The Impact of Social Media

“When consumers hear about a product today, their first reaction is ‘Let me search online for it.’

And so they go on a journey of discovery: about a product, a service, an issue, an opportunity.

Today you are not behind your competition. You are not behind the technology. You are behind your consumer.”

— Rishad TobaccowalaChief Strategy & Innovation OfficerVivaKi

The physical and digital worlds are now coming together. So it’s not about place; it’s about ANY place.”

- Author Don Tapscott

Today’s Reality• Customers want to know about you

BEFORE they want to know about you.• Customers way of making a choice has

become more transparent and more involved than ever before.

The Impact of Social Media

“Engagement with the customer today isn’t just pouring a message down on their head and hoping they get wet.

It really is understanding that you must be present in a conversation when they want to have it, not when you want to.

Pre-shopping before buying has become a huge, huge part of customer behavior. In the past, it was pretty much confined to big-ticket items like cars, or expensive electronics or homes. Now people engage in discovery before shopping on very small things.

It’s crossed all categories of shopping behavior. It’s just the way people buy today.”

— Bob ThackerGravitytank Strategic Advisor and former CMO of OfficeMax
