Study “Aha’s”
• Big lack of community and social
assimilation
o Brands equate community with
Facebook presence; measure
success by # of fans or shares
• “Likes” ≠ “relationship with customer”
• Community = “go-to” destination
o Product info, knowledge, shared
insights, mentorship, brand
connection
o Deeper discussions and
interactions
• Optimize and leverage both for best
results
Community vs. Facebook
