Your Website in a Social Context
What happened to the website? Did we forget about the customers
and the technology they use?
How can social help – three ways to rethink your website presence:
1. Using data and social listening to improve your onsite performance
2. Integrating social aspects into the customers decision journey
3. Using service innovation to create social reach and add business value
How to move forward – it’s all about people, stories and interaction

iBeacon
iBeacon is a technology that enables a beacon or iOS
device to send push notifications to iOS and Android
devices within close proximity. iBeacon works at distances
up to 50 meters.
Uses a low-energy Bluetooth signal to enable mobile app
experiences with higher accuracy than GPS
Is just hitting the market in the US – Safeway and Macys
are some of the first to use iBeacon to enhance the
instore experience.
And the investment is minimal.

So, is this the best
we can do?

25.
Hmmmm...
I guess we need to
do some serious
rethinking

26.
What are the chances of recovery?
It’s not all over, but we need to be smarter and adapt to the
customers needs and align it with the business opportunities.
• Corporate websites
Critical state - all vital organs needs to be replaces and rethought
• Campaigns and micro sites
OK - but not utilizing the full potential in a broader setup
• Commerce and transactional sites
In a much better shape, but needs to shape up quite soon

The new generation
corporate websites?
- If you ask Coca Cola
“Like any winning campaign, we let the data guide us
and inform our content decisions.
Replacing a transactional corporate website with a digital
magazine upended how we work. With KPIs focused on
engagement, the new newsroom meant publishing content
based on what readers want to read.
That experiment started off in a surprising way. The stories our
readers loved surprised us month after month, and the stories
we thought they would love fell flat.”
Ashley Brown
Group Director of Digital Communications
and Social Media at The Coca-Cola Company.

How can social help?
Three focus areas to think about
1.
Using data and social listening to improve your onsite
performance
2. Integrating social aspects into the customers decision
journey
3. Using service innovation to create social reach and add
business value

29.
Using data and social
listening to improve your
onsite performance

What you should think about!
• What are the opportunities (benefits)?
• What data exist and what is needed (data setup)?
• What has highest priority (business value)?
• Who is doing what, how and when (organizational setup)?
• How do we make it an on-going task? (no bulk data)?
And what kind of tools can help make it happen:
Analytics, keyword mapping, social listening, customer
archetypes, dashboards, A/B testing etc.

Now we just call it persuasive design
Persuasive design is becoming a more and
more integrated part of the buying
process and social mechanisms are
playing a more and more important role.
Persuasive design acts on data and insight
enabling us to design beyond the merely
functional to create features that change
customers behavior and persuade them
to act.

their original plans based on

Using service innovation to
create social reach and add
business value

55.
What is it all about?
Service design is invention, innovation and improvement of
services to provide competitive brand advantages!
It’s about spotting opportunities and improve business
performance by creating valuable and unique digital
services throughout the customer decision journey.
Basically, we want to improve peoples real lives.
60

56.
Why is it important?
• Services defines the brand experience and influence brand
perception, just as much as product value-for-money
• Unique services attract new customers and give brands a
competitive advantage, as well as making the customers less
willing to change brand
• ‘Service reputation’ is key in social conversations with huge
impact on customer decision making

How to move forward
it’s all about people, story
telling and interaction

63.
But start by looking at your business
Understand your business and industry and think the impossible
about how social and digital can change your business tomorrow.
Set clear business goal and align them with customer opportunities.
When that is said, then It's time to look at the people, the stories and
the interaction.
Bridging business opportunities with doing shit.
