Tourism's global Facebook campaign 'world class'

Monday, 27 July 2015, 11:55 am Press Release: Tourism New Zealand

27 July, 2015

Tourism’s global Facebook campaign ‘world class’

Tourism New Zealand is yet again leading the field in destination marketing entering a global partnership with Facebook to attract visitors to New Zealand.

The Kombi Diaries, a series of five short films following a couple’s trip around New Zealand is the result of a direct collaboration between Tourism New Zealand and Facebook’s in house creative team, developing integrated creative to work across their platforms of Instagram and Facebook. The global digital campaign featuring The Kombi Diaries will feature across nine markets.

The creative collaboration brought together people who traditionally would never work together to build story-driven content and Facebook describes the result as ‘world class’.

Tourism New Zealand’s Director of Marketing, Andrew Fraser said it was increasingly important to be able to work effectively across all digital platforms and working directly with Facebook was a great opportunity to ensure the campaign used the most effective best practice techniques.

“Essentially what we did was go to Facebook and ask them to create a content idea that addressed some of the barriers faced by people who are actively considering coming to New Zealand. Our research showed that while this audience understands the epic landscapes, there are gaps in their knowledge regarding their perceptions of our infrastructure, ease of travelling around New Zealand and the variety of things to do and see.

“These are the people Tourism New Zealand wanted to target. They are not the fly and flop type of visitor. They are the type of visitors looking for real experiences and appreciate authenticity and that is what The Kombi Diaries is about,” says Andrew.

Tourism New Zealand established a collaboration between production company, Symphony, and the Facebook creative shop to bring the idea to life. The result is an engaging, natural story of two American tourists missing the train to Wellington from Britomart and embarking on a Kombi road trip where they meet the locals and see the country.

“The Facebook Creative Shop was on the road trip, collaborated with the production crew and shot their own content. The Facebook team provided two strong insights. The first was a technique to start each of the films in reverse to grab attention in the opening seconds and keep people watching to the end. The second was around length, to not be restricted by 30 or 60 seconds, and make the films as long as was necessary to tell the story and remain interesting.”

The Facebook-produced content includes films, stills and cinemagraphs. In addition, www.newzealand.com/kombidiaries has been established to encourage sharing of stories.

Facebook Creative Shop’s Gavin Carver says: “This was a pure creative collaboration among people who, traditionally, would never have worked together. It’s paving the way for how we grow clients’ business, build story-driven content and creatively inspire each another. Symphony really understood the opportunity to tell brand stories on our platforms and the result is world-class.

“Tourism New Zealand is redefining marketing for this category. They have married art and science to create content that is relevant and engaging for a global audience on Facebook and Instagram.”

Symphony’s Client Liaison Peter Moore says: ” To be able to target stories into the Facebook medium and have them integrated into a global promotion is not the near future, but the now reality of brand storytelling. It’s fantastic to see Tourism New Zealand embracing this.”

New social media marketing certificate offered

With new social networks popping up practically every day, it is more important than ever for business leaders and marketing professionals to understand how to leverage these channels to achieve their goals. Thanks to Pierce College’s new social media marketing certificate, students can learn the ins and outs of the most popular social networks and how to help build brand awareness.

Pierce College student Jason Forgey already has his bachelor’s degree, but chose to go back to school to learn new skills to make himself even more competitive in the job market. His goal is to one day own his own business, and he knew that in order to be successful, he would need to gain an understanding of online and social media marketing.

“Social media plays such a huge role in marketing a business today,” he said. “When I decided to go back to school, I realized that some of the most relevant classes in business are being taught at Pierce College.”

Forgey is on his way to earning an associate degree in business entrepreneurship, and a certificate in social media marketing. “I have learned so much about how social media can help bring in new audiences and customers,” Forgey said.

This fully online, comprehensive training program is designed to help students gain the knowledge, skills and abilities employers are looking for in online marketing professionals.

The program can be completed in approximately one year, allowing students to gain an overall understanding of online marketing and using social media to sell or promote a product or service.

According to Professor Taryn Givenchy, each course requires that students complete a project that can one day be included in a portfolio to demonstrate their skills to potential employers.

Students will also learn how to develop social media marketing plans and learn ways to set their business apart from the competition.

“A big part of being able to be successful in social media marketing is to be able to ‘sell without selling’,” Givenchy said. “We also briefly cover topics such as how to design an ad, write copy and make videos. Our students learn how to create a variety of digital content, which is so important in this field.”

Digital Marketing: Amazon pitch-slapped over marketing fail

The idea of authentic marketing was developed on the premise that digital consumers are too savvy, and have too many resources available to them, to be fooled by dishonest, self-serving marketing messages. When attempted, sophisticated consumers will flee, but not before inflicting a little pain of their own.

In a recent example, Amazon felt the sting of a good pitch-slapping from disappointed customers who felt duped by the retailer’s self-proclaimed Christmas in July sale.

The blatantly overhyped “bigger than Black Friday” sale on July 15 had all the earmarks of another Amazon marketing blockbuster. The promotion of the Prime Day event was textbook perfect by any standard.

An integrated marketing and PR campaign included gorgeous creative, campaigns on all the major social media sites, email marketing, targeted display ads and even TV commercials. And of course, it had its own hashtag, #PrimeDay.

Amazon threw the party, everyone showed up, and that’s when the wheels came off the authenticity train.

Train wreck

Instead of delivering the kinds of deals that made Cyber Monday a thing of marketing legend, Amazon failed to deliver. The deals were ho-hum, the inventory was low, the website was glitchy and the staggered release of the “lightning deals” required consumers to devote too much time to monitoring the website to find something, anything they might want to buy.

Intended to bolster sagging summer sales and grow the Amazon Prime loyalty program, the event failed to deliver the merchandise Amazon’s holiday sales were known for. The social media firestorm was immediate and brutal.

Millions of tweets and messages filled social media sites with sentiments such as “#PrimeDay is a bigger disappointment than I am to my parents” and “LOL at Amazon getting everybody excited about Prime Day & then showing up like that clearance table at TJ Maxx.”

My personal favorite, “When I die I want whoever’s responsible for #PrimeDay to lower me into my grave so they can let me down one last time.”

Brand Damage

Probably the greatest risk to Amazon was downgrading its reputation for delivering an awesome customer experience. Let’s face it: Promising the consumer an awesome sale and then attempting to pass off granny panties and a family pack of brass knuckles as “lightning deals” is not a great customer experience.

Amazon claims it fulfilled a record number of orders on Prime Day and registered a record number of new Amazon Prime members. How many of those newly minted Prime members will stick around after the 30-day free trial membership expires remains to be seen, particularly if they were disappointed by their initial Prime Day experience.

Thanks, Amazon

Walmart.com went head-to-head with Amazon on Prime Day, and Bloomberg reports it experienced a surge in its online sales, along with traffic to its stores. Many other businesses reported record online sales on July 15 as well.

This is perhaps an indicator that consumers, primed to shop by the #PrimeDay promotions but disappointed by Amazon, clicked away to find better deals elsewhere.

A hallmark of authentic marketing is to understand and live your own brand. Until now, the Amazon brand focused on convenience, selection and trust, not competing with the deep-discount retailers. The almost primal disappointment expressed over Prime Day proves once again how deeply consumers identify with their favorite brands and how quickly those relationships can be severed.

People expected better.

Subject Line Testing: 5 Things To Keep In Mind - Business 2 Community

Kinda Fairly Extremely recently, we’ve talked some about A/B testing and the wonders it’ll do for your email marketing program. And while you can do A/B testing for a boatload of creative and design concepts with your emails, let’s focus more on perhaps the most important part of the email: the subject line.

Why is this at the top of the list? Because it’s the first thing your subscribers will see. And if the subject line doesn’t tickle their fancy right off the bat, you’re already treading in perilous waters. The kind with sharks or piranhas (the James Cameron kind).

We’ve got what we call a white paper in our ‘hood on the subject of testing, and we highly suggest you check it out …

… and, hey, it costs you nothing! Go buy an ice coffee with that money or a slice of ‘za.

Recommended for YouWebcast: Successful Customer Experiences Are Identity-Centric

5. Use Action-Oriented Vernacular

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, may she ever rest in peace, once advised that you “check your vernacular” (after which she’d get back to ya, but we’re just focusing on the “vernacular” part). If your email is for some sort of sale or product launch or anything that involves a transaction of cool, cool dollars — try using subject lines that create a sense of urgency for what you’re selling.

Notice the trigger words we used here. We told you what you were getting, the rarity of it, and that it doesn’t last long. This formula can be mixed and matched and moved around to serve whatever you’re selling.

There’s just one thing wrong with it. (Okay — there are a ton of things wrong with it, but let’s not stop the ball once it’s rolling.)

4. Shorter Is Better

You can only have so many characters in your subject line and, even then, it’s silly to feel like you need to use the entire space. In fact, we advise against doing so.

Because we live in an age where information hits us faster than even ludicrous speed, it’s important to grab your subscribers’ attention immediately and in a concise fashion. So while the above cry was very descriptive, it was far too long.

So take some time when it comes to writing your subject lines. We advise keeping a 50 character limit. Rewrite and edit and cut until you feel comfortable with the length and copy. And remember: We’re testing here, so come up with multiple variations, or even completely different lines. The goal is to find the one that gets your subscribers to open what you’re sending.

3. Review Past Successes

So now you have the basics down, but you’ve hit a creative or strategic block when it comes to crafting your subject line. Don’t worry about it: Look at what’s worked for you in the past.

Check the analytics you have hanging around on open-rates, conversions, and click throughs on campaigns that have straight killed it in the past. Heck, take it a step further: Look at campaigns that didn’t do so spectacularly; check for things like unsubscribes and opt outs.

Use this treasure trove of knowledge to zero in on subject lines that seemed to do pretty well. Even look for commonalities like specific words, or punctuation. They may seem tiny, but you never know when a single word could be the difference between a successful campaign and one that’s going nowhere fast.

2. Be Aware Of Spam Filters

Our Director of Deliverability gave a pretty good breakdown on avoiding spam filters. It’s a good quick read and we recommend you giving it a look.

But we’ll give you a quick crash course anyway because, hey, you’re already here. In a nutshell there are two big factors that determine if you’re heading for a subscriber’s spam box or not. The first one, perhaps obviously, is word choice. Because of the nature of today’s spam filters, it’s not exactly easy to nail down a comprehensive vocab list. This is in part due to the fact that that list is ever-changing. Still, some style choices like ALL CAPS AND EXCESSIVE EXCLAMATION POINTS CAN FILTER OUT YOUR EMAILS!!!!!!!! If you want some good examples of what will get you tossed in the spam jail, you have a great resource easily at your disposal: Your own spam box. Just perusing the first page of that can get you cued in on what isn’t passing for normal subject lines these days.

The second factor to keep in mind is that today’s spam filters take engagement into consideration. If you’re sending crisp, fresh-to-death emails that people are opening and clicking on, then you’ll be square. If your subscribers aren’t opening or are immediately reporting your sends as spam, then your email market program is in huge trouble.

1. First Impressions Are Important

You’ve been hearing this your entire life. Appear knowledgeable and confident in job interviews. Don’t annoy your teacher on the first day of class. Don’t order chicken fingers and macaroni and cheese on a first date.

Why? Because the first impression someone gets of you is going to be a deciding figure in whether you’re worth their time or not. The same holds true with for your subscribers. When people subscribe to your email list, your welcome email’s subject line should make a splash, not miss the pool. Make sure you grab their attention right off the bat. If a subscriber has filled out some preferences, go ahead and send them something relevant. Is there a call-to-action involved? Make sure they know, and don’t be annoying about it.

Myths concerning affiliate marketing are appealing and attractive. People who do not know the entire system the wrong way round are prone to believing that it is something capable of giving them great fortune overnight. Stories concerning affiliates who earn tremendous amounts of money swim in their heads, and while these stories are as true as they can be, there are those who believe that they are going to have the same fortune once they indulge in this particular business.

It is true enough that affiliate marketing is financially rewarding. People who have gone through everything to be able to succeed in this business are reaping the seeds that they untiringly sowed. Many of them enjoy the kind of existence that was not possible for them to have had under ordinary circumstances. Having gone through the A-Z of affiliate marketing, however, these people are the ones who know that while such business is lucrative, there is absolutely no easy money in it.

Ignorance of this fact is one of the main reasons why there are people who fail miserably in the internet business. There are those who believe in myths concerning the easy money involved in systems such as affiliate marketing. They do not know that there are those who have wasted time, effort and too many resources in trying to pursue the life of ease that they believe this business will give them. And so they go into affiliate marketing armed with nothing but myths and fantastical notions of wealth swimming in their consciousness, never realizing that they bound to make mistakes that would prove to be their downfall.

What may be the reason why in businesses such as affiliate marketing, many are called but few are chosen? Perhaps the answer lies on the fact that many affiliates make mistakes that result from their ignorance of facts concerning how the entire business runs. Affiliate marketing is not as simple as an affiliate promoting a merchant’s wares through his website and getting paid for it. It is also about knowing the market and the customers at hand.

Discovering what the most common mistakes affiliates make can perhaps dispel the gloom about myths surrounding affiliate marketing by correcting some wrong notions about it. It might also be able to make those concerned understand that like any other business, there are dos and donts involved in this one if they want to make each of their steps count. The first common mistake affiliates make is their lack of knowledge concerning principles involved in their business. This refers to the affiliate’s knowledge of search engines in particular.

Affiliate marketing involves advertising, and advertising through the internet could not have been better without the existence of search engines. What every affiliate has to do is to make these search engines his best friend through studying search engine optimization closely. This way, he is able to know what to do in connection with building a better website to ultimately use for his business.

The second is that affiliates make the mistake of stuffing their sites with banners that do not provide enough information about the product at hand. The best way to battle this mistake is to provide good content hand-in-hand with such banners. It is important for customers to know and understand the features of a product, and good content will be able to help them realize this goal.

The third is that there are affiliates who make the mistake of promoting only one product. Consequently, customers are not given enough options to choose from. There is also the risk of generating fewer sales as compared to having more options for customers ponder about. It is always better to give them a few better alternatives than to give them only one.

The fourth is that there are affiliates who make the mistake of promoting too many products. As a result, customers are confused and end up beyond making a choice. It is perhaps good to give them only the best choices. This is because it is ultimately up to them to judge which one is the best for them to patronize.

All in all, affiliates that are doomed to fail in this business are those who do not exert enough effort to understand everything involved in the industry that they are in. Knowing their path step by careful step will prove to be beneficial to them, as there is no other way to succeed than to go through any path slowly but surely.

Facebook Testing Buy Buttons and Storefronts on Pages

By Sara Angeles, BusinessNewsDaily Staff Writer July 17, 2015 07:00 am EST

Credit: Facebook

Once upon a time, Facebook was just another way to create an online presence and market a business on social media. But the company is quickly claiming its stake on social media e-commerce.

Facebook is currently testing new tools that let merchants sell directly on their Facebook Pages, a report by BuzzFeed revealed. The company has been building online storefronts right on Facebook Pages, with some of the pages even featuring new buy buttons to sell directly to customers.

This new shops feature is just the latest of Facebook’s e-commerce initiatives. Just last year, the company launched buy buttons on sponsored posts, then unveiled Messenger payments shortly after. It’s only fitting that businesses will soon be able to use the social network as an all-in-one e-commerce solution. [Facebook for Business: Everything You Need to Know]

“With the shop section on the page, we’re now providing businesses with the ability to showcase their products directly on the page,” Emma Rodgers, product marketing manager at Facebook, said in a statement.

The new Facebook Page shops essentially allow businesses to use their Facebook Pages as online storefronts and the entire Facebook platform as an e-commerce solution. The platform will be complete with social media marketing, all the way down the sales funnel from product discovery to customer service and a checkout system.

Facebook Page shops won’t be limited to desktop, either. With most Facebook users accessing the social network on mobile phones, shops will also penetrate mobile commerce via the Facebook app. Shops will be displayed very visibly beneath the About section, making products for sale very hard to miss.

The Facebook Page shops platform is still very much in its early stages, however. For instance, there is still no search function for either products being sold or stores that currently have a shop on their Facebook Pages. BuzzFeed suggests that search would work similar to the current graph search feature; users could search by typing “shops with sales” or “stores that sell T-shirts” in the search bar.

Nonetheless, the new e-commerce tool promises to focus on the customer experience, with Facebook adding new “incremental features and capabilities,” Rodgers said.

The Facebook Page shops feature is currently being piloted by a number of undisclosed brands. Facebook has yet to announce when it will start rolling out the new service or how it will charge businesses, so that could mean anything from commissions to payment processing and transaction fees, or even a pricing model similar to that used for Facebook Ads.

A Friendly Giant: How Facebook is Using Instant Articles to Woo Publishers - Business 2 Community

Facebook, always known to be a giant, is appearing increasingly friendly as of late.

To publishers (and advertisers), that is.

Whether the discussion is about social media, media in general, new avenues for publishing content, or anything else vaguely media-related – Facebook is likely to come up at some point. With a fifth of the world’s population logged on as active users, this is inevitable. These truths represent both great challenges and great opportunities for publishers and marketers.

To wit, Facebook has tinkered with the way they approach their relationships with large publishers of digital content. Seeking to improve their own user experience (we all prefer experiencing a platform when the content we’re scrolling through is high quality and interesting, after all) while deepening their lucrative ties with publishers, they have announced one of the most important of these changes: Instant Articles.

Facebook Met Publishers on Their Terms

Basically, Instant Articles are News Feed-based spaces where publishers can post highly interactive multimedia “articles.” I use quotations because the tools Facebook is offering for building this type of content are indicative of far more stimulating experiences than merely reading a traditional newspaper article. Some of these features include colorful cinemagraph covers, autoplay videos, intensely colorful and easily zoomable photographs, and even interactive maps to give stories a geographic context. Clearly, these are meant to be engaged with on a deep level, something that both publishers and advertisers can get behind.

Facebook sees these as a momentous new development in the field of online publishing:

“Powerful new creative tools bring your stories to life. Instantly zoom into high-resolution photos and tilt to explore in detail. Watch autoplay video come alive as you scroll through the article. See where it all happened with interactive maps. Hear the author’s voice with embedded audio captions.”

The language is both bold and provocative, as are the digital tools they are describing. With Instant Articles, publishers can create a user experience that is equal parts evocative, informative, and unique to their brand. While some publishing giants were wary of going full bore into the new publishing platform, Facebook was able to entice nine major American and British publishing outlets: The New York Times, National Geographic, and BuzzFeed being the most often discussed of the bunch.

Facebook knew from the start that publishers would have concerns about the new strategy, largely stemming from directing their user experience away from their own websites and on to the Facebook News Feed. According to The New York Times (who, coincidentally are one of the publishers now on board), employees from The Guardian were the most hesitant, suggesting to peers at other outlets that “publishers should band together to negotiate deals that work for the whole industry, and should retain control of their own advertising.” It’s unclear whether such collusion was necessary, but one thing is clear: Facebook understood the concerns and went all out in alleviating them. In order to create a program that was too good for the publishers to pass up, Facebook took a number of measures.

1. Ad Revenue: Facebook is allowing publishers to keep 100% of the ad revenue if they sell their own ad space, and 70% of the ad revenues if they leave it up to Facebook to sell the ad space through their own network.


2. Final Cut: Facebook is also allowing publishers to have total control over what content is created and how it is displayed. As Contently puts it, “In essence, publishers can use Facebook Instant Articles as an alternative platform to deliver a superior experience for their readers coming from Facebook – all without sacrificing ad revenue.”


3. Front and Center: Facebook is still running the show, of course, and thus will be in control of how visible these ads remain. Once again, though, the motivating factor for them is an improved user experience. Therefore, they’ll likely be doing everything in their power to make the content publishers create appear early and often in users’ News Feeds, so as to satisfy the promises made in those agreements and also give users easy access to quality, visually stimulating content.

BuzzFeed is the publishing outlet widely deemed to be the most primed to succeed with the new format. Because their brand is built around engaging with content in shorter intervals with unique formats (quizzes, lists, etc.), the Instant Article platform will suit them well. Facebook has already assured them that Instant Articles will be a suitable platform for their varied approach to displaying and sharing content.

Publishers shouldn’t be the only group excited about this development, though. Advertisers should be making very careful note of how ad space will function with these tools. Whether buying ad space from the publishers directly or from Facebook (which, once again, would mean Facebook would get to keep 30% of those ad revenues), marketers and ad agencies should be salivating at the thought of these highly engaging and visible plots of digital real estate.

As Marketing Land points out, it’s becoming less and less common for publishers (no matter how large) to have large sales teams. Because of this, we may see publishers opt for the indirect advertising method, in which Facebook would be in control of the ad inventory. The 30% decrease in revenue collection could be potentially made up for by the ability to take advantage of Facebook’s advanced targeting methods. Also, marketers will be able to benefit from a new, “no-nonsense means of serving more trackable, targeted ads across high-value media properties.” In other words, marketers will benefit immensely from yet another innovative and highly specific method of targeting audiences through Facebook.

Formatting

In terms of formatting, the ads will have certain restrictions. Facebook has posted the following specifications for Instant Article ad units:

• 1 large banner ad, sized 320×250 or 300×250 pixels – or – 2 small banners sized 320×50 or 300×50 pixels for every 500 words of content


• A maximum of 4 total ads per article, and a maximum of 2 small banners per article.


• All articles are allowed to have at least one ad, regardless of the length.


• Publishers may include no more than one house ad per article.


• No ads may be placed “above the fold” on the first view of the article.


• Publishers may not include ads in autoplay videos embedded in their articles, although ads in third-party video players are allowed

It’s interesting to see these specifications as a window into the way Facebook sees themselves benefiting from these instant articles. It all comes down to user experience. So, when users are scrolling down their News Feeds and are confronted with an Instant Article, Facebook ensures that the ads included won’t be the first visible element. Also, they ensure that the ads will be useful, not merely a way for publishers to shill their content, at least not more than once per article. As consistency is part of the foundation on which UX is built, Facebook is making sure that videos aren’t preceded by ads. Since it’s asking more of a user to sit through a video than it is to simply see a written blurb, Facebook knows that this last specification will make the user more willing to engage with the high-quality video content.

Recap

Because it’s still such a new advertising platform, it will take some time to develop useful results metrics and best practices guidelines. Already though, ad space on Instant Articles is signaling a dramatic change in the way publishers and advertisers digitally interact. Ultimately, if Facebook doesn’t go back on the concessions made to publishers so far, (this is possible, of course, as Facebook can essentially do whatever it wants) the ability to advertise on Instant Articles represents huge brand building opportunities. Users will be met with Instant Articles in a highly visible (the format is exclusively mobile) and high quality (the examples so far are visually rich, easy to engage with, and varied in subject matter) content. How this changes in the future remains to be seen, but marketers, advertisers, and business alike should all be taking careful note of how it all shakes out.
