Social media
IntroductionWhen marketers want to reach users of social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, or Cyworld, they have two choices: buy advertising or start a viral campaign.New research by Harvard Business School professor Sunil Gupta suggests that viral may be the way to go in these connected worlds. But first it's important to understand both who influences purchase decisions in online communities and which groups of users can be influenced.

KFC launched a successful mobile advertising campaign using augmented reality. When users held their phones over KFC packaging, it would overlay animations and additional information about products. Augmented reality allowed KFC to interact with customers in an innovative new way that took advantage of mobile capabilities. The presentation also discussed trends in mobile advertising, with banner ads declining in effectiveness and opportunities growing for ads integrated into mobile apps, games, and social media newsfeeds tailored to each user. Overall, mobile offers huge potential for targeted advertising but also challenges to engage users on a small screen.

Social media marketingSocial media marketing is a recent component of organizations' integrated marketing communications plans. Integrated marketing communications is a principle organizations follow to connect with their targeted markets. Integrated marketing communications coordinates the elements of the promotional mix—advertising, personal selling, public relations, publicity, direct marketing, and sales promotion—to produce a customer focused message.[1] In the traditional marketing communications model, the content, frequency, timing, and medium of communications by the organization is in collaboration with an external agent, i.e. advertising agencies, marketing research firms, and public relations firms. However, the growth of social media has impacted the way organizations communicate with their customers. In the emergence of Web 2.0, the internet provides a set of tools that allow people to build social and business connections, share information and collaborate on projects online.
In order for organizations to most effectively use social media for marketing, they must recognize and embrace that the emerging platforms are additional resources to complement and expand their entire marketing arsenals rather than replacements for existing marketing initiatives. Among the goals for which social media can be used are:Customer service, e.g. direct response to customer complaints
Broadcasting updates, announcements, news, e.g. additional PR resource
Promotions

Social media marketing is the use of social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter to market products and services to customers. Companies use social media to engage with customers, gain market insights, generate leads, and increase sales. Effective social media marketing requires setting goals, choosing the right platforms to reach your audience, creating engaging content, measuring your results, and adjusting your strategy based on feedback. While social media provides opportunities to reach many potential customers, marketers must also address challenges like identifying the best platforms, declining engagement rates, advertising costs, and competition from other businesses.

Behind the scenes look at the organization
AdvertisingHow organizations use social mediaSome organizations actively use social media in their marketing plan to keep the brand fresh in customers' and non-customers' minds. Linking with an organization on a social media site allows the organization to stay connected with individuals who may or may not be customers instead of relying on them to initiate a contact only when they are looking for additional information.Social media is an enormous advertising platform. Organizations are able to target individuals based upon specific interests shared on social media. For example, if an individual watches a YouTube video about jogging, a shoe company can serve an ad, or a coffee company can target ads to individuals who post on social media sites that they are tired. Social media has allowed advertisers to refine ad nets extremely narrowly.
Successful campaignsDellDell Computer has a strong blogging presence with its Direct2Dell forum. Not only is this a chance for bloggers to learn about new products but it has also helped improve the organizations reputation. The amount of negative blogs dropped from 49% to 22% since the start of the site. Dell was able to connect with the customers and immediate address their concerns, comments, and questions through the blog. Dell also made its presence felt on micro-blogging site Twitter through its @DellOutlet account and earned around $3 million sales from Twitter by offering exclusive discounts to its followers
Facebook decided to use these demographics to their advantage. Facebook legally owns all the rights to the information that is posted on their website, and created an advertising program that targets the users of Facebook individually by grouping that information together and targeting each individual person with advertisements that will catch their eye. This strategy created a buzz in the advertising world. Previous to this type of advertising, online advertising had not been very effective due to pop-ups and banner's lack of substance. Most people found these annoying and or distracting when using the internet. With Facebook targeting each individual on its website, 400 million users strong, it created a target market for every company. Therefore if a bridal company wanted to advertise on Facebook they could literally make sure their ads were only seen by those whose status says engaged or dating depending on how broad they wanted to go. This allowed Facebook to start using the pay-per-click strategy that many advertisers’ shy away from because of the lack of impact on internet users

This document outlines a social media marketing plan project for a fictional fishing apparel company called Dabbing Gear. It provides instructions for completing different parts of the project, including inventing the company, analyzing competitors, and creating content plans for blog posts, Twitter, and Facebook. For the competitor analysis part, three competitors - Columbia, Huk Performance Fishing, and Shark Zen - are evaluated on their social media presence and strategies. Sample blog content and Twitter posts are also provided as examples. The overall goal is to demonstrate an understanding of effective social media marketing strategies for a business.

How it worksWith the pay-per-click strategy in effect for Facebook, every time a Facebook user clicks on an advertisement, that company pays Facebook for the ad. Studies have shown that over sixty nine percent of online shoppers use social media like Facebook not only to reach out to people, but also to see what's popular and what are some of the in things. The original pay-per-click strategy was not effective because users did not want to be taken to another page and look at something that did not appeal to them. With Facebook's new targeting system their ratio of clicks per user is astoundingly higher than any other competitor, even Google. This makes sense since the ads appeal to the fact that they are engaged or have an interest in fashion.
Social media
Engagement AdsFacebook also created something called Engagement Ads to not only reach out to the advertisers, but also to the Facebook user. This allows three unique experiences for the Facebook user and for social media's. First you can comment on the advertisement which allows the user to say what they like or dislike the ad or the product. These comments can be seen by other Facebook user's friends. Allowing their social group to know that this either sucks or is great and they need to try it. Secondly, gifting friends online with small, free e-gifts has become a popular thing to do. Advertisers can now create free e-gifts for users to give to their friends. Lastly, users can become friends of products and organizations that they like, which links them to the Facebook page of the company that they love. This puts them in a pool of people all over the world who enjoy similar products and allows companies like Apple to see what their target audience actually is.

Advertising through AppsAnother major addition to marketing on Facebook is applications. Applications are some of the most used items on Facebook to date. A great example of an application is Farmville. Farmville, which has over 80 million users, has more users than Twitter currently has on its website. The power of such an application on Facebook and its advertising is unheard of. Organizations can create in-game items that help the user's farm, and every person who visits that farm will see the item, advertisement, of the company on that person's farm. This is an effective marketing strategy because not many people see it as “marketing” but rather the company helping you in the game. It also is effective because there is such a wide range of users in Farmville and everyone who visits their site will see the ad.

  • 12. Facebook decided to use these demographics to their advantage. Facebook legally owns all the rights to the information that is posted on their website, and created an advertising program that targets the users of Facebook individually by grouping that information together and targeting each individual person with advertisements that will catch their eye. This strategy created a buzz in the advertising world. Previous to this type of advertising, online advertising had not been very effective due to pop-ups and banner's lack of substance. Most people found these annoying and or distracting when using the internet. With Facebook targeting each individual on its website, 400 million users strong, it created a target market for every company. Therefore if a bridal company wanted to advertise on Facebook they could literally make sure their ads were only seen by those whose status says engaged or dating depending on how broad they wanted to go. This allowed Facebook to start using the pay-per-click strategy that many advertisers’ shy away from because of the lack of impact on internet users
  • 14. How it worksWith the pay-per-click strategy in effect for Facebook, every time a Facebook user clicks on an advertisement, that company pays Facebook for the ad. Studies have shown that over sixty nine percent of online shoppers use social media like Facebook not only to reach out to people, but also to see what's popular and what are some of the in things. The original pay-per-click strategy was not effective because users did not want to be taken to another page and look at something that did not appeal to them. With Facebook's new targeting system their ratio of clicks per user is astoundingly higher than any other competitor, even Google. This makes sense since the ads appeal to the fact that they are engaged or have an interest in fashion.
  • 16. Engagement AdsFacebook also created something called Engagement Ads to not only reach out to the advertisers, but also to the Facebook user. This allows three unique experiences for the Facebook user and for social media's. First you can comment on the advertisement which allows the user to say what they like or dislike the ad or the product. These comments can be seen by other Facebook user's friends. Allowing their social group to know that this either sucks or is great and they need to try it. Secondly, gifting friends online with small, free e-gifts has become a popular thing to do. Advertisers can now create free e-gifts for users to give to their friends. Lastly, users can become friends of products and organizations that they like, which links them to the Facebook page of the company that they love. This puts them in a pool of people all over the world who enjoy similar products and allows companies like Apple to see what their target audience actually is.
  • 17. Advertising through AppsAnother major addition to marketing on Facebook is applications. Applications are some of the most used items on Facebook to date. A great example of an application is Farmville. Farmville, which has over 80 million users, has more users than Twitter currently has on its website. The power of such an application on Facebook and its advertising is unheard of. Organizations can create in-game items that help the user's farm, and every person who visits that farm will see the item, advertisement, of the company on that person's farm. This is an effective marketing strategy because not many people see it as “marketing” but rather the company helping you in the game. It also is effective because there is such a wide range of users in Farmville and everyone who visits their site will see the ad.
