CONCLUSION While it is
difficult to perfectly segment online behaviour into neat categories given the fluidity of the web and the infinite number of ways consumers can interact with brands online, looking at behaviour through consumer personas can help clarify the ways different brands can leverage these channels collectively. That said, remember that consumers like choices. Rather than being force-fed a one-size-fits-all approach, make sure your consumers have the freedom to interact on their terms. The channels should tie together, but offer different content with a tone and an approach that is aligned with the unique strengths of each channel. Remember that many consumers look for channel exclusivity, so offering something slightly different via email, Facebook and Twitter is likely to help build your audience across each of these channels. Delivering a consistent brand experience is not the same as delivering the same content across email, Facebook and Twitter. “make sure your consumers have the freedom to interact on their terms” Consumers expect brands to proactively communicate with them. The most common place they invite these messages into their lives is still through email. However, Facebook and Twitter open up new opportunities for marketers to interact with consumers. Brands are able to interact more frequently, and informally, through these channels, offering more chances to make a favourable impression. Above all, it’s always important to keep the customer in mind. A brand’s cross-channel messaging strategy should always be keenly aware of the underlying motivations of their customers. Understanding these motivations is critical to unlocking the success of each of these channels and developing strategies that allow these channels to work together as part of a cohesive marketing strategy. © 2012 ExactTarget | www.ExactTarget.com/sff 19
