Tripadvisor

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

Key Things to Rememberabout Social Media
ENERGISE2-0.COM
1. It’s a Revolution
A fundamental and revolutionary changein online behaviour, expectations and the online customer experience. The end of the ‘read only’ Internet
Content generated by the network for the network
We are no longer passive consumers of content/brand messages
ENERGISE2-0.COM
2. It’s Social
A conversationnot a broadcast platform
ENERGISE2-0.COM
It’s Social
Marketing as a conversation; two-way dialogue
Conversations are already taking place on the cloudrelevant to your brand – how well are you listening?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Be Social
ENERGISE2-0.COM
3. Power Shift
Social media empowers customers, empowers the network
We no longer control the brand The brand becomes the customer
experience of the brand – experiences that are widely
shared online
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Customer Experience and WOM
How well are we using SM to enhance the customer experience, especially at ‘key moments of truth’?
How strong is our SM WOM?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
4. Declining Effectiveness
Declining effectiveness of traditional approaches to sales and marketing Does anyone listen any more?
We are no longer passive sheep waiting to be ‘driven’ to web sites
If you treat us like sheep, we will tell youto ‘flock off’

The End of Business as Usual
‘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
How strong is the quality of our online network?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
The End of Business as Usual
ENERGISE2-0.COM
The End of Business as Usual
• Rise of the social consumer• Fundamentally different from traditional consumers• Emphasis is on the shared experiences of those they trust on
social networks rather than corporate driven brand messages• Expect brands to respond to their socialized questions• This will require businesses to rethink their traditional
approach to sales, service, marketing and customer relationship management
• ‘Being Social’ will become the new key to consumer connection and success

Social Media Development Cycle
ENERGISE2-0.COM
SM Development Cycle
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Five Key Areas
• External Analysis: Evaluate Your Social Media Landscape
• Internal Audit: Evaluate Your ‘Readiness to Engage’• Develop Your Social Media Strategy and Action Plans
for ‘Getting There’• Evaluate Your Social Media Performance and ROI• Organization, People and Resource Issues
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Social Media Strategy and Action Plans
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

Key Questions to Address
• What is the overall social media vision for your organisation?• What are the key objectives and targets to be achieved from
social media? Are these fully aligned with and supportive of your overall business goals and objectives?
• Who are your customers? Where do you find them ‘hanging out’ on social media? How can you best engage with them?
• What are the main Social Media Actions and Initiatives you need to take – short, medium and longer term?
• What generic social media strategy should you follow (number of channels used/ depth of engagement in each channel)?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Key Questions to Address
• For each priority Social Media Channel, what are your core objectives for that channel; what KPIs will be used for measuring on-going channel performance; what are your targets for each KPI; what key tasks are needed to achieve these targets?
• Do we have the right organisational ‘culture’ and ‘mindset’ for Social Media? ‘Be social before doing social! Is the right organisational and decision-making structure in place?
• Has agreement been reached on resource allocation?• Who will be responsible for your social media activities? What
balance has been agreed between internal and external roles and responsibilities?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Key Questions to Address
• Who is the Social Media Champion?• Do you have agreed Social Media Policies and Guidelines in
place covering ‘Proper Use’, ‘Content Management’, ‘Customer Response Times/Quality’ and ‘Legal’ aspects?

Performance Measurement
To ensure that your Social Media activities deliver high ROI, it is important to monitor, measure and evaluate your social media performance on an on-going basis. Key questions to address:
•What social media performance measures and KPIs should be used – both in terms of the overall ‘buzz’ created and measures for individual channels?
•What tools/software will be used to assist performance measurement?
•What reports will be produced, for who and how frequently?
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Performance Measurement
Should be undertaken at three main levels:
•Individual social media channels
•Overall ‘buzz’
•Business Impact
Using the 6Is approach
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Organization, Resource and People Issues
• Organization, 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. The success of your social media strategy is very much dependent upon appropriate decisions being made in the areas listed below:
ENERGISE2-0.COM
Organization, Resource and People Issues
• Do we have the right organisational ‘culture’ and ‘mindset’ for Social Media? ‘Be social before doing social!’ Is the right organisational and decision-making structure in place?
• Has agreement been reached on resource allocation?• Who will be responsible for your social media activities?• Do you have agreed Social Media Policies and Guidelines in
place covering ‘Proper Use’, ‘Content Management’, ‘Customer Response Times/Quality’ and ‘Legal’ aspects?

Bob Dylan
Come gather 'round peopleWherever you roam
And don’t criticiseWhat you can't understand
Your sons and your daughtersAre beyond your command
Your old road isRapidly agin‘
Then you better start swimmin’Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’
