SOCIAL MEDIA

Lately people are talking about luxury brands and digital marketing. Is Digital Killing the Luxury Brand? Invariably, these discussions evaluate the dangers of leveraging a wholly democratic platform in order to promote a wholly exclusive industry. But, as usual, the discussion misses the point. The question is not if luxury brands can safely leverage digital media. The question is how. With that in mind, here are five commandments for marketing luxury brands using the most
democratic media in the world.
0 You shall democratize but not downgrade

Luxury brands obsess over losing exclusivity in the digital space, but this concern puts the cart in front of the horse. A luxury brand generates exclusivity by cultivating a block of consumers who wish they could buy the brands products, but cannot afford them. Simply, if luxury brands want to remain luxurious, they have to en-
Just like the luxury products and services themselves, the quality of luxury digital marketing relies on ideation and execution. A dress is not inherently luxurious; the difference lies in its design and high-quality manufacture. The same is true of digital marketing media.

gage not only their paying customers, but also people who want but cant have. This is where the democratizing power of social and new media comes into play. Social media enables luxury brands to build tremendous clout among the aspirational set. In some cases, social media may be the only place aspiring consumers can reach the brand at all. This, in turn, builds tremendous prestige among the affluent set. In order to democratize without downgrading, luxury brands must maintain the digital conversation by engaging more aspirational consumers and including them in a controlled brand dialogue. On the other hand, the brand must prevent brand downgrading by embracing cleverness and avoiding mimicry, by ensuring innovation and not stealing from their traditional campaigns, and by treating digital media like the marketing powerhouse that it is. All the while, luxury brands must strive toward the highest creativity, elegance and production quality. Only in this way can luxury brands both cultivate desire and maintain exclusivity, and thus, grow in the digital world safely.
0 You shall honor digital media

If luxury brands indeed fear brand dilution, they must first stop diluting the quality of their digital media. Luxury clients may say, But its just a behind-the-scenes video for Facebook and YouTube! Do we really need to spend that much on production? The answer is always yes. Digital luxury marketing is only as luxurious as the brands are willing to make it. Just like the luxury products and services themselves, the quality of luxury digital marketing relies on ideation and execution. A dress is not inherently luxurious; the difference lies in its design and high-quality manufacture. The same is true of digital marketing media. Luxury brands must decide whether their digital marketing is luxurious or commonplace, and they must commit to making their digital messaging more beautiful, more innovative and more elegant than anything else out there. Only then can they preserve their up-market brand values.
0 You shall not steal from old media

The primary reason luxury brands fail at social and new media is because they havent bothered to understand it. Luxury brands take media developed and produced for traditional deployment and force it onto their social and new media platforms.
0 You shall not kill the conversation

Luxury brands worry that if they allow interactivity or usergenerated content, if they initiate a conversation between brand and buyer, they will lose control of the brand image. This is simply not true. There are many ways to encourage interactivity while still maintaining control of the brand. Look at Burberrys Art of the Trench, a photo-sharing destination that primarily features Burberry-commissioned, high-end photography of models in the brands seminal trench coats. Whats more, it also allows consumers inside access if they upload their own pictures (which are vetted and selected by the brand). Therefore, Burberry successfully reaches a significant audience while maintaining brand control. Luxury brands must learn that they can create digital campaigns with embedded brand control. Killing the conversation outright is not the answer.
13
LONGITUDE 64
For instance, they digitize a traditional TV spot by compressing and uploading to YouTube, or they post a print ad to Facebook. This blanket strategy weakens the perception of luxury brands. Just as one wouldnt put a 30-second static print ad on TV, so should one avoid stealing traditional media by hawking it in the digital space. Luxury digital media requires a development, production and deployment strategy specific to its digital channels. Nothing less will do.
0 You shall not covet the neighbours media channels

Just because one luxury brand is successfully utilizing a particular digital approach does not mean another luxury brand should follow the same strategy. There is a sense of urgency associated with digital platforms, , but luxury brands must be careful not to embrace a platform just because its hot. Only those platforms that spring directly from a core brand ideal or customer need can succeed without diluting the brand itself. Having a marketing strategy is good, but having a marketing strategy that works is great! Using social media requires a careful thought process, strategic planning and flawless execution. to adopt social media. Sooner than later, such businesses are caught offguard and their social media ambitions reach a tame end. It is important for businesses to analyze how social media can help them. They need to observe how people use social media and how their competitors are leveraging it. Analyze your business needs and how various social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others can fulfill these needs.
0 Observe and analyze your marketing strategy

Very often, businesses jump on to Facebook and Twitter without even analyzing what they need out of these social networks. They claim that since their competitors are using social media so they have no other choice but

Longitude 64 The Yachting Network
A new approach to yacht brokerage and yacht charter marketing: integration with social networks
elcome to the Longitude 64 monthly magazine. The primary purpose of this magazine is to present yachts for brokerage and yachts for charter from clients using our yachting solutions. In order to provide them with a competitive advantage, we decided to integrate our online platform called The Yachting Network with the Adobe inDesign workflow. The end result being that all the listings from clients using our online yachting solutions are as well included in our monthly magazines. It brings them maximum exposure as well as brand recognition. We believe that there is still a need for a printed version to allow readers to be able to read offline while traveling for example. Furthermore, it allows our clients to reach potential buyers who are not always willing to stay a long time in front of a computer screen in order to review luxury yachts for sale or charter. A printed version still has its charm and provides added value to our clients. We hope you will enjoy reading every month our magazines. In the following months, every site part of The Yachting Network will be integrated in the Adobe Indesign workflow in order to generate monthly magazines adding again some exposure and visibility to
our clients listings. he architecture of our platform now comes full circle. We are able to provide to all clients using our yachting and real estate solutions an integrated platform able to deliver online and offline visibility through very efficient web services.
W U
e believe that a tight integration between the web sites of our clients running one of our yachting solutions and social networks and coupled with a printed version will bring them a very powerful platform to increase the visibility of their listings.
urthemore, our complete integration to over 15 social networks through APIs allows clients using our solutions to post automatically listings updates on their social media accounts without extra work.

nlike third party listing sites specializing in yachting, clients list their yachts only once on their websites in our yachting solutions and then syndication takes place. It insures that their domain name and web site is the place where all listings are managed, indexed first by search engines and where all inbound traffic goes back to when syn-
dicated to other sites.

What to include in your social media marketing strategy

A well planned and executed social media marketing (SMM) strategy takes you where your users and buyers are. It lets you share the voice of your organization, get real time feedback for your products, create an instant buzz for your new product offerings, build customer loyalty, and reach an informed target audience. The great thing about a well carried out SMM strategy is that it requires very little financial investment from your side.
0 What to include in your social media marketing strategy

An effective SMM strategy will leverage all quality online social hubs where users and customers meet and converse. A good SMM portfolio includes a presence on diverse and multimedia social sites. Lets take a look at the key elements of a good SMM strategy. Social Networking Sites Social Networking SitesThere are various social networking sites where you can create profiles to connect with your target audience directly. Create a Facebook fan page. Create tweets and retweets on Twitter. Create your organizations profile on Linkedin. According to statistics released by Facebook, the social networking website has around 500 million active users, of which around 50% log in every day for commenting or browsing. A Facebook fan page thus makes a lot of sense to reach an active online audience. On the other hand, Twitter has real time updates and news-worthy tweets that even search engines show in their search results. The tweets about your products are quickly read and responded to by other users. A Twitter account to respond to and create a buzz about your product is therefore essential. Linkedin is accessed by a variety of professionals and businesses looking to connect and research for work and business. Hence, a Linkedin account for your organization is great for networking within the industry or with vendors. Blogs, Microblogging engadget_logoBlogs give you a wide platform to talk about key issues. Blogs are also a great way of bringing traffic to your main website. For an effective blog, you need to post fresh and relevant content frequently, monitor and respond to comments, create internal links, and build a community of loyal readers. Microblogging through sites like Twitter also lets you send short, crisp updates. Some famous company blogs are www.engadget.com, googleblog. blogspot.com, blog.facebook.com &

0 Points to consider before formulating a social media marketing strategy

The sites mentioned above are very useful and can change the path of your organization towards tremendous success. However, if done without proper planning these same sites and strategies can backfire as well. The most important thing for you to do before you begin charting out an SMM strategy, is that you first need to fully understand the status quo of your organizations online presence. Here are a few things to consider before you formulate a social media marketing strategy: Analyze your online presence: l Use metrics to find out more about your online presence. You l l l l
need to ask questions like: What is the total count of visitors on my site? Where do they come from? How many of them are directed by search engines? Find out how often your website gets linked by other sites. Check how often you post fresh content. Find out if you have an active presence in target markets. Rate yourself vis--vis your competitors in the online environment. Find out what your competitors are doing better than you, and also what you are doing better. Check your status on social networking sites. Do you have a presence already that needs to be optimized? Or, do you need to start from scratch?
The most important thing for you to do before you begin charting out an SMM strategy, is that you first need to fully understand the status quo of your organizations online presence.
22
Analyze your position Define and analyze your target audience: l Check where your target audience generally interact more. l Check what keywords they are using. l Find out what they need, and where their interests lie. Identify and analyze what you want from your SMM strategy: l Check the enthusiasm and commitment of your top management and marketing department for having a dedicated SMM strategy. In case the commitment seems inadequate, discuss and educate till you get a dedicated and informed agreement. l Assign responsibility to the correct department, whether it is PR, marketing, communications, or other. Create a team with well defined goals regarding your SMM strategy. This may mean creating micro-goals like number of blog posts per week, time duration set for responding etc. l Study the existing sites and find out where you need to focus your attention the most. l Create measurable target goals of what you want to achieve from your SMM strategy.
Blog posts must be frequent enough to sustain interest. In case of critical comments, its better to respond to them immediately and fairly. Negative comments need not always be deleted or removed. If you suspect trolls or deliberate misinformation, one way of ensuring more transparency is by creating a Login requirement for posting comments on your blog. Start your journey now! Remember, the beginning may be slow. It takes time to engage your audience and build loyalty. Keep your interactions transparent, fair, and timely. With a continual engagement in diverse social media tolls, you will be soon rewarded with a vibrant, online community for your organization.
0 Monitoring your social media strategy

For your SMM strategy to pay you long-term dividends, you need to make sure you have practices and checks in place that ensure efficient execution and a quick response.
The following measures will help you ensure responsiveness and professional interaction:Monitor your progress closely A query, tweet, or a comment requiring clarification on the Facebook page, blog, or other portals must be replied to within 24 hours. Blog posts, tweets must be of high quality and value and/ or knowledge enhancing. The content in your posts should be good enough to get linked by other sites.

Common Mistakes
companies Make With Strategy: Some of the most common mistakes companies make with social media revolve around making decisions that arent consistent with having good business sense. Because social media tools are free, some companies tend to take the wrong approach: use all tools to see what sticks. Here are some of the most common mistakes to avoid with social media strategy:
Yachting & Social Networks Strategy

While its useful to get into the details and tactics of social media, a solid marketing strategy should work no matter the medium. The smartest companies will focus on strategy because in the world of Web 2.0, the tools are constantly changing.
0 Not developing a social media strategy

Because social media is the hottest trend in marketing, companies assume that all they have to do is set up a Twitter account and a Facebook fan page. This is the equivalent of pulling random magazines out of off the rack and purchasing full page color ad in each one, then throwing together a quick and dirty PowerPoint flyer to run. Just like any other communication medium, social media requires a well-thought out marketing strategy plan. utmost importance. Furthermore, because
0 Perfecting a social it takes time to build social media accounts, every minute you waste by not being there media strategy
Even though a social media strategy is important, dont wait for the strategy to set up your companys accounts. Reserving your companys name on various social media sites is of the is followers you could be losing.
0 Gathering followers rather than building a network

There are no shortcuts in social media, and the bottom line is companies have to build relationships with their customers before
they can sell anything. Social media may seem free, but the hidden time costs to build relationships Social media is not a quick way to make more sales; in fact, social media actually adds cycle time to the sales process. Just like any other process, a company must consider how much of its resources to invest.
26
Every social media user has a very clear idea of what social media means to them, and how they want to be approached by companies on social media. Most companies dont realize that the way they approach social media sends its own message to consumers.
0 Putting all eggs in one basket
Its exciting to see extraordinary results on one form of social media, and tempting to invest all your resources into whats working. Try to resist. With the speed at which technology changes, social media is starting to look similar to the fashion cycle: one day youre in, the next day youre out. Tools fall in and out of fashion all the time remember Friendster, and more recently, MySpace? Companies that build a large equity on one tool will find themselves with nothing if the tool loses popularity. While having a social network presence through Facebook, Twitter and other social networks proves mandatory nowadays, a new concept tested by our yachting solutions is to benefit from Facebook groups and social activity by bringing back friends and followers to the companys website in order to propose targeted services and fea-
tures pertaining to your business activity.
0 Facebook
On Facebook for example, the new graph API allows to post update statuses about listings, upload images in albums , post events in calendar.. As well, you can use the facebook user authentication to login into your site and read or contribute to your content. The advantage is that you can at the same time know more about this person and propose a subscription to your newsletter. When he connects to your site with his facebooks user id , you will be able then to send messages directly through the facebook graph API. It will allow you to keep this user informed about your company activities automatically through your website. It provides an extra level of possibilities since you no longer need a user to subscribe to your newsletter. While you manage your own facebook groups , you can post automatically news to the groups and invite all new friends automatically to join the groups through the APIs.
0 Friends and Followers

By inviting your friends and followers to visit and connect to your site using their
27
SOCIAL NETWORKS
facebook user id , you give them the possibility to share information and recommend other users to connect with you. On the new site www. yachting.vg, we are currently experimenting with several new functionalities of the Graph API. Integrating your site more tighly with external social networks will allow you to communicate faster new information to be given to followers and groups. You will be able to provide a constant flow of information and news through automated tasks. When users visit your website, your can control the information given to them as well as getting their feedback on specific polls or through a comment system. You can inform your groups, friends and followers that the newsletters generated every month is available on your website. The important point in this social network integration with your website is to keep the channels open and regularly communicate to provide new information and news. Readers will be more likely to visit your site on a regular basis if they get weekly news from your site. This could be fastidious if you had to do it manually , but by creating automated tasks to post automatically
on a regular basis for example a new yacht listing or price reduction offer, you keep the flow going.
0 Common Mistakes Companies Make With Messaging

Every social media user has a very clear idea of what social media means to them, and how they want to be approached by companies on social media. Most companies dont realize that the way they approach social media sends its own message to consumers. Here are some of the most common mistakes companies make with messaging:
tional tone and respond to other participants in the conversation. Automated accounts or accounts that are updated with a stream of links do not produce results.
0 Controlling the message

Social media is not about controlling a message. In fact, the very nature of social media is such that no one person or organization can control the message. Because social media is a medium to share information through a network, companies must realize that once they put the message out there, they have no control anymore. Users can choose to edit the message, inject their own opinions into the message, share the message, or ignore the message. Furthermore, companies cant even control where the message starts: a user can also create a message about a company without having any affiliation to them. Because of the nature of social media, companies that try to control the message will have difficulty reaping any of the benefits of the medium.
0 Creating impersonal accounts

Users dont follow companies; they follow engaging people who work at companies. Unless the tool is meant specifically for companies to use (i.e.: Facebook fan pages), every account should be an actual person who has a name and a title that clearly signifies him or her as a face of the company. This person should write with a conversa-

There are so many ways to use social media to communicate draw the line with abusing permission? Unwith the customer, and as social media goes mainstream fortunately, this question is similar to asking where comedians draw the line with potencompanies are finding new ways every day. All of these tially offensive jokes. The truth is that different purposes for communication fall into three main users have different levels of tolerance. Just like a comedian might experiment with messaging functions: public relations and marketing, sales, and based on the feedback he or she is receiving customer services.
from the audience, your company must experiment with the right level of communication, erring on the side of unobtrusive.
0 Not controlling the message

While companies should be careful about trying to exercise too much control over the message, there is also the opposite end of the spectrum to avoid. Companies often cite control over message as a reason not to participate in social media, but the truth is that companies have lost control of the message whether they participate or not. This is because, as mentioned earlier, users can create a message and drive the conversation surrounding that message. So how can companies exercise some control over a message and still reap the benefits of social media (rapid diffusion of information through people sharing messages with their networks)? The answer is that companies need to participate in the conversation. Responding to complaints and stressing the benefits and what the company does well; these are all ways for companies to control the endconsumers perception of its services.
0 Strategy definition
The framework for developing a social media strategy consists of three potential functions: public relations and marketing, sales, and customer services. Social media can be used to further goals within just one of these three functions, two these functions, or a company could use social media to satisfy the needs of all three of these functions. These three functions feed each other in a cycle, and companies can create a fairly comprehensive social media strategy by taking each into consideration.
0 Find your audience

Very few social media tools will work for every company; however, if your company is just starting out with social media, you can find plenty of people by sticking to the biggest social media sites. Generally, the strategy for finding an audience is looking for groups of people with similar interests to keywords that make sense for your company.
0 Abusing permission
Abusing permission is a fast way for companies to lose credibility, damage relationships, and generally make a bad name for themselves in social media. So where do you

SOCIAL MEDIA
Social Media Marketing and Yachting

The most costly decision a marketing or sales manager will take when implementing a marketing strategy will be to rely entirely on third party websites to acquire new contacts and promote the yacht listings. This decision is mostly taken due to the apparent easy setup and maintenance third party listing sites seem to provide. However, when analyzing carefully the features provided, as well as the possibility to create inbound traffic to the companys website or expand the reach to social networks, it does not appear anymore as a cost effective solution in a long term strategyh. All third party listings sites rely on traffic to their sites in order to be able to charge yacht brokerage and yacht charter firms. Thus, they will most of the time prevent this traffic to leave their site unless it goes to a paid advertisement. The data flow of the listings between the companys website and the outside world must be carefully evaluated. The success in establishing a long term approach is to consider, as the central point, the
Establishing an efficient SOCIAL MEDIA marketing strategy becomes now a reality for yacht brokerage and yacht charter companies. When establishing the company marketing strategy, several key indicators must be closely watched. As well, deciding the direction of the data flow between the company and third party sites can become costly in terms of advertising budget without bringing long term traffic.

companys website. ie the single point of entry for all listings should be your website. Then, syndication to third party listings websites specializing in the yachting and to social network will take place. This data flow will allow you to generate inbound traffic back to your site and not to other sites. You will have the control over the data provided to the external sites. Contacts and leads coming to your site once will most likely come back to your site on a regular basis. A powerful outbound strategy for the listings is to target all available social network and document or images sharing sites. Through APIs, you can automate the posting of listings information and brochure to a large array of sites which are not used by third party listings websites to avoid loosing traffic.Nowadays, you can maximize your exposure on social networks relatively easily by selecting a yachting solution already integrating the APIs to post automatically.
reach potentials clients through all available social medias. In a long term strategy, all inbound traffic must go back to your site. This way, if you decide to stop listing on a particular third party listings website, most of the traffic will still flow to your site through the other channels. On the other hand, if you stricly list on third party sites, the day you stop paying them, you disappear from the internet world...
0 Social media is online

Social media is something that takes place online. It is a type of communication that takes place outside of in-person meetings, phone calls, or foot traffic. That means social media is location-independent, which makes it a valuable part of any companys business strategy.
0 Social media is user-generated

Content used to be something that very few people created. Reporters, TV anchors, movie directors, authors, radio DJs, and magazine editors created content, and everyone else consumed it. Now, everyone is a publisher, and the people who use the content are also the ones who create it.
0 Social networks integration

Furthermore, third party listings websites will not have any incentives to integrate your listings with social networks or other sites in order to keep the traffic on their site. You must put in place a well tought-out strategy which will syndicate listings to generic listings sites. (Olx, Oddle, Vast...), third party listings sites specializing in yachting through the openmarine.org initiative for example: It allows you to generate a standard xml feed and post it to several sites through a subscription. Then, post the listings to your facebook and twitter account.
0 Social media is highly accessible and scalable

Social media is highly accessible and scalable to the public, which means that social media has lots of users and offers plenty of opportunity for companies. Because social media is easy to access, the tools for social media are easy and intuitive enough for the common person to use. Even if you dont use social media now, theres no reason not to jump in!
0 XML feeds
We went further in the integration of our yachting solutions with a large array of APIs. Clients using our yachting solutions have their listings posted automatically to Flickr, Picasa, Wordpress, Blogger, Olx, Oddle, Vast, Openmarine.

Yacht charter marketing
Your website is the online face of your company, organization. It must reflect what you are, what you do, and how you do it; it is how current and potential customers view you and, in many cases, interface with you. A bad website will turn customers off to your brand or company, while an outstanding website will create new and more loyal customers. Its something you cant take for granted.

To increase luxury yachts occupation rate, a dedicated mini site coupled with an online brochure and linked to social networks accounts makes wonders in terms of clearly presenting the yacht features and amenities. Direct contact and reservation forms will enable the clients to get in touch with a dedicated account manager able to present and add his personal touch in terms of services.

TIPS THIS MONTH
n social media, generating prospects usually means driving traffic to a website where you can collect lead information.
01
One of the reason every company should have a blog is because it adds text to the company website that attracts search engine traffic. Also, your blog can build a subscriber list of people who read the content regularly. Companies use blogs to have conversations with potential clients or customers and build credibility within the industry. Facebook has a wide array of options for companies, including, groups, fan pages, applications, and Facebook Connect. Facebook fan pages are similar to groups, except they are usually named after the company. With fan pages, your company can import blog posts, videos, and fans are able to leave messages on the wall. One special feature of fan pages is that people who are fans can recommend the fan page to their entire friend list at once. This is unlike almost every other Facebook feature, which only lets a user invite 20 of his or her friends per day. At this point, your company has its lead list. Now, you can integrate this lead list with your current process and start reaping the benefits of using social media as part of your companys lead generation strategy.
Tips to find Prospects

0 Social bookmarking services

Sometimes called social news sites represent a subset of features found on a social network. A social bookmarking service lets users save and share their favorite web pages with
0 Social Sharing with Flickr and YouTube

One interesting aspect of the social Web is social sharing, the passing around of pictures, movies, music,
friends and colleagues online. Its all about finding something you like and then letting others know about it. Social bookmarking services are great ways to spread timely and interesting content. The most notable bookmarks on these sites quickly turn viral, as one user after another shares his or her links with other users. Because of this, you want to make it easy for users to bookmark content on your website and blog.
and such between friends and family. Social networking sites, such as Facebook and MySpace, offer media sharing features; in fact, Facebook is probably the number-one photo sharing site on the Web. But there are lots of sites dedicated solely to sharing specific types of media online. All of these sites work in a similar fashion. Users upload their media photos, movies, whatever to the site. The uploaded media are made available either publicly to everyone on the site or privately to selected lists of friends and family. Other users, invited or otherwise, then view the uploaded media as they wish.

ONLINE PR
Understanding
Online PR
Public relations has always been an interesting component of the marketing mix. Its not like advertising because you dont pay for placement. And its not like direct mail because you cant directly track results.
Like traditional PR, online PR is all about influencing people Its not about buying placement; its about generating word-of-mouth attention But who do you influence onlineand how? Thats where online PR differs from the traditional model. When were talking online PR, were talking about influencing a different group of people than you do with traditional PR. Old-school PR is about influence of traditional media newspapers, magazines, radio, and television. Now, you can still use online methods to influence the people in these traditional channels (which is discussed shortly), but there are a whole other group of people online to target. Online PR deals with another group of influencers. These are people whove become trend setters to their online followers; a mention or endorsement from one of these folks is as good as gold. Who are these online influencers? Its a diverse group, including the following: - Professional writers, columnists, and reviewers for various websites - Bloggers, both personal and professional - Twitterers with large and loyal followings - Facebookers with similarly large and loyal followings
- Amateur contributors to various review and sharing websites Of these influencers, only the first group writers, columnists, and reviewers are similar to your traditional media targets. After all, a paid reviewer for an online publication isnt that much different from a reviewer for a print magazine or newspaper. But the other influencers on this list are much, much different from the people youre used to dealing with. First of all, most of them arent paid professionals. Your goals with online PR should be similar to what youve always tried to achieve with traditional PR. In fact, many of the activities are the same you write press releases, establish relationships with key contacts, and follow through to see if your efforts bore fruit. That said, one of the key differences between online and traditional PR is the interactive conversations that develop online. Whereas traditional PR is pretty much a one-way effort (you put the press release out there and thats that), online PR is a two-way street. Thats because a significant portion of your online PR efforts are targeted at customers, encouraging them to contact your company directly.
