Ch. 5 – talkers: iden8fy the right ones, find a way to reach them, and feed them… Ch. 6 – topics “let’s give them something to talk about”

WOM starts with a TOPIC of conversa8on

Great customer service – Panera (small acts of kindness) h"p://www.dailydot.com/society/panera-‐bread-‐act-‐of-‐kindness/ Earlier this year (Aug), a guy posted about an awesome experience he had with a Panera manager who went out of her way to fulfill the request of his cancer-‐stricken grandmother (got her clam-‐chowder on a day they don’t serve it + a box of cookies)
The next day, his mother reposted it and tagged Panera in the post Over 500K likes and 23K comments Manager: that’s really the kind of company we work for” – didn’t see it as a huge deal. Zappos – 365 day returns, no ques8ons asked, free shipping (no one will keep the shoes for that long and return them, but it makes them stand out) Red Envelope – no one will repeat their mo"o/mission, but they will talk about their packaging (elegant red box with giant bow) Every company has a great topic – just have to find it

4 quali8es Don’t overthink it – great, yet simple, easy, silly Resist the urge to make it complicated Quizno’s – Subway’s always had them, but Quizno’s made it the topic of conversa8on

No “and” – “try us because we’re this, that, this, that and that” NO! “We give you free ice cream while you wait” Topics don’t work well when they become lists – e.g. friendly, affordable, experienced etc. Repeatable within a second or so – otherwise, no one repeats it Unexpected – prom dresses and tuxedos out of duct tape (Duct Tape created an annual “Stuck at Prom (.com)” contest and awards college scholarships) or stain remover as a great weed killer

h"p://www.dezeen.com/2012/07/16/ikea-‐lounge-‐at-‐charles-‐de-‐gaulle-‐airport/ IKEA installed a temporary lounge in an airport in Paris -‐ furnished like a house with living rooms, bedrooms and a playroom for children. Depar8ng passengers can even take a nap in one of nine beds while awai8ng their flights.

h"p://www.adweek.com/adfreak/ikeas-‐cardboard-‐outdoor-‐posters-‐fold-‐down-‐moving-‐boxes-‐141117 Ikea and Leo Burne" in Toronto recently won a Gold Effie for this campaign featuring cardboard posters that folded out into moving boxes. Decorated with slogans like "Fill 'er up!" and "Take this box and stuff it," they were placed in strategic spots around Montreal in 8me for that city's Moving Day last July 1. Furniture discounts and dinner offers were also part of the program. Ikea says store traffic and sales rose about 14 percent and 25 percent, respec8vely.

Tests: Telephone – recognizable High school – glimmer of interest Customer – leak and see what happens (do they respond, repeat, anyone new come in and ask about the topic?) Fresh: Success can eat away at a topic’s effec8veness – not cool anymore, less interes8ng Don’t quit – if you stop doing that interes8ng thing, people will no8ce (Midwest Airlines cuts costs and pays – page 108)

Get people talking immediately, without spending a lot of $ or fundamentally changing your business 1. Doesn’t take a lot of finesse, but give them a li"le oomph 2. Lenscraters (fixes glasses for free even if they were bought somewhere else),
headsets.com (thank you email for each order), Sears (within 90 days, no ques8ons asked exchanges)
3. Businesses are way too serious these days h"p://www.thecrackteam.com/ 4. Buy from a store, it goes to a great cause” (Thompson – Veterans)

1. You put money in ads to get people to see it – it’s even be"er if the REPEAT it. “Where’s the beef” and Bud Light’s “Wassup” and “That Was Easy” (Staples – donated proceeds to charity) – *try to build WOM into every ad
2. Viral is an outcome, not an objec8ve (Old Spice) – like recording a top 40 song (you can only record a great song, promote it and hope it gets top 40). It’s more than just “forwardable emails” like in the book.
3. Salesforce.com – video/audio/presenta8ons from every conference; book publishers – free chapter; downloadable ar8cles; ShortStack.com – free templates.
4. Weinermobile (not necessarily deep and sophis8cated, but definitely WOM; Jones Soda (not drinkable, but talkable); Half.com convinced a town to rename itself from Halfway to Half.com (substan8al publicity); Nathan’s hot-‐dog ea8ng contest; Target and $99 ACs in Manha"an on a hot day (didn’t even have a store there); party, contest, hire stunt men etc.

LT, sustainable WOM – fundamentally talkworthy (all the way through), company that’s truly immersed in WOM philosophy 1. Create irresis8ble things – e.g. Moleskin notebooks, Tiffany’s diamonds, Jeff
Ruby’s steaks 2. Surprising, special, one-‐of-‐a-‐kind; topics that only YOU can be associated with;
Nike – customized shoes (ID); Trader Joe’s (unusual items); Crayola (Wonder magic markers that don’t work on walls or children)
3. REI – test climbing gear in-‐store, test shoes on simulated mountain trails; den8st (ask about musical taste on informa8on form); bridal salon (comfy, feed them, entertain)
4. Progressive – price quotes from compe8tors (even when they’re be"er, + Flo); Best Buy (Geek Squad – nerdy uniforms, geekmobiles)

People don’t repeat marke8ng copy – if it looks good in a brochure, press release or ad, it’s bad WOM topic Page 124 – new topics worksheet Add beer! Add caffeine!

Ch. 5 – listening (brand monitoring and private communi8es) Ch. 6 – talking
17
Marketers no longer dictate the path, people dictate – nor do they lead the dialogue Awareness – people learning from each other, engaged in conversa8on at scale (increase relevance of regular people and dilu8ng importance of tradi8onal adver8sing) Blendtec – “will it blend?” – not shou8ng, talking with customers and listening as they respond back Adver8sing (WOMM book) = cost of being boring

Dialogue – frequent, diverse, lots of updates Blog post – avoiding customer support calls/complaints (talk with a few, solve the problems of hundreds) ROI – high visibility, answer customers’ ques8ons, head off PR problems, insight through customer feedback, trust through personaliza8on
29
1. E.g. an execu8ve, CEO that’s aching to tell their story, to say what’s on his or her mind
2. Who do you want to reach and for what purpose? 3. Listen to what’s being said out there (industry, compe8tors, influencers) before
diving in 4. Announcing new products, suppor8ng customers, responding to news stories,
recrui8ng, humanizing employees/execs, etc. 5. Payoff vs. cost (esp helpful for gaining buy-‐in) 6. E.g. single blog or mul8ple, # of contributors, frequency etc. 7. Write 5-‐10 before going live (allows you to work out kinks, explore topics,
determine capabili8es etc)
8. Review posts, who’s the backup, etc. 9. Communica8ng just how official the POV is 10. Tradi8onal methods (press release, email customers), buy keywords, include links
to other blogs, post comments, keyword-‐rich posts 11. The point is to engage in dialogue (not one-‐way communica8on), monitor/
moderate the blog 12. Genuine statements – e.g. Dell’s laptop ba"eries catching fire: linked to a picture

Bob Arnold at P&G (now at Kellogg) Marke8ng feminine care products to young girls Ge}ng the word out – featured in kits distributed for health classes; weekly email, free sample area Customers – willing to share because the company solved their problems (vs. their own)
46 countries – more similari8es than differences
31
1. Joiners – e.g. Mini owners, groups where people naturally support each other, fans/enthusiasm and shared interests (something to bond over)
2. Passions and pain points, cheaper to sponsor exis8ng sites than building your own 3. What are we ge}ng out? How will it be beneficial? 4. Must constantly support and maintain, care and feeding – new content, features,
redesigns
32
Complexity – financial services, tech, cars, home improvement, fashion Accessibility – they insist on helping each other
