Company to Lead Discussion on Measuring the Impact of New Media on PR Campaigns
Traverse City, MI (PRWEB) February 4, 2008 -- Consumers want more. And according to the latest Oneupweb study, social media marketing is the perfect way to give them just that. The study, Social Media Marketing Hits & Misses: How 2007's Hot Holiday Brands & Products Performed Online (http://www.oneupweb.com/landing/08_hitmiss/index.php?source=Holiday_followup), is the second in a two-part series that explores the roles of social media in online marketing. This latest study includes best practices online marketers can use to implement social media marketing strategies for a successful 2008. It can be downloaded at OneUpWeb.com (http://www.oneupweb.com/landing/08_hitmiss/index.php?source=Holiday_followup).
"The 2007 shopping season fell short of expectations. However, we found that online marketers who took advantage of social media marketing profited," says Oneupweb CEO Lisa Wehr. "The season's hot products demonstrated a remarkable diversity of new creative thinking, and it paid off. This is exactly what online marketers need to do to be successful in a rocky 2008 economy."
The Oneupweb post-holiday study examines 12 online retailers and their evolving social media strategies and tactics. It presents a verbal snapshot that details who did what online, and how well it worked.
The products and brands that were the "Best of the Best" with social media marketing strategies include:
? Nintendo Wii
? Coach
? Pronto.com
? PLEO
? Sephora
Those products and brands that had a "Nice Showing" include:
? Webkinz
? iPod Touch
? Starbucks
? Target
? Casio Exilim Camcorder
Those products and brands that "Missed Out" on social media marketing include:
? A Thousand Splendid Suns (novel)
? Taryn Rose
Oneupweb looked at each of these brands and their major competitors to determine which were popular and sold well during the 2007 holiday season, how they used social media as a part of their marketing strategy and some of the best (and worst) uses of online social media during the holidays. Oneupweb also evaluated how online marketers could apply these strategies in 2008.
"The lessons learned from these brands will be instrumental to any online retailer looking to increase sales," notes Wehr. "Our study proves that social media marketing, when done right, works."
