Get ready for the iPad generation

I saw this cute girl on my way transiting from Krabi to Bangkok. Apparently her traveling companion happens to be her iPad. She was trying to piece the various parts of the bear together and she did it effortlessly. I asked her mum 'Does she mistook the magazines as an IPad and touch them as well'? She said ' not really, but she touches the television set now and then'. While we grew up playing toys and nintendo games, these kids have the best toys of all. iPad leh! So next gen marketers- get ready to engage this batch of constantly wired, media convoluted, multi-tasking and attention seeking kids.

Smirnoffthailand on Facebook

I noticed a higher adoption rate of social media for Brands in Thailand since i stepped on thai ground yesterday. Thais have been known to be highly creative, innovative and cutting edge in their creative ideas. I am not surprised seeing such spirit channeled to their rendition on social media marketing. I saw these billboards last night at Siam station. the concept and board designs certainly caught my attention. check out Facebook.com/smirnoffthailand. perhaps we can learnt a thing or two from them.

Increase satisfiers to boost loyalty

in today's wired world, having a wifi connection in a resort is critical in enhancing its customer's loyalty. Although travellers want to disconnect themselves with the Internet world when they immerse into the quiets, I can still see an immense need for them to connect to Facebook, twitter and some otter social networking sites. I say kudos to Sala Thalay - as the wifi is absolutely free here and as a result , consumer's satisfaction is enhanced. check out hertzberg theory which says we need to increase satisfiers and decrease dissatisfiers. so far I would say satisfiers TTM!

Content Strategy for Social Media Marketing

Content Strategy Formulation v2.0


If you are hoping to embark on a social media strategy, content strategy formulation is important. There are altogether 10 steps to formulating the content strategy. For part 1, i will be addressing the first 5 points to the strategy.



1) Principles - First off set some principles, this allows for the brand to have a healthy and robust discussion around authenticity, transparency and humility as well as an opportunity to define the engagement policy.
2)Business Objective - 'Why are we doing this?' question, clarify your objectives, link them to appropriate metrics, if possible setting targets and define a budget.
3) Brand Purpose - What’s your Story?
Identify your brand ideal(s).
Dove believes the world would be a better place if women were allowed to feel good about themselves
Fanta believes the world would be a better place if we grew up less and played more
Scrabble believes the world would be a better place if we loved words more
Coca Cola believes the world would be a better place if we saw the glass as half full - not half empty.
4) Content Value (Social Currency)
Entertainment value – Advertising campaigns typically deal in this type of currency. It's worth asking if the idea lends itself to being parodied like Cadburys Gorilla as this can be a potent conversation multiplier.
Personal value - Fame delivers powerful personal value, the rise of Factor type shows and Reality TV shows over recent years indicate the value people place on this kind of content.
Knowledge value – B2B thought leadership via whitepapers is a example of this type.
Monetary value - Consumer PR typically deals in this type of currency with promotions and competitions, the Threshers 2006 40% off Voucher is a great example of this.
Utility value – a lot iPhone apps fall into this category like Sky+ app. Charmin installing 20


5) Sources

Who is going to be creating or producing all this great content for you?
Employees- Zappo the US online shoe retailer encourages all staff to use twitter and even has a leaderboard which introduces a competitive element into the mix.
Agencies
User generated content(UGC), crowd sourcing and co-creation can also be viable option for some brands.
