Developing the customer connection
With active listening and engagement customer/brand connections are
created and strengthened creating loyalty. Brands define their unique voice,
aligning always with their core values and mission and yet need to have an
appropriate voice for each social platform.
For instance, connecting on weheartit.com, the brand’s an individual in
the community (user-generated content strategy), an authentic, casual,
personable voice. On the Facebook brand page, the brand persona is
professional and storytelling: photos, videos with events and incentives.
Brand tone will be different but core messaging is consistent. Messaging
must be authentic and aligned with the brand; always appropriate to the
environment.
Be where your target market is. Stay aware, stay involved.
