One challenge, which isn’t new, is the battle for consumer attention. If you’re looking to grow your user base, is there a best way to cost-effectively attract valuable users?

Businesses that can integrate social proof into their marketing efforts seamlessly will join this new “socially rich” class - rich in fans and followers, not number of zeroes in your bank account.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Liaqat Ali Hamiya because it provides insights into how to effectively create a strong marketing plan.

 

It's important for your business to have an effective marketing plan in addition to your business plan.

In order to move your marketing in the right direction you need to have both short-term and long-term goals. I agree that this enables us to know who our target market is and how to best reach them.

 

Hamiya explains the right steps to take in order to build a successful business marketing plan.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Use situation analysis to look into the market conditions. This provides insights on what to do, what to add, and what to avoid in order to make the best decisions.

 

  • There is always a changing demand for products and services. Knowing about market growth can help your business anticipate future trends how to best meet your customers' needs.

Use Social Proof In Your Websites And Boost Conversions

Use Social Proof In Your Websites And Boost Conversions | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

The world of internet has given rise to many web companies. The challenge for these companies is the competition to grow customer base and build the companies’ credibility. One of the ways to do that is to use social proof as a marketing tool.


Many people make decisions regarding a product or service based on what they see others do or say. People’s initial judgement on a website can be influenced by what others perceive based on their experiences. This can make or break a company especially if it is new in the market....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Social proof is the concept that people have a tendency to conform to the action of others with the assumption that other people are more knowledgeable.

Social proof & the psychology of consumer reviews

Social proof & the psychology of consumer reviews | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

So how does all of this fit into online marketing? If you can convince your potential customers that plenty of other people are using your product – service or software – and are happy with it, then you stand a much better chance of persuading them to get onboard. The message that we are trying to transmit is: a lot of people are wearing our shoes so it´s about time you were wearing them too. The shoes being our respective products, of course.


The folks over at Power Reviews tell us that more than 70 percent of Americans claim to look at online reviews before making a purchase decision and, reporting similar numbers, Search Engine Journal found that around 63 percent of consumers are “more likely to purchase from a site if it has product ratings and reviews”. To put it another way: if your product doesn’t have any online reviews, you could be sending away 60-70 percent of your potential market....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Social proof is a buzzword that has been floating around for some time now, and the term is gathering ever-increasing momentum in online marketing circles. Here's why it matters to marketing.

...like thousands of other words and phrases, it has many definitions including “a psychological phenomenon where people assume the actions of others reflect correct behavior for a given situation.” However, in our world of marketing and advertising, it means something completely different and according to Aileen Lee, partner at venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, “In the age of the social web, social proof is the new marketing.”


Basically if someone else has done it or used it and talked about it online, that’s social proof. As a B2B or B2C company, how do you go about getting people to talk about you or your product? And more importantly what do you do with that social proof once you get it?...
