Abstract Design Brief Project Overview

Abstract Keywords: Brands, Consumers, Online Communities, Online Social Interactions, Eco-system Engagement, User-Generated Content, Social Computing, Consumers, Enterprise, Social Computing, Networks, Peer effect, Customer insights, Gamification, Social Rewards, Loyalty, Social User Data Analytics, Crowdsourcing, CPG, Retail, Automotives With the growing importance of Social Media, the brands are trying to engage the customers in social channels and operate consumer-centered social networks or “communities” online. This is based on the research that consumers who join the community become more engaged with the brand, and as a result, increase their economic activity & business value enhancement. Social connections, the number and importance of friends, interactions and discussions with peers and word of mouth, display of personal profiles, all of them have significant impact on the brand marketing and business value enhancement. The project focuses in depth on the Online Customer Community Platform which involves “Creating continuous touchpoints with customers and engaging them for business value enhancement

through online customer communities for industries like CPG. This includes the aspects of increasing user motivation for participation in online channels. The project will explore in detail the scenarios in which the techniques: Customer Insights, Social User Data Analytics, Social Rewards & Gamification can be used for increasing user motivation and participation A Social Computing Platform for online Customer Communities will fulfill the following goals of brands and customers as its target audience: Social Computing Platform for Online Customer communities enables two-way conversations between brands and customers where Brands can harness the knowledge, passion & peer influence of their customers & audiences to improve customers’ brand perception, increase brand loyalty, crowd source ideas and create measurable business results (by measuring brand influence in the form of identifying brand fans & influencers with segmentation based on demographics, behavioral and brand contribution data)

On the other hand Customers can participate in brand conversations; get a chance to co-create with brands; can get early & exclusive access to brands’ new products, ideations & content; earn social recognition & rewards from brands they care about; get personalized offers & content; can interact with like minded individuals and sharing opinions.

these metrics can be analyzed through the platforms you already have.

Most marketing heads and brand owners don’t know what marketing success looks like in the social web. They have no way to benchmark if they’re winning, and are unable to course correct if things get off track. Limitations of Current Social Analytics Social media dashboards prioritizes the things that are easy to report, not the things that are actually important to a brand. It’s no surprise that brand managers can’t make sense of reports full of click through rates, fan counts, downloads and page views. None of these numbers align or even correlate with a brand’s objectives- driving sales, increasing affinity, and building brand value. Marketing managers recognize this disconnect but assume that results-focused analytics are both expensive and complicated. Actually, measuring what matters doesn’t have to be either. The secret lies in identifying the handful of key metrics that truly propel your brand, and never losing sight of them throughout the measurement process. Often,

[3.1] Brand Dynamics Pyramid: Increase in share of wallet with increase in Customer Loyalty and Advocacy

The Happiest Minds Social Computing Console has been developed based on the Brand Dynamics Pyramid. This enables a company to build as large a group as possible of truly loyal consumers by sustaining a suitable relationship with them. In addition, by assimilating customer activity in the social web with internal customer and sales data, it helps brands increase customer loyalty and advocacy. The important rule is to focus on just a few metrics for each business objective so that program evaluation remains simple and one does not end up in “analysis paralysis.” The process should force the prioritization of only key performance indicators – in addition to clicks, # of fans, page views, etc. Another attribute of the Console is the mix of both qualitative measures (discussion topics and senti-

How do you build a twenty-first century marketing capability that can navigate the new social reality and whatever comes next. It’s time to delight your customers by engaging with them and your employees in new and powerful ways. Companies can use social computing, more importantly, to humanize their brand and create loyalty by listening, acting on customers’ inputs and by being available when consumers have a problem, question or compliment. Socially-Enabled Business uses social technologies in every aspect of the business.

These next-gen organizations who seek to build long-term relationships with customers are more likely to: Use social media to capture the voice of the customer and insights, and embed it with current product development and research process. Leverage social media to improve customer service, retention, create better interactions with customers and prospects. Enjoy cost efficiencies gained by enabling customer service via self-service channels (social, email, phone, blogs) Foster deeper and longer-lasting customer relationships Customers are voicing their opinions about your brands and that of your competition.

They are actively vocalizing their likes, dislikes, excitements and disappointments. Be available to participate in the conversation - Build a system that empowers your customer service organization to join in and address customer queries on-the-spot before they escalate. Generate new ideas faster by connecting with the brainpower outside your company - Everyday people using their spare time to create content, solve problems, even do corporate R&D. Create platform that allows your brand teams to engage and collaborate with customers & key influencers to crowdsource & co-create products, develop specific ideas and get rapid feedback. Customers are talking about your brand and product/service category whether you are tuned in or not. Create a framework to map social data and integrate existing customer records in current transactional systems with their social profiles to mine conversations, profile data and develop new insights and tailored offerings. Customers are turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to

ads-both traditional and non-traditional. In order to increase brand salience and affinity in a highly fragmented and contested media space, create useful, usable and enjoyable social apps for customers. Social apps also enable brands to increase reach by leveraging the power of customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; peer and influencer networks to elicit participation and engagement. Go beyond the usual customer touch points and sales channels to engage with and help customers make purchases on Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and other social channels. Transform your existing social marketing presence into a dynamic, clutterbreaking social commerce channel. Customer contribution leads to engagement and customer connectedness. Co-creation opportunities, in which customers are invited to collaborate with a brand, for example, user-generated content, boosts customer connectedness, brand loyalty and affinity well beyond what traditional marketing (advertising, PR, promotion, direct) can do. Result: more interaction, more time spent and a sense of ownership in the outcome.

[3] HM Whitepaper: Enterprise Gamification: Enabling businesses drive participation, user engagement, employee productivity and customer loyalty Participation and user engagement drive business value. While participation builds lasting relationships and impacts fundamental business objectives, customer engagement will ensure business success. Gamification is the integration of game dynamics and mechanics into non-gaming applications such as websites, internal training programs, community building activities, marketing campaigns and customer service to drive desired behavior (e.g. encourage adoption of business processes & tools, influence usage of enterprise applications). This drives participation, user engagement, employee productivity and customer loyalty. Countdown clocks on Gilt Group, a discount luxury goods site, compel shoppers to buy deals before time runs out. Colorful virtual badges, such as those on Foursquare, a smartphone app that lets

people “check in” to venues, reward frequent use of a site or service. When LinkedIn members log in they are shown a progress bar, subtly urging them to add more details to their profiles. Gamification today has moved beyond badges and points and is recognized as a methodology based on behavioral and motivational psychology. Gartner predicts that: 50 percent of businesses will use gamification by 2015 to encourage staff to be more dedicated and innovative when managing customer relationships. By 2014, more than 70 percent of Global 2000 organizations will have at least one gamified application.

Of course, it’s no revelation that banks possess copious amounts of customer data. What is less well known is that most banks struggle to glean truly valuable intelligence or insight into their customers’ preferences. Banks need to capture comprehensive customer information (syncing customers’ transaction data with social data through Social Apps), update it continually, and understand it in a holistic way to differentiate customer experience and deepen customer relationships. Social Data is the collective information such as likes, dislikes, tastes, interests, hobbies, friends, peer networks, demographic & psychographic data produced by millions of people as they actively participate in online social activities (for e.g. on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, reviews)

These approaches are based on various theories from the area of social psychology and behavioral economics and involve rewards mechanisms, reputation, open group user modeling, and social visualization.

Future trends are outlined towards convergence with the areas of persuasive systems design, adaptive/personalized systems, and intelligent social learning environments. Intrinsic motivation which can come from motivational patterns and incentive mechanisms that emphasize achievement, altruism, genuine delight of gaming, value to contribution, reciprocation and common identity community feeling. Social Motivation which can come from earning Social Reputation and Status like Leaderboards, Levels, Social Visualization of Community. Exrinsic Motivation can be goal-directed and can come from Rewards (Points, Challenges, Monetary benefits, Badges) Contributing not only to online communities but also the real ones for civic or voluntary actions like charity. Incentive mechanisms can include personalized rewards and can adapt the rewards offered to the benefit of both the user and the entire community.

When consumer-written product opinions are present, consumers: • Are more likely to click “Where to buy” • Are more likely to convert from site visitor to community member • Spend more time on the brand site • View more pages per visit

Consumer behavior has evolved from the traditional consideration funnel into what McKinsey calls the “loyalty loop” in their 2009 report, Consumer Decision Journey. In the loyalty loop, consumers continue to engage with brands after purchase, and this brand-consumer conversation informs the preferences of shoppers and brings them closer to the brand. CPG consumers want to hear from one another Product feedback isn’t just a nice way to get consumers talking to each other, it also drives important KPIs

By segmenting them through social scores, you are able to identify those highly connected individuals who encourage and influence others with content, product and service reviews, and endorsements. With this information, you can get to know those individuals, collaborate with them, and use their social skills to advocate for your organization. A clear view of your social media constituents is critical as people increasingly rely on each other to endorse, defend, and decry products and causes.

Currently, brands making contact with mobile consumers do so in the form of one-way communication: pushing out deals, discounts, promotions and contests to customers who have opted-in to receive them. While consumers are most familiar with interactions through email and SMS , many exhibit a willingness to try other, more dynamic methods like downloading apps or using Snaptags/QR codes and location-based services. Though experience is lower, interest in these new services is comparable to interest in SMS . As these services continue to grow in popularity and usage, brands will have an array of opportunities to initiate and sustain two-way interactions.

Blogs, Articles, Reviews & Information gathered from Internet [15] Why Marketers Should Invest in Crowdsourced Research By Chris Petre, Social Marketing Strategist , IDEA

What are the advantages of crowdsourced research? Cost-effectiveness –Comparatively speaking, crowdsourced research can be done at a fraction of the cost of traditional research. Quick Turn Around –The time it takes to gather, execute, and analyze is shorter thanks to a purely digital foundation. Flexibility –As trends emerge in findings, researchers can easily adjust their strategy to catch any shifts or “surprises.” Collaboration –Crowdsourced research allows brands to collaborate easily with customers to ideate or improve upon products, to test concepts, ads, and experiences, and to continue the conversation over a longer term. Velocity – Crowdsourced research can travel at the speed of digital, allowing for real-time consumer

behavior analysis and insight for new technologies, memes, trends, and conversations. Marketing and Marketing Research –Even though it’s frowned upon and often times refuted in traditional research, the nature of crowdsourced research implies there will be some form of marketing intertwined as consumers share their stories, insights, and ideas for brands they support.

[16] Making a Brand Investment through Experience By Jared M Spool

Engagement instead of Elements- How a person feels about a brand is represented by their brand engagement. The engagement is the sum of all the experiences they’ve had with the various touchpoints around the product or service. Loyalty Is Brand Engagement’s Cost of Entry- Loyalty is measured by looking at whether the person has been satisfied with their experiences, will do business again, and will recommend doing business to others

Blogs, Articles, Reviews & Information gathered from the Internet Confidence talks to Trust- Is it something they feel they can trust? Do they believe the brand always delivers what they promise. Pride and Passion Top Off the Model- Pride is when a person treasures their relationship with the brand. Passion goes beyond pride, entering a level of engagement so strong it looks like complete fanboy behavior to outsiders. Organizations that get this realize that building a great experience is the best way to strengthen their brand engagement, which helps market the company even more. When there’s an army that is highly engaged, they sell the praises of the products and services at every opportunity.

[17] 25 Data Points on Generation C: The Connected Consumer By Rebecca, Digital CPG Blog

1. Boomers – sought ‘freedom’ (or aspired to it ) 2. Gen X – sought experience (or aspired to it in the form of travel) 3. Gen Y – sought self serving interaction (they were the first generation born into gaming and e-

mail) 4. Gen C – seek control of their world and culture (they are overwhelmed by influences and aspire to look at and create content made by amateurs, as a way of staking out their own world.) How well do you know Gen Y? Here are some interesting points for discovery that get us thinking beyond what we think we know today: 59% update their social status in class. 29% find love through Facebook while 33% are dumped via TXT or Wall posts. Millennials watch TV with two or more electronic devices. Only 11% define having a lot of money as a definition of success Gen-Y will form 75% of the workforce by 2025 and are actively shaping corporate culture and expectations.

[22] Wisdom by Microstrategy MicroStrategy Wisdom Professional™ is a unique consumer research tool that draws its data from millions of anonymous Facebook users who have opted into this collective intelligence application.

[3.38] Infographic showing How to leverage Social User Data

Wisdom analyzes a wide array of consumer data including demographics, brand interests, media interests, activity interests, social connections, location check-ins, and life events. And each of these areas can be can be viewed for the entire Wisdom population or can be used to create a custom segment population for subsequent analysis. Wisdom can be applied throughout an entire organization, ranging from marketing, to corporate

planning, to market research, to product development.

Direct Marketing/ ConsumerAnalysis: Wisdom Professional™ provides marketers with a 360-degree view of their customer, based on highly accurate, current and extensive data. Following are some of the ways marketing professionals are using Wisdom Professional™ to know their customers better: • Basic Demographic and Psychographic Analysis View consumer populations according to their demographic attributes, their interests as expressed by “likes” on Facebook, or their activities captured by Facebook “check ins”. Then filter the population by any combination of attributes like age, gender, location, relationship status, affluence, and popularity to get deep insights into specific target populations. Not only can you analyze the characteristics of your Facebook fans, you can even analyze the characteristics of your competitors’ fans.

Similar Products Example: A sports equipment retailer can view the “interest profile” of a population segment comprised of males between the ages of 18 and 45 who like Nike and Adidas; and can use the preferences expressed in the interest profile to help determine what music they should play in the stores, what products they should stock, and what services they should provides. • Geo-Targeting of Fans View location and density of your customers and that of your competitors’ customers plotted on a map Example: A local radio station can analyze where their fans live, work, and go out, and develop local guerilla marketing promotions based around this intelligence. • Identify Brand Interests Discover your customers’ brand preferences, as well as what they like to read, watch, wear and so much more by analyzing Facebook “likes” and “check-in” data. Example: A convenience store can research the

packaged food brands their fans are interested in and stock them. • Competitor Customer Campaigns Analyze the demographic and interests of your competitors customers and use that information to design campaigns to lure them to your brand Example: A company can discover that its competitors’ Facebook fans are generally more female and younger and enjoy more outdoor activities than its own Facebook fans, and can alter its advertising strategy to appeal to younger outdoororiented females. • Audience Research Analyze highly targeted audiences for demographic and psychographic characteristics and design campaigns around their preferences. Example: A wedding dress retailer can investigate the club, restaurant, and music preferences of engaged women, between the ages of 22 – 45 in Miami, FL and host an event based on this knowledge. • Cause Marketing

Similar Products Companies can evaluate which charity organizations to support based on their consumers’ favorite charities, as stated on Facebook. Example – A CT-based retailer identified that the majority of its fans have also liked a local Fairfield County charity and now donates a percentage of each sale to this charity

Planning & Strategy: Wisdom Professional™ offers strategic planners a unique data set from which to help guide a range of operational decisions. Here are some of the many ways corporate planners are using Wisdom Professional™ to drive key decisions: • Store Locations Potential store locations can be assessed based on geographic distribution of specific demographic groups, psychographic groups, interest profiles, and even affluence. Example - Retailer with multiple outlets wants to consolidate stores, and can help base the decision on maps from Wisdom Professional that show where their fans reside or where their most affluent

fans reside. • Brand Popularity and Merchandise Strategy Companies can use Wisdom Professional to analyze which consumer brands are most popular with different demographics or different geographies and alter merchandise strategy accordingly. Example – A department store chain might learn that different brands of jeans are more popular in different regions and decide to stock the stores according to this pattern. Further it might negotiate different wholesale terms with the various brands based on the popularity data. • Analyze Potential Partners Companies can now analyze the customer-base of potential partner’s to see which is the best fit with their company. Example – A soft drink manufacturer is interested in doing a cross-promotion with a new movie. To determine if it’s the right partnership, Wisdom Professional™ can analyze the movie’s fan base to see if there is a similarity or complementary fit with their fans based on demographic and psycho-

Synthesizing the Research

Synthesizing the Research After studying the domain and analysing the work being done in the field of Online Platforms connecting Brands and Customers the following observations were made: With the rise of Social Networks, Brands want to engage consumers online for marketing their products and new ideas thus converting them into loyal customers. Also consumers want to participate in the brand co-creation activities like sampling products, moderated discussions about brands, brand polls and surveys, brand campaigns etc. to provide their valuable insights and feedback to brands and get incentivized for the same by having offers from brands. Thus for the connection between Brands and Consumers to be enaging & valuable for both sides, the communication environment should be full of fun ( like a game environment) and at the same time be easy to use. Thus the need for online platform connecting Brands and Consumers was felt which would enhance the consumer experience by following ways:

Humanizing the Brand by listening to Customer Voice and taking Insights from them. Adding a touch of Personalisation and mapping userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests, likes, dislikes, activities, hobbies i.e the Social User Data would help in creating engaging experiences which would be delightful for user and help in long lasting relationships with Brands. This would increase Brand Advocacy and Loyalty which the most important return of investment for Brands trying to measure their success. Brand Polls can capture user tastes and interests and can help Brands in targeting relevant audience. Brands can offer relevant stuff to consumers based on their needs and interests rather than spamming them with unwanted deals and offers. Also to engage the users, brands should target the channels like Facebook and Mobile on which users spend most of their time and they are easy to use. For motivating users to use this platform, both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is necessary which would come from social reputation, social rewards and challenges, gamifying the environment, com-

Synthesizing the Research petition with friends, word of mouth from peers, monetary returns and incentives for performing activities related to Brands. Thus Social Loyalty and Gamification would motivate the user to use the platform trying to make a long lasting relation with the brands involved. Crowdsourcing activities like sampling new products, early access to information from brands, discussions to give new ideas about products can save a lot of R&D expenses for the brands. On the other hand the consumers can give their ideas which they want to incorporate in new products and get them implemented. Social Actions like liking, sharing, reviewing, rating etc. can help a Brand market its products easily and it becomes easy for consumers to trust peer opinions rather than watching ads on TV. Thus to win the trust of consumers these social features become an important part of the platform. Similar products like Enclave-Customer Enaggement Platform, Communispace, Crowdtap, Google Consumer Surveys, Wisdom by Microstrategy are trying to do their best in this area. But there is

that can leverage all the aspects mentioned above as analysed in the reasearch. Thus the online platform connecting Brands and Consumers for both CPG industry needs to be one of its kind to help both Consumers and Brands and create a seamless experience for them.
