Community, Not Campaigns For Small Business
posted on January 14, 2010
Is your business still thinking of marketing as a set of campaigns? It might be time to switch gears and start thinking more about connecting with prospects and customers via community. Today, we learned that two major brands are rethinking their strategies (also read here):
Coca-Cola and Unilever are shifting their digital focus away from traditional campaign sites and towards community platforms, such as Facebook and YouTube, as social media begins to dictate their marketing activity in 2010.
Yes, these are the big kahunas of the corporate branding universe...but can their strategies work for small and medium-sized businesses? Not only do I think the answer is a resounding "100% yes!", I believe that building community over campaigns is an absolute must for nearly any enterprise today. Why?
