟s „VIRAL‟ • Half of Facebook‟s users log in at least once every day • It has replaced email between friends • Used to be an intensely private place, but businesses are increasingly becoming involved and people are expecting to see businesses on Facebook • Not having a Facebook business page these days is like not having a website • Facebook makes it very easy to create a business page • It has a fantastic, cheap, targeted advertising program
  • 46. Should your business have a Facebook page? • Hell yes • It‟s free • It‟s easy • You will have interesting information to share with people • Treat it like a newsletter • It‟s a place to show people you care about your customers • Anyone with a Facebook account can setup a business page
  • 47. Account vs. Page vs. Group vs. Community • A Facebook account is a personal profile attached to your own name. Accounts are intended for personal use. • Like most things intended for personal use, if you only use them for personal reasons, you won‟t get into trouble. • Personal accounts allow you to build a personal profile listing your interests, upload personal photos, connect with your friends and send messages to your friends. • You need a personal account to create a business page
  • 48. Account vs. Page vs. Group vs. Community • A Facebook page is an official Facebook profile of something.You can make an official Facebook profile of a business, a celebrity (even if they‟re a very minor celebrity), a charity, or any other organisation. • Facebook pages are intended to be setup and run by official representatives of a brand. • When people visit your page for the first time they‟ll see a button which says „Like‟. People interact with your brand online by „liking‟ you and by clicking the „like‟ button, it‟s their way of saying they‟re a fan of what you do. • When people are fans of your brand, they can get notified when you have news or update your page. • Pages can be linked to ads and they‟re the best way of using Facebook for a business.
  • 49. Account vs. Page vs. Group vs. Community • A Facebook community is what you need to setup if you‟d like to create a community of people who are interested in something. Like „stepping on crunchy leaves‟ or „Katy Perry‟. • Community pages are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, anyone associated with the topic, but Facebook users can „like‟ them in the same way they like official pages. • A community page might be a good idea as a complimentary marketing strategy for your business page. – For example, if you were a winery you might create a „Shiraz Lovers‟ community and sponsor it.
  • 50. OK, fair enough, what are some goals to aim for then? Goals to aim for • Get people to „like‟ your Facebook page • Get people to interact with you on your page • Create an community of people interested in what you do (either your business or your industry) • Get people to tag themselves in your photos • But more importantly, get their email address (Facebook may not be popular for ever) • Get people talking about you to their friends • Get your events appearing on people‟s walls
  • 52. How to Get Facebook Fans There are two ways to get fans on Facebook. 1. Be famous or awesome and people will just naturally seek you out. Justin Bieber, for example, is famous but not awesome and he has 15,000,000 Facebook fans. „Not being on fire‟, for example, is awesome but not famous. More than 8,000 people like not being on fire. Family Guy (the TV show) is both famous and awesome. Family Guy has 17,000,000 Facebook fans.
  • 53. How to Get Facebook Fans There are two ways to get fans on Facebook. 2. Give people some sort of incentive to like you. It‟s marketing 101 here. Bribes work. Unless you‟re famous, or awesome, don‟t think that people will gravitate to you because you‟re nice/pretty. They need an incentive. Facebook isn‟t that different to an email newsletter really. The same methods that get people to sign up for email newsletters work for Facebook pages, here are some things to try:
  • 54. How to get people to like your business on Facebook • Give people exclusive discounts for being Facebook fan. Real ones. Good ones. Actual exclusive ones. • Provide people with the latest news about your organisation. • Give them something to do when they like you. The Barbie page is a great example. Once you like the Barbie page you get to play fun games. • Create and foster a community (eg. http://www.facebook.com/pollyboutique) • Have events • Invite your friends and link to your Facebook from your website (eg. http://www.charlottereeves.com.au/home.html) • Tell people about the „suggest a friend‟ button (example) • Cross-promote. Find other similar Facebook pages and offer to tell people about them if they do the same for you. • ADVERTISE, especially to fans of your competitors
  • 56. How to get people to interact with you on Facebook • Give them rich content with a customised tab (like Hilton‟s) • Give people a reason to tag themselves in your photos (like Big Cat Reality) • Be interesting so people want to follow you (like Bushells) • Ask questions which prompt a response (like Bubble O‟ Bill) • Tell people at events that the photos will be on Facebook • Offer incentives for people to talk about you • Create a „place‟ for your business and encourage/incentivise people to „check in‟ and upload photos. All their friends will then see where they are.
  • 61. Facebook Usernames • Your Facebook username is the URL (web address) people type in their browser when they want to load your page. If you don‟t get one, you end up with a string of letters which looks something like this: http://www.facebook.com/pages/yourpagename/91749616734 • It‟s easy enough to get something a bit sexier though. All you need to do is get at least 25 people to „like‟ your business page and then go to http://www.facebook.com/username/. You‟ll then be prompted to choose a page you want to create a username for.You can pick pretty whatever you want, as long as it‟s available and not generic. You can‟t change the name of the page later though, so be careful. Get it right the first time.
  • 62. Your Brand’s Personality on Facebook: What to Say • You need to be prepared to engage people in conversation. They‟ll want to talk to you. • Know what your brand sounds like. Choose a personality. • Create a social media comms schedule with key dates and events (eg. footy finals, school holidays) and plan around them. • Tell fans who they‟re talking to and when (eg. Bob 9am-5pm). • Start conversations. Ask questions! • Ask advice from your fans. • People love a poll. • Who are your brand‟s friends? Do you have a CSR program? Link to charities you support.
  • 63. Be ready for Criticism • Creating a Facebook page and then not engaging is rude. • Be aware that people might use your Facebook page to criticise you. But don‟t be scared. • Ensure you have a company social media policy with guidelines on what to say. • Anticipate potential negative comments and have a course of action to follow.
  • 64. How to Move People away from Facebook • At the end of the day, getting someone to like you on Facebook is cool for a bit, but sooner or later, you‟re going to want them to buy something.You need to get them off Facebook to do that. • Link off to your website with specials. • Make sure you don‟t use Facebook as your only marketing strategy. • Someday, something else will be the next big thing. • The most important thing you can do with a Facebook fan is get their email address. • The best way to do this is with a custom landing page.
  • 65. Tabs and Landing Pages • One of the reasons MySpace failed is because it looks like an absolute pile of dog breakfast. As soon as it launched, kids figured out how to (badly) pimp their profiles and suddenly the web looked like it was 1995 again. Facebook doesn‟t let you format your profile the same way, but it does let you create customised tabs on business pages which you have a lot more design control over.
  • 66. Tabs and Landing Pages • You would be stark-raving mad to not create a tab for your business and use it as a landing page. • Put all the stuff you‟d usually put on a Google AdWords landing page on a Facebook tab. • Get people‟s email addresses. • Create a call to action. Sell. Create intrigue. • Offer something more. It‟s basically a mini-website on Facebook so go nuts. • You need to know a bit of html code to make things happen, but any web designer worth their salt these days should be able to help.
  • 75. Facebook Advertising • At the moment Facebook advertising is probably one of the best, most cost- effective ways of promoting your business online. • If you know what you‟re doing, you can literally show your ad to 1 million people for less than a thousand dollars. • You can pay by the click, or you can pay per thousand impressions. • It‟s scaleable, cheap and effective. • You make an ad and then show it to people based on their age, sex and interests. It‟s a no brainer.
  • 76. Facebook Advertising Here are some handy tips for your Facebook ads:
  • 77. Facebook Advertising • Have a goal for the ad – is it to get more fans? Is it to sell something? • Incentive. Incentive. Incentive. • Discounts sell. The bigger, the better. • Advertise to fans of your competitors. Bingo. • Keep your ads fresh. Change the pics regularly (iStockPhoto, CompFight etc.) • Don‟t just send people from an ad to your wall or website homepage. • Link your ads to a unique landing page (eg. www.racq.com.au/facebook) and use a funnel to track conversions from there. • Sex sells.You need to get people‟s attention with that little photo. Don‟t be distasteful or inappropriate or your ad will get banned, but yes, sex does indeed sell. • Cheesy stock photos don‟t sell. People see hundreds of ads a day. If it looks like every other ad they saw that day, they won‟t pay any attention.
  • 78. Facebook Advertising • Your logo is boring. Unless you‟re famous. • Tracking ads is tricky. Facebook doesn‟t seem to talk properly to Google Analytics, expect discrepancies. • Pay per click, not for impressions (you‟ll get heaps of impressions anyway • Think outside the square when you‟re targeting interests. People who need a wedding photographer aren‟t the ones listing „photography‟ as in interest. They‟re the ones who are „engaged‟ • Bid the maximum amount to ensure you get the best placement • Can you put your phone number in the ad (so you don‟t pay for the click)? • More fans is often a good idea, but might not mean more money. If you‟re a restaurant in Main Beach you might just want to offer a discount for mentioning the ad (for example). • Have a call to action. Give them a reason to click.
  • 79. Facebook Advertising Case Study: Pacific Fair • Created a landing page tab with a call to action • Offered an incentive for people to like the brand • Created ads targeting fans of competitors and fashion • Backed it up with a campaign on Sea FM to help spread the word • Result: 500 new people to the fashion mailing list in a week
  • 81. What is Twitter? • Micro blog • Lets people say what they‟re thinking and share information in 140 characters or less • Is, most of the time, a complete pile of crap • But it‟s an amazing listening post • And it‟s easily searchable.You can find people based on their geographic location. • You can get a feed of people talking about your brand (or city, or whatever) • Great way for businesses to update people with news and offers
  • 82. How to Use Twitter • http://search.twitter.com/advanced • Treat it as a company newsletter • Keep an eye on competitors • Monitor the local area for people asking for referrals • Follow people who are interested in what you do • Engage key influencers
  • 84. Twitter Case Study: Star Gardentown Cafe • Problem: New cafe, needs business (sales) • Key Influencers: Coffee Lovers, Vocal Early Tech Adopters, Business Leaders, Local Press
  • 91. YouTube • World‟s biggest and most popular video sharing website • Virtually any „how to‟ search in Google returns a YouTube video in the top 5 results • People with personality have become famous on YouTube • Most videos get less than 1,000 views • Weigh up the ROI before investing in a video • But if you‟ve got a camera, why not give it a crack? • Best way to explain complicated things on your website • Great for virtual tours

  • 97. Blogs • Don‟t start a blog unless you have at least two hours a week to update it with interesting information and/or news about your business. • Pretty much everything has been said and no-one has time to read. • You‟re better off reading other people‟s blogs and commenting on them. • Use Twitter instead. It‟s much easier and quicker. • Or if you‟ve got lots of great content, use Tumblr, or consider Facebook (eg. Princess Polly and TBG)
  • 99. Social Media Monitoring • Until you know what is being said about your brand, your competitors and your industry, social media is a waste of time • Until you can track the success of what you‟re doing, social media is a waste of time
  • 100. Social Media Monitoring The Basics • Start with a Google alert • Then set up a Twitter search • Check out socialmention.com • Facebook will tell you when someone updates your page
  • 101. Social Media Monitoring Paid Tools • There are lots of paid social media monitoring tools out there ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month. • Check out Radian6 and Buzz Numbers • BUT they‟re expensive and they don‟t weed out irrelevant information for you • Dialogix is a tool we‟ve developed especially for the tourism industry which only shows you relevant data • It rates the sentiment of what is being said • Shows you what people are saying about competitors • And it gives you feeds from TripAdvisor • FREE trial • www.dialogix.com.au
