Setting the Stage … Making the Plan Concrete
Once we have determined what is important to your user base, we will start looking at how to take their needs and fulfill them through the use of the different web technologies available. When it comes to social interaction, we are often talking about forums, blogs, wikis, micro blog streams, and media gallery systems. Couto Solutions has partnered with Telligent to take advantage of their Telligent Community product which provides a foundation for these social media applications. By taking advantage of the Telligent Community platform and our own Building Blocks for Social Networks, we can uniquely customize these social media systems to target the specific needs of your user base. As a result, this unique blend of tailored social media software will help build a stronger connection between your users and your brand. The power of this connection will ultimately lead to more sales, productivity, or awareness depending on the focus of your strategy. Couto Solutions’ consulting team will help you plan and execute the delivery of a social media presence that accomplishes the goals of your organization. We can do this for internal collaborative communities, business based communities built around products and services, or for those fan based Social Networks that need to keep you in the spotlight.
Plugging in to the Social Social … Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and More
When it comes to having a Social Media presence, you can’t forget about the big social networks that are becoming regular parts of our everyday lives. These networks can drive massive amounts of traffic to your social offering and should be considered part of the strategy. When it comes to developing your own social presence, there are many levels of integration that can be preformed. For example, you could take advantage of the facebook connect option which allows people to login to your network using their facebook email address and password. This type of integration would greatly reduce the barrier of joining your network as it would take little effort to do so. In addition to this, there are many other integration options and ways to use these external networks to increase the value and grow your own presence. Couto Solutions’ consulting team is here to help you figure out what level of integration your site needs and how to take advantage of all the options available to you.
