,LITERATURE 1: SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING STRATEGY: DEFINITION, CONCEPTUALIZATION,
TAXONOMY, VALIDATION, AND FUTURE AGENDA
Social Media Marketing Strategy: organization’s integrated pattern of activities that, based on a
careful assessment of customers’ motivations for brand-related social media use and the undertaking
of deliberate engagement initiatives, transform social media connectedness (networks) and
interactions (influences) into valuable strategic means to achieve desirable marketing outcomes.
Differences between traditional marketing strategy and SMMS:
Traditional approach pays attention to the heterogeneity (variousity) of motivations driving
customer engagement, while SMMS emphasizes that social media users must be motivated
on intellectual, social, cultural, or other grounds to engage with firms (and other customers)
The consequences of SMMS are decided by the firm and its customers (rather than by
individual actors’ behaviors), and it is only when the firm and its customers interact and build
relationships that social media technological platforms become real resource integrators
While customer value in traditional marketing strategies is defined to solely capture
purchase behavior through customer lifetime value, in SMMS, this value is expressed through
customer engagement, comprising both direct (customer purchases) and indirect (product
referrals to other customers) contributions.
Developing a SMMS:
- Drivers: the firm’s social media marketing objectives and the customers’ social media use
motivations
- Inputs: the firm’s social media engagement initiatives and the customers’ social media
behaviors
- Throughputs: the way the firm connects and interacts with customers to exchange resources
and satisfy needs
- Outputs: the resulting customer engagement outcome
SMMSs:
- Social commerce strategy: activities influenced by an individual’s social network in computer-
mediated social environments, whereby the activities correspond to the need recognition,
pre-purchase, purchase, and post-purchase stages of an exchange.
- Social content strategy: the creation and distribution of educational and compelling content
in multiple formats to attract and retain customers. Aims to create and deliver timely and
valuable content based on customer needs, rather than promoting products.
- Social monitoring strategy: a listening and response process through which marketers
themselves become engaged.
- Social CRM strategy: a philosophy and a business strategy supported by a technology
platform, business rules, processes, and social characteristics, designed to engage the
customer in a collaborative conversation in order to provide mutually beneficial value in a
trusted and transparent business environment.

,LITERATURE 2: SOCIAL MEDIA IN MARKETING RESEARCH: THEORETICAL BASES, METHODOLOGICAL
ASPECTS, AND THEMATIC FOCUS
Values:

- Social media as a general marketing and strategic tool
LITERATURE 3: USERS' MOTIVATIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN VIRAL COMMUNICATION ON SM
Content characteristics (meaningfulness, emotional tone, and arousal) are relevant to individuals'
attitudes toward viral communication; some campaigns can negatively influence their willingness to
share the content, particularly for less intensive social-network users.
Heavy users are more likely to share things because of social pressures. Overall, users are less likely
to create than share content, and what they share is influenced by content characteristics.
Sharing behaviors differ between users with distinctive social-media personas: some users are not
suited to begin the spread of messages and there is a need to adopt carefully designed customer-
segmentation strategies to engage with different consumers.
Results:
- When the three social-media-user types were compared regarding the elements that
influence their willingness to share viral content, the only significant differences was the
impact of meaningfulness on users' sharing behaviors and attitudes toward the viral content:
heavy users are more likely to share meaningfulness content
- The differences found between social-driven and search-driven users related to the impact of
meaningfulness on attitude and thus on their willingness to participate.
The study investigates the impact of meaningful content and emotional arousal on users' decisions to
share viral content on social media:
- Different user groups show different attitudes toward sharing content, highlighting the
importance of understanding user diversity.
- Findings suggest that not all users are equally likely to share content, and the nature of the
content significantly affects sharing behavior.
, LECTURE 2: MOTIVES OF SOCIAL MEDIA USERS & SOCIAL COMMUNITY
Dark side of social media: buy likes, comments, followers
Fake marketing:
- In 2022: ACM warned influencers who buy fake followers/likes that they will be fined
- Damages are estimated at 1.2 billion euro worldwide
- Companies pay more money to influencers with more followers
How do you recognize a fake account?
- Account names consisting of a random combination of letters, numbers and other characters
- An account with few followers, but a lot of likes and comments
- An account with few likes and comments, but a lot of followers
- The comments on a post don’t seem to relate to the post
- Check the accounts of the commenters and followers
Traditional marketing definition: the activity, sets of institutions, and processes for creating,
communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners,
and society at large.
Offerings: goods, services, ideas
These are achieved through the marketing mix (4P’s) the complete set of tools to achieve your goals
Social media marketing mix:
Consumer empowerment: the consumer has become responsible for attracting new customers
The consumer has more input in products and services. They are involved in all stages of the
marketing process (all the Ps)
Fifth p: participation (customer is everywhere, so surround the marketing mix)
Place: social media account
Traditional marketing:
- Push communication: the sender (company) sends the communication to the audience
(consumer). One-way communication (mass media)
- Limited opportunities for interaction between company and consumer
- The company controls the message being sent: top-down
Think about how easy it is now to return a product and get in contact with a company
