Citation preview
Social Media Marketing
Why is it different?
Traditional Marketing Approaches• 4P’s – Product, Price, Placement,
Promotion• 7P’s of Service Marketing – Add People,
Process, Physical Evidence• The Marketing Process– Situational Analysis– Marketing Strategy– Marketing Mix Decisions– Implementation & Control3
None Mention The Customer
•“People” is mentioned in the 7P’s of Service Marketing
•Aren’t people are important to those using the 4P’s?
•The AIETA flow lends nothing to customer needs
•“Implementation & Control” is condescending and presumptuous
The Cluetrain Manifesto
• Published in 1999
• Written by a collaborative of Chris Locke, Rick Levine, Doc Searls and David Weinberger
• Finally asked “What about the people?”

The Cluetrain Manifesto• Highlighted Theses
– Markets are conversations.– Markets consist of human beings, not demographic
sectors.– Conversations among human beings sound human. They
are conducted in a human voice.– Already, companies that peak in the language of the pitch,
the dog-and-pony show, are no longer speaking to anyone.– Public relations does not relate to the public. Companies
are deeply afraid of their markets.– Companies need to come down from their Ivory Towers
and talk to the people with whom they hope to create relationships

10 Years Later, We’re Finally Getting It• Marketers Must
– Realize the pathway to a customers wallet is through the customer, not your product, conversion or marketing mix decisions
– Learn to speak the language of people, not corporations
– Learn it’s no longer about persuasive messaging as a result of consumer insights, but conversations about consumer insights that lead to better products

Be Human As Organizations
So How Do We Do It?
Brian Oberkirch• Serve communities, don’t build them
• Participate.
• Let a thousand flowers bloom.
• Close the gap.
• Be quiet. Listen. Ask.
• It’s in there. (Product as marketing)
• Little things are huge.

Tara Hunt• A good marketer …
– is a Community Advocate– Knows brands aren't built in
boardrooms, ad agencies or brainstorming sessions
– plans a little, but changes a lot– rewards community members who stand behind
them– gets involved in the community – is her/his own client – never takes her/himself to seriously

It’s Just Like Personal Relationships
• Always A Work In Progress• Once You Stop Working At It, It Will Stop
Working• Communication (Listening & Speaking) Is
Imperative• Honesty & Complete Transparency Necessary• Can’t Exist Without Trust• Mutual Attraction• Spontaneous Consistency
11
What Can We Do Today?• Stop calling them your target. Call them your customers. Better
yet, call them your friends.• When talking to a friend of your company, think of them as a real
friend and react to their input or concerns as you should.• Find a way to have every call, email and otherwise in-bound
message from a friend returned in a timely fashion.• Pull together a group of your friends to sit-in on planning
sessions (R&D, marketing, media) for next year.• Stop thinking this is hard. Despite what you may think, you are
human. Act like it. Encourage others in your company to do the same.
