In a fashion uncharacteristic of the Nigerian market, an online job portal reportedly secured venture funding. Gists say its about $1 million.

It has given small businesses the power for MASSIVE results

George Wright the Vice President (marketing) of Blendtec, a company in Utah decided built a campaign about their cornerstone product, Total Blender.

*(a high performance blender used in restaurants, coffee shops and other commercial concerns).

The total cost of starting was about $50 (being cost of a lab coat, six-pack of coke, a rake, and a domain name). He got the CEO and recorded him blending unusual things and posted the videos online.

The result was astonishing; blending an iPhone was its most popular video with 5.2 million views on YouTube alone in the first year ... media estimation of the resultant effect is estimated at $40 million.
As of now,
YouTube has 58 million views. Total Will it Blend views are 101 million. They have 150,000 subscribers. Sales have increased 7 times over since the campaign. The sales have grown in commercial products as well. Brand awareness has grown. Traditional media picks up on it without Blendtec paying (National TV, local media, blogs, Newspaper, you name it.)

Rules of Social Media Engagement

Have a clear Communication Strategy

Develop a social media policy for your employees not snoop around them. they still use it anyway. Just turn them into ambassadors.

Integrate traditional and digital media.

Changing Consumer psychographics will demand you make adjustments

Identify and profile your potential customers

Dont think outside the box

there is no box!

Get Creative
Dont just create products, satisfy human needs in a creative and comfortable way by understanding how they we live.

Get personal:

If your business is about reaching out to people, then let your brand be human. Share, link, communicate (extend customer service from bored officers and autoresponders)

Go join the conversation


If your target audience are talking about you, why not join the gist.

Go viral
Get others to tell your story give them something to talk about.

You can't just say it. You have to get others to say it to other people - James Foley, Group VP Global Marketing (FORD)

Relinquish Ownership
Create opportunities for customers to own the brand

Measure and Control

Learn.Unlearn.Relearn

In a rapidly changing world, your ability to measure and control your initiative will take you far

Your customers now have less time to decide + more choices to make from. They can even afford not to see you to make a buying decision

The way you respond to these changes can determine the future of your brand.
