Abstract: | 虽然企业对企业(B2B)公司一直在努力顺利过渡到数字手段,将营销策略转向更具创新性和成本效益的方法,但世界却受到了一场意想不到的全球危机的冲击,这场危机改变了业务和营销的运作方式。 Covid-19大流行向商业部门提出了挑战,要求他们改变所有的营销努力,使其"在线优先",因为全球范围内的限制和预防措施都适用于控制病毒。 除了数字化运营的直接问题外,在大流行时代,传统B2B营销策略的不切实际性和有效性下降进一步突出,营销人员面临着利用可操作社交媒体的营销策略来继续开展业务的挑战。 根据Burby、Atchison和Sterne(2007年)的社会反馈周期,分析和展示用户生成内容(UGC)内容和在线反馈如何在Covid-19大流行期间为企业改进和生成电子口碑(eWOM),这项研究通过对facebook和instagram帖子的上下文分析以及对咖啡技术B2B公司Hiroia的销售团队进行半结构化访谈,审查和评估了实施的社交媒体策略。 这项研究的重点是像Hiroia这样的B2B公司如何通过研究人员提出和实施的社交媒体运动和策略,将社交媒体作为一种商业工具来解决品牌的三个关键问题:内容,一致性和可见性。 通过从2022年1月到2022年7月的社交媒体活动,研究人员回顾了Hiroia获得的结果和见解,发现通过最大化平台功能,发布有目的的内容,并在商业关键时期拥抱"合作竞争"而不是竞争,eWOM已被证明是有益的,有效的和实用的公司在新常态中茁壮成长。 While Business to Business (B2B) companies have been trying to transition smoothly into digital means to shift their marketing strategies towards more innovative and cost-efficient approach, the world was hit by an unexpected global crisis that shifted the way business and marketing will be operationalized. The Covid-19 pandemic challenged the business sector to change all their marketing efforts to be "online-first" due to the worldwide restrictions and preventive measures applied to contain the virus. Aside from the immediate problem of digitizing operations, the impracticality and decreasing effectiveness of traditional B2B marketing strategies was further highlighted during the pandemic era and marketers was challenged to utilize a marketing strategy that operationalizes social media in order to continue doing business. Following the Social Feedback Cycle by Burby, Atchison, and Sterne (2007) to breakdown and demonstrate how User Generated Content (UGC) content and online feedback improved and generated electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM) for a business during the Covid-19 pandemic, this research reviewed and evaluated implemented social media strategies through a single case study approach using contextual analysis of Facebook and Instagram posts and semi-structured interviews with the sales team of a coffee technology B2B company, Hiroia. This research focused on how a B2B company like Hiroia, through the social media campaign and strategies proposed and implemented by the researcher, has operationalized social media as a business tool to solve three key problems of the brand: content, consistency, and visibility. Through the social media campaign that ran from January 2022 to July 2022, the researcher reviewed the results and insights gained by Hiroia and found that by maximizing platform features, posting purposeful content, and embracing "coopetition" than competition during this pivotal time in business, eWOM has proved to be beneficial, effective, and practical for the company to thrive in the new normal. |
