Free – eBook of Needs based segmentation

Before the start of any new marketing initiative it pays to identify customer segments in terms of their needs as opposed to traditional demographic or psychographic segments.

By finding out what your customers key requirements are within different operating segments, you can tailor your offerings in line to critical needs within those segments. This will help you determine not only what different customers want, but also where you should excel, and where you can underperform in order to be able to fund service excellence in specific areas and gain true competitive advantage.

A needs based segmentation is an essential pre-requisite for any major marketing activity whether it’s more efficiently monetising your social media assets, improving online advocacy or even the creation of a new company, or brand.

The advent of social media research tools has made it easier than ever before to conduct needs based segmentations quickly and cost effectively, especially within niche markets.

This comprehensive eBook will take every step of the way, explaining what you need to consider to set up a segmentation, analyse the results correctly and successfully put those findings into action.

Mobilising your Facebook Fans

How much is a “fan” worth? How many of your fans do you share with competitive Facebook fan pages? How much more likely is a fan to repeat purchase than an offline customer? If you cannot measure or put a value on some of these questions, then it’s difficult to assess the bottom line impact of your Facebook strategy, know how much resource to invest in it and how best to utilise the results.

Are comments on Facebook the same as advertising? Compulsory social media monitoring could be moving one step closer.

If you were to comment on a brand’s Facebook page would that constitute advertising? Well, according to a new ruling made by Australia’s Advertising Standards Board - it does. And this could have huge implications in the way big brands use social media and how it is monitored.

Mass Amateurization

A very interesting notion coined by Clay Shirkey in (Everyone Is a Media Outlet) is that of ‘professional amateurization’ which he defines as “a result of the radical spread of expressive capabilities.” He makes the point that this has resulted in the loss of professional control which can impact negatively on many of society’s core institutions.
