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.

Things to Rememberabout Social Media
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Key Things to Remember
• It’s social– A key feature is online democracy – with content being provided
by the network for the network – represents a fundamental and revolutionary change in online behaviour, expectations and the online customer experience. The end of the ‘read only’ internet
• Power shift– Social media empowers customers, empowers the network.
Recognizing this shift is the cornerstone of future success • Declining effectiveness of traditional approaches
– Does anyone listen to sales/brand messages anymore?
ENERGISE2-0.COMSource: The Future of Advertising, APA, 17/02/09 as published on Slideshare (www.slideshare.com)
ENERGISE2-0.COM
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Key Things to Remember
• Pull v push– Consumers/users decide what information they wish to access
• New ‘mindsets’ are required– Marketing as a conversation with your customers/network–
dialogue not broadcasting– But this is something that most of us are not very good at doing.
We prefer ‘telling’ people• SM ‘winners’ and ‘losers’
– ‘Winners’ will be those organisations who fully utilise the interactive power of Web 2.0 technology for engaging with and energising customer and network relationships
ENERGISE2-0.COM

Bob Dylan
Come gather 'round peopleWherever you roamAnd don’t criticise
What you can't understandYour sons and your daughters
Are beyond your commandYour old road is
Rapidly agin‘Then you better start swimmin’
Or you'll sink like a stoneFor the times they are a-changin’

What do the fans think?
Online survey of Celtic fans (2008)Dated but still interesting
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Celtic Survey
• There are over 50 ‘Celtic Minded’ fanzine sites. These provide alternative information channels for the fans, competing with the official Celtic web site
• The top 5 fanzine sites have more than 51,000 registered
users. Over 13 million messages have been posted highlighting the vibrancy of the groups
• Content analysis reveals that fans are discussing a wide range
of issues, many of which are relevant to the business/marketing aspect of the Club
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Celtic Survey
• The online survey, completed by 356 respondents within the first 48 hours of going live, showed that 50 per cent of fanzine members were ‘professional’ people, students (11%), skilled manual (21%), self employed (6%), unemployed (4%) or others (7%). This is substantially different from the demographic profile of fanzine members normally reported in the mass media (‘the great unwashed’)
• The survey revealed a high level of demand among fans for greater Web 2.0 functionality on the official Celtic club site – RSS feeds (58%), discussion forums (66%), blogs (70%), Club podcasts (71%) and User Generated Content (41%)
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Celtic Survey
• Major changes taking place in the way in which fans accessed information about the Club
– 85 per cent stated that fanzine sites were an ‘Important’ or ‘Very Important’ source of information, TV (57%), the official Club web site (50%), general sports web sites e.g. Sky (42%), printed newspapers (29%), newspaper web sites (23%)
• 84 per cent stated that they were reading fewer newspapers and using more online information sources; 77 per cent stated that they were accessing the official Club web site less and the fanzine sites more often

Five Key Areas

‘Getting There’• Evaluate Your Social Media Performance and ROI• Organization, People and Resource Issues
ENERGISE2-0.COM
‘Be Customer Led’
Three key questions:
• Who are our customers, who do we wish to engage with?
• Where do we find them ‘hanging out’ on social media?
• How can we best engage and energise them?

Develop Your Social Media Strategy and Action Plans for ‘Getting There’
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Use a Simplified Balanced Scorecard
• Will ensure that the social media actions and initiatives you take are fully aligned with and supportive of your overall business goals and objectives; that KPIs are agreed for monitoring and evaluating social media performance, business impact and ROI; and all key success factors are considered, especially the organization, people and resource aspects critical to successful strategy implementation
• A Scorecard approach can also be very useful for internal and external communications – a simple framework to present social media goals, objectives, key actions and initiatives to colleagues, partners and other stakeholders
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Social Media Balanced Scorecard
• Not ‘paralysis by analysis’. By providing an agreed framework to follow, the Balanced Scorecard considerably speeds up strategy development and implementation
• The steps involved can be captured in a Social Media Strategy Map
• Five key questions to address……
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Social Media Balanced Scorecard
• What is the overall social media vision for your organization?
• What are the key objectives and targets to be achieved?
• Who are your customers?
• Key Actions and Initiatives
• Organisation, Resource and People Issues

Organization, Resource and People
• Organisation, 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
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Monitor and Measure
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Monitoring the Conversations
• Use Social Media Monitoring Tools to monitor online conversations relevant to your brand
• No or low cost tools such as Google Alerts, Yahoo Pipes, Social Mention, IceRocket, Blogscope, Blogpulse and ViralHeat
• More expensive and sophisticated tools such as Radian6, Alterian SM2, Sysomos Heartbeat and Infegy SocialRadar
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Monitor and Measure
• To ensure that your SM strategy delivers a return on investment, it is important to monitor and evaluate on-going performance benchmarked against agreed objectives, KPIs and targets
• Performance evaluation should be undertaken at three main levels using the ‘4Is’ approach….
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Performance Measures - The ‘6Is’
Involvement – network/community numbers/quality, time spent, frequency, geography
Interaction – actions they take – read, post, comment, reviews, recommendations
Intimacy – affection or aversion to the brand ; community sentiments, opinions expressed etc
Influence – advocacy, viral forwards, referrals and recommendations, social bookmarking
Insight Impact
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Monitor and Measure
• Individual Channel Performance– the effectiveness/success of each channel benchmarked
against agreed targets for the ‘4Is’ 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
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Facebook Insights
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Facebook Insights
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Monitor and Measure
• 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
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Monitor and Measure
• Underlying Business Performance (Insight and Impact)– 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?
