Listening  customers  in  social  media    

 Is  important  because:  –  People  spend  a  lot  of  Dme  in  social  media,  discussing  their  daily  lives,  interests  and  opinions    Facebook  is  the  biggest  Dme-­‐suck  in  the  internet  (17%),  YouTube  (10%)  

–  78%  of  consumers  trust  Word-­‐of-­‐Mouth  in  social  media    Only  14%  trust  ads  

–  34%  of  blog  arDcles  talk  about  products  and  brands    That  is  more  than  70  million  blogs  

(ComScore,  2009,  Jupiter  Research,  2009,  Fortune  2010,  McKinsey  2012)

Need  for  a  systema:c  approach  

 Many  companies  are  extremely  confused  by  the  amount  of  informaDon  in  social  media  –  They  are  unable  to  make  use  of  it  

–  They  do  not  know  how,  what  and  where  customers  talk  about  their  brands  and  products    

 In  other  words,  they  risk  being  not  customer  centric!

Netnographic  approach    

 Netnography  is  a  research  process  where  social  media  is  studied  by  analyzing  member  discussions,  acDviDes,  and  ulDmately  culture,  via  acDve  parDcipaDon  and  observaDon  

 It  requires  constant  aaenDon  and  training   It  can  be  applied  to  study  different  social  media:  

–  Facebook  –  Twiaer  –  Pinterest  –  Forums  –  Blogs  etc.  

See:  Robert  Kozinets  (2010)  Netnography
