Product Design Case Study: • Customers play a key role in product design: • Vote for favorite designs • Purchase designs they care about • Designers get feedback on their designs • Customers can rate T-Shirts • Customers therefore feel a part of the company • By placing emphasis on customer input at the design phase of the business, Threadless.com is able to successfully leverage social media, to customize their designs to the unique tastes of each of their customers.
What are the possibilities? • Could mainstream fashion designers do this? • Can toy makers use this to allow kids to create their “Next Best Toy”? • Could auto-makers request submissions for car designs? • Could the hospitality industry use this to solicit clients’ input on amenities to have in their next hotel? • Could the government use this to solicit ideas for how to deal with certain issues – have people vote on ideas?

Reaching Customers Through Social Media Marketing Case Study:Pink Nation
Marketing Case Study: Pink Nation • Retail – Flintstone Era: • Focus on in-store interactions, focus groups & sales figures • Avenues for obtaining customer feedback - few and expensive • Victoria Secret’s PINK: • PINK Nation, has more interaction than main website • Vote to have Alma Mater on PINK • Use Facebook page to get feedback on styles etc • One of few to create a fully functional mobile site • “Is it better to get MANY people to watch your video, or FEW of the right people?” Social Media is creating the bridge – making it possible to reach MANY of the RIGHT people; inexpensively!
What are the possibilities? • Could taste-driven coupons be developed? • Could location-based advertising be done? For e.g. customer enters a store and automatically, receives a text message about store specials • Could consumer focus groups become obsolete? • Could the customers become designers – submit underwear design and let customers vote on the “Design of the Month”? • Could loyalty programs be revamped using tools from social media? For e.g. can I get a list of “Consumers who bought X also bought Y – in the store?”
