傳統品牌 創新營銷(一)

與傳統媒體比較,網上營銷提供了一個互動的平台,使品牌與大眾聯繫。網上營銷活動的效益,往往不是大灑金錢換取,而是由創意主導。在主要網站舖天蓋地/密集式的橫額廣告(Banner Ad),無疑可在短時間內增加品牌知名度,但在計算投資回報(ROI)時,便會發現往往「入不敷支」。創新的意念、善用互聯網的特性,才是成功網上營銷的不二法門。


在2010年,一些傳統品牌就以嶄新的方式進行營銷活動,包括維他奶及嘉頓。他們在橫額廣告上花費不高,然而在營銷活動加入了網上元素,大大提升了與大眾/ 客戶的互動,及品牌的網上曝光率(Online Exposure)。

案例一:維他奶「Friend足70年」活動

活動日期:2010年3月至4月

活動內容:維他奶國際就慶祝公司70週年,特別設計了70款新包裝,讓大眾投票選出他們最喜愛的款式。活動內容共分三部份,包括:1) 「個個祝」維他奶大晒冷 – 大眾可揀選心水設計,以電郵方式/通過Facebook送給親友;2) 個個vote大抽奬 – 每週以不同主題投票,例如:「邊盒最爆?」,並於每週投票者中選出大抽奬得奬者;3) My Own Pack設計鬥 – 大眾可於活動網頁以自己設計的包裝參加比賽,並由公眾選出他們最喜愛的設計。



網上宣傳:

2) 活動網頁

3) Facebook專頁

活動短評:

善用社交媒體特性,帶動品牌網上曝光率
活動網頁與Facebook互動,公眾可於活動網頁登入Facebook,以Facebook帳戶資料進行投票,無須從新登記個人資料。同時在登入Facebook帳戶後,即與「維他奶『Friend足70年』」專頁連結,成為品牌日後與公眾的一個溝通平台。而在專頁發佈的訊息亦會在已連結用戶的動態消息(News Feed)出現,使訊息進一步滲入其朋友群。在是次活動期內,維他奶國際就連結了約20,000名Facebook用戶,若以每用戶50名朋友計算,維他奶在短短一個月內,已在Facebook建立了一個與1,000,000大眾的溝通平台。是次營銷活動結合了社交媒體,不但豐富了活動內容,為活動參與者帶來便利,同時亦為品牌日後在使用社交媒體作宣傳建立了良好的基礎。
