At the inaugural C4 Digicon Conference, I delivered the keynote address on "Building Community In The Digital Age: The How And Why".
Please note: Due to the fact that I present with Keynote, there is not a perfect transfer to PowerPoint so some slides may not be viewed optimally. For any questions, tweet me at @CBarrows or email me at CBarrows@gmail.com

Customers are 44% more likely to share their experiences—both online as
well as offline—after receiving a response from a business on Twitter.
19. EVERY MISTAKE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SURPRISE AND DELIGHT
Dave Kerpen and Loews Royal Pacific Resort
“A delighted customer wants to share that joy with others and pass the happiness on,
and a surprised customer can’t help but express his or her shock over an unexpected
event. If you can constantly surprise and delight - that IS your marketing.

How CLYW Used Data
‣ To find ways to differentiate from their competitors
‣ To enhance engagement opportunities across social platforms
‣ To better drive social sales of product and improve traffic to website
“We were always neck and neck with YoYo Factory.
It wasn’t until we started looking at data that we
were finally able to pull away from all of our
competitors.” - Chris Mikulin

Examples of Success
‣ Shortly after (in April 2015) saw 25% of web site sales come from social media referrals
‣ Had 2x more engagement on social media than their closest competitor
‣ Found social referrals sharing more than 2 minutes on the webpage
‣ Sold $10,000 in sales (via social) when selling their “Fools Gold” return top
After acknowledging the need to be more engaging on social (on Instagram and Twitter) due to completion
based data - CLYW saw tremendous success.
38. “ALL THE DATA IN THE WORLD CAN HELP YOU
IMPROVE YOUR COMPANY, BUT IT’S THE STORY,
EXPERIENCE, CREATIVITY AND AUTHENTICITY
THAT CAN TURN A FAN INTO AN AMBASSADOR”
