6 C’s of Social Influence Marketing
ContentCustomizationCommunityConversationCommerceCommitment
Source: Digital Outlook Report, Razorfish, 2008
Content
Customized bite-sized, portable content or experiences for their most prominent target segments - content that their “friends” would be proud to display, share, or support.
Brand badges, coupons, wallpapers, behind-the-scenes movie clips, mashable video, updated stock quotes, recipes, sweepstakes, mobile downloads, charity donations, or plain information.
CustomizationProfiling important for users
Users want to customize content, post it, share it, and make it their own.
Marketers need to understand where their brands intersect with the passion points of their
consumers..
.. and empower consumers to express themselves via their connection to the brand
Community
Understand the community you are convening with, what holds them together.
Think carefully how to personify and express your brand.
Build it and they will come is NOT applicable here
ConversationUsers conversate the most about the brands they admire or despite.
It’s open in the public.
Tap into the positive buzz, but also accept negative conversation
Conversations with community needs to be transparent
CommerceHow to measure? Metrics not well defined yet.
Return on Investment > Return on Influence?
Marketers should tread lightly when trying to establish social influence marketing as a direct driver of commerce.
The community has not come together to help companies sell products.
Commitment
Any company can enter, or experiment
But those who can actually make a commitment to building a presence, a community of friends, and a steady amount of new content to keep their communities engaged will benefit most.
