… mostly!
Let’s see what we’re playing with.
State of the Internet Na1on 2010.
South Africa has about 50 million people.
Of those, only 5.3 million have access to the “PC” Internet.
There are around +-‐ 2.8 million FaceBook users.
But only about 60,000 TwiHer users.
Yet we have about 49 million ac9ve SIM Cards.
But only 3.3 million people “Browsing the Web” on their phones
About 9 million people access the Internet using a mobile applica9on.
But the market is so fragmented that we can’t really reach them
effecKvely.

• Listening is good – it tells you what people want • Listen for long enough and you’ll get an idea of what’s required (or whether) you want to respond… • Listening tools are free & can help you understand a customer’s reacKon to your iniKaKves / external factors
• Remember your audience is skewed unless your product is exclusive to digital channels • Simple listening tools can’t help you process large volumes ORM

Google Adver1sing
• Control your budget • Find and target customers very specifically • Easy to setup and manage ad campaigns • Fan Pages let you create a free space on the web
• Playing in a social space, don’t be too intrusive. • Click through rates aren’t high, but if they don’t click, you don’t pay! • Having a presence is good, but have the fulfillment to back it up

Google Apps for your Domain
• Cloud tools are usually free. Microsoj Office costs a lot. • They allow you to collaborate on objects and gather data very easily • Using these apps under your domain adds layer of professionalism
• It’s not as good. But do you need “as good”? • Security is always a risk. Ask Twi9er about their confidenKal docs!
