\u00a0\"Engagement<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

The Social Web creates an expectation from the customer\u2019s perspective whether a prior, current, or potential customer of a two-way relationship with brands, products, and services that was nearly unthinkable just a generation of business ago.<\/p>\n

Customers now have a real voice that in advertising lingo resonates with others who share their lot: Just as soon as your awareness campaign have done their respective jobs by satisfactorily utilizing their new collaborative tools to vet your claims and promises. They\u2019ll ask questions of each other and share outcomes and in the process exert influence on pending or potential decisions of all involved. It\u2019s a kind of group-think, gone wild. At the heart of engagement is a fundamental connection between the business and the customer, a connection where the customer is not a target but is rather an equal partner. This shift in perspective is significant and will be difficult for many businesses to fully embrace. Altimeter\u2019s Jeremiah Owyang put it this way:<\/p>\n

\u201cCompanies know the problem will get worse before it prefers finest when they analyze Organizations proceeding realize they are no longer in charge. They certainly lack utmost desirable strategy that empowers their employees to catch up with their customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The very term \u201cengagement\u201d needs to be rethought in this context.<\/p>\n

Among marketers, engagement is generally taken as a measure of how involved someone is with a piece of content or an activity that is provided through email, a banner ad or a website. Traditional marketing and the time-tested and proven efforts that move potential customers through the purchase funnel still apply. In this view of engagement, however, the customer is compared to a fisherman, with the measurement of engagement resting on the amount of time spent by the fish as it considers the lure.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to understand whose perspective we are viewing engagement from, because in social marketplaces it is the perspective of the fish not the fisherman that matters most. Measuring engagement in a traditional context still matters:<\/p>\n

Knowing which ads \u201cget bites\u201d and which don\u2019t is of obvious interest. From the fisherman\u2019s point of view, it\u2019s good to catch the attention of a fish but simply attracting attention isn\u2019t enough. To move from attention to serious involvement, you need to adopt the fish\u2019s point of view. Ideally, you want the fish to design the lure for you, to show you where in the pond it spends its time, and to invite its friends to the party.<\/p>\n
