Last year I spoke on talent and how HR could use social media to acquire, vet and retain talent. So we won’t go into that too much this year.
But I will show you this case study. An Alberta credit union put out a job notice on Twitter and YouTube advertising for a youth spokesperson. This person would reach out using the same tools to other young adults. The entrants submitted videos and the job was awarded to a young woman who got busy and through social media, generated 2MM impressions, 2300 new accounts and 4MM in new deposits. Why did this work? It’s because young people trusted this spokesperson.Remember Karma LoopRemember Tupperware Remember campaigns of P&G
Product management, product design, product naming. How does this happen in many small to mid-sized businesses? Owner whim. What if you could crowdsource your development to be sure you were designing something your customers actually wanted? Social channels can help get insights and create market-friendly innovations.
Just before the Consumer Electronics Show this month, Kodak CMO Jeffrey Hayzlett asked his users over Twitter what they would call the latest waterproof version of their ZI-8 pocket hi-def video camera. The winner would win a free trip to Vegas to join Jeffrey as they unveiled the new camera to thousands of attendees. Jeffrey said:
Sales can benefit as well from social media, through opportunity mining, direct sales models and in-store tools.
Some of you may have heard of Gary Vaynerchuk. He inherited his family’s New York liquor business. He decided that the wine industry was stuffy and didn’t really connect with consumers. So he started making videos of himself explaining wines in layman’s terms. He tried a number of different approaches. You can see how well the outbound approach worked. People trust Gary because they can relate to him. That trust has turned into business. And Gary now has over 850,000 followers on Twitter
Many of you are probably familiar with Twelpforce, Best Buy’s leveraging of its employee base to engage with customer care requests over Twitter. At a recent workshop in Canada, one of my clients wondered aloud if it was a good idea to trust “random employees” with handling customer care requests. And immediately another attendees stated “we trust them on the sales floor, don’t we?”Great example of an unpaid army that leverages the trust inherent in social channels.
