AlphaGraphicsNational Leadership Council • May 24, 2011
Agenda • The AlphaGraphics opportunity • Social media relevance • Four51 FanTools • Case studies • Next steps & call to action!
Business Promotion • What has worked in the past? Mailers, radio, TV, email, yellow-pages, newspaper, magazines... • What still works? The same thing that always has. Word of mouth. Personal recommendation. • A cultural shift is underway. People are paying attention to different things. Expectations for interaction are changing drastically (w/ people and w/ brands). • What has value? Fans.
Why are Facebook Fans valuable? • Fans of brands spend more - and are more loyal - than non-fans • Fans report they are more likely to personally recommend a brand • Personal relationship with a Fan can last for years, through numerous buying cycles • Network effect means than one Fan who sharesis worth much more than a single customer • “Permission marketing” is the privilege (not right) of delivering anticipated, personal and relevant messages to people who actually want to get them.” (Godin) vs. interruption marketing
Facebook dominance • Other methods of online customer engagement (web site, blog, email) are still important, but… • As of January 2011, Facebook has more than 600 million active users. • Quantcastestimates Facebook has 135.1 million monthly unique U.S. visitors in October 2010. • According to Social Media Today, in April 2010 an estimated 41.6% of the U.S. population had a Facebook account. • In 10 countries, 86% of internet users are on Facebook • Facebook delivers 30% of all online display advertising
The Marketing Services Opportunity • 30M U.S. businesses need help (99.9% under 500 employees) • Complex new consumer behaviors • Platforms galore • Time, energy and expertise required to produce content and publish to many media channels • Extract value out from social interactions • Awareness, Trial, Conversion, Loyalty • Data collection and analysis • Intelligence enables better, more valuable engagements
How do you get Fans? • First, you must be in the game, which today means a Facebook Page. • Fan acquisition: leverage all opportunities to add Fans (offline, online, media, personal). • Consumer’s “Like” a business more for a deal than any other reason. • Once a business has the fan, they need to engage, but not just with coupons. Be a valuable friend and then slip in promotions to be “socialized”. • Encourage and reward sharing - A Facebook “Share” is much more valuable than a “Like”. A “Check-in” is a de facto recommendation.
Social Promotion • Acquire fans • Get Likes and opt-ins • Engage fans • Be authentic and interactive • Amplify fans • Leverage the network effect • Reward sharing and loyalty
What is FanTools? • Streamline the process of creating & publishing offers and deals to acquire fans • Can require fans to Like the Page (FanGating), and/or answer questionnaire (ProfileGating) to get offer • Schedule the publication and expiration of the offer • Allow fans to opt-in to notification of new offers on their phone (SMS) and/or email • Publish the offer to merchant’s deal list, Page Wall, Twitter account, and notifications • Create deals valid for certain locations • Get reports on how many people viewed, clicked and printed the offers
