services / Social Engagement Strategy

Social media has irrevocably transformed the marketing industry; wheras previously marketing communications were essentially a one way process, with feedback limited to focus groups and the occasional cocktail party, websites like Facebook and Twitter have turned it into a continuous and higly public conversation. While this type of honest and transparent dialogue with customers may seem daunting, the rewards can be lucrative.

Instead of relying on focus groups, now all of your customers are your focus group, allowing you to float potential ideas before they are implemented and gain vaulable insights on where you may have gone right or wrong in the past.

Wheras previously if you made a decision that displeased your customers you might only find out about it much later, after the situation has escalated into, say, cancelled subscriptions or angry online campaigns. By listening to what people are saying on an ongoing basis - and engaging with them to work out any issues - you can get to root of future problems before they snowball out of control.

Conversely, by listening to what your customers are saying on social networking sites and engaging them in conversation, you can learn about new ways people are using your product and tap into new and unexplored markets.
