ChangeThis :: Learning to View Your Customers as a s connected - than Powerful Tribe - 0 views

  • As a business it’s tempting to think of a 'tribe' as a 'customer base.' That’s wrong. People aren’t part of a tribe simply because they buy a product or service. What qualifies them as a tribe are their connections. Tribes of customers are connected to an idea, each other, products, services, employees, etc.—creating a network of connections to the business as a whole."

      You could try a printing on demand service like this to reduce costs? Perhaps invite your community of learners service users to co-create cards, photograph artwork then put on cards! - so order only what service users want and go from there! with a trackable link (on the back of the card) you could get the postcard to sell itself ;-)

Brand Building + Social Media = Zappos Example and Employee Advocacy - Fast.Fwd.Innov@tion - 0 views

  • Brand Building + Social Media = Zappos Example and Employee Advocacy
    • william doust
       
      Very inspiring change context - and see it with community building eyes - from the philanthropic sector ;-) enjoy
  • every year a culture book including testimonials of employees about how it is to work at Zappos.
  • Zappos tends more on spending money on employees than on media planning.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • We invest the time and money into hiring and nurturing the right people, as many other companies do in their media planning - Brian Karma, Zappos director of creative services and brand marketing
  • you’ve got it in you DNA, whether you don’t: being able to implement the community management at all levels of a company, the 360 degrees process communities as Ross Mayfield explains, is more like an utopia for many companies that won’t be able to master the social media channel as Zappos do right now.
  • It’s one strategy that would work for any company,
  • not a company culture that many can afford to develop
  • the strategy is just smart: empowering people so they keep on being accurate and engaged with their customers to provide them with the best-in-class customer care, making people comfortable with buying shoes online and spreading the word thanks to the customer support.

Answers to The Silver Lining Audio Conference Questions - Scott Anthony - HarvardBusine... - 0 views

  • Process frequency. At many companies, strategic planning and portfolio management is an episodic process that happens quarterly or annually. In turbulent times, strategic planning has to happen more frequently. Kill rate. As times get tough, many companies have to de-prioritize some projects in their portfolio. Companies should make sure they focus on an idea's true potential, or else they will accidentally sacrifice ideas with great long-term potential (see a recent excerpt from The Silver Lining in BusinessWeek for more on this topic) Focus on "loving the low end." Most companies generally default towards providing better products or services to demanding customers. In tough times, companies have to figure out how they are going to compete for increasingly value-conscious customers. Ask whether you have any explicit strategies focused on "loving the low end" of your market.
