“The brand wanted to drive positive word of mouth and build brand RTBs.”
Community Marketing Strategy
1. Identifying the best communities for Community Marketing
Amazon took an insight-based Community Marketing solution to drive meaningful conversations around its plethora of services & shopping benefits by engaging with 3.3 Million+ members in the most relevant 109 communities around lifestyle and shopping.
Campaign Structure
2. Analysing consumer insights from real conversations
To drive the campaign, we analysed the existing conversations in the above communities and observed that:
- Amazon had the largest share of voice within online shopping portals.
- Majority of the conversations were around product links and discounts.
- There were no meaningful conversations about the reasons for choosing amazon.
We defined the goal of the campaign to focus on creating category conversations around the benefits of online shopping and then showcase the efficacy of Amazon with user-based reviews and testimonials.
3. Community Marketing campaign idea
We planned a single-phase campaign for the brand. The campaign focused on driving conversations around the benefits of online shopping and advocating Amazon as the go-to platform. The conversations were initiated by group admins sharing their personal experiences and inviting loyal Amazon users to share their experiences.
The experiences shared by admins and members were around different product categories & situations that led them to trust amazon as their preferred shopping destination. Through these off-platform “reviews”, the intent was to create a wave of testimonials that would highlight all the RTBs that amazon wanted to establish in its consumers’ minds.
The community admins shared their personal experiences with videos and photos and encouraged their group members to do the same. As members started participating with their own stories via User Generated Content (UGCs), they added to the excitement by weaving in content themes around the most relatable aspects.
While the content theme was consistent across all the communities, the unique experiences & testimonials of thousands of members brought their personalities and style to each of their posts.
