Lessons From Terimee Online Campaign



Though the info we have here may not be the full picture and most likely only a tip of the iceberg, there are still some lessons we can learn from it:

1. Work with the best people to get the best results! Remember the lesson: Pay Peanut, Get Monkey.

2. The golden rules:

apply here as well for online community, simply illustrate:
Facebook not equal activities, activities not equal money.
In other words, having a Facebook page or an online community doesn't mean you will have engage them with activities, and having a large pools of fans doesn't mean you are able to monetize on it. Just as what we have covered in 虚拟大国诞生,第三波淘金潮在 Facebook : 一个 Facebook 粉丝值多少钱? 答案是:最高可达 136美元,关键是:你会变现吗?

3. A branding effect & promotional effectiveness report that conventional A&P (Advertising & Promotion) not able to provide will be complemented by your online presence (such as the Facebook Insights Report Tools). This doesn't mean that radio, TV, printed media, billboards etc are not important, but setting a portion of marketing budget to new medium will definitely give your business a boost (over your competitors who are still sleeping).

Please note that the info used as case study are only those available to public (for instance, the no. of fans, no. of people talking about this), simply click LIKE on Terimee Facebook Fans Page to follow the progress in real time (for what you can see).

Once you get used to online marketing, the tools and resources available in this medium, you are sure to love the powerful leverage it could bring!

In summary, a correct mixed portion of conventional and new medium marketing channel will give your branding and marketing effort a boost. Seek a good professional consultation for a custom made business solution, as every business case is unique, just as conventional advertisements you see on TV.
