Introduction to community marketing Community marketing aims at marketing to existing customers by creating online communities where users discuss and exchange ideas about your company and products. It is a powerful way to gather feedback and opinions straight from customer who are using your product. It is a strong trust building tool which makes the customer’s voice heard .
Timeframe and cost involved Community marketing should be looked at as a long term affair. You must allow some time for discussions to begin and flow. Monitoring and moderating forums can be time consuming. Cost in this type of marketing can vary. You can add a forum to your website which is really a negligible cost.
What you must know You must always know what is being said about your company and product. Community marketing is the right way to find out. In this case you can become a resource for your customer and guide discussions and exchange of information among all parties. With the help of a community or forum a two way conversation of the customer and the company can be accomplished.
Tips and tactics The key to successful community marketing is to know your customer and to always be honest and transparent with them. Always focus on cementing a good relationship with your client and carry out discussions in a respectful manner.
Alternatives to consider Social network sites like Facebook and Myspace have gained traction in the marketing world. Communities on these sites will definitely gain exposure. Social book marking has recently caught up and making your presence on sites like Stumbleupon and Google bookmarks can turn out to be a good idea.
