  • Netnography: the Marketer's Secret Weapon
    Netnography: The Marketer’s Secret Weapon How Social Media Understanding Drives Innovation By Robert V. Kozinets, BBA, MBA. Ph.D. MARCH 201 0 Executive Summary Marketers in today’s competitive world need an edge. This paper offers two of them. First, it tells marketers to consider social media not just as a marketing tool, but as a way to continuously build high-level consumer insight. Second, it offers a rigorous method based in anthropology for building social media data into applied cultural insights. That method is called netnography. In netnography, online interactions are valued as a cultural reflection that yields deep human understanding. Like in person ethnography, netnography is naturalistic, immersive, descriptive, multi-method, adaptable, and focused on context. Used to inform consumer insight, netnography is less intrusive than ethnography or focus groups, and more naturalistic than surveys, quantitative models, and focus groups. Netnography fits well in the front-end stages of innovation, and in the discovery phases of marketing and brand management. Netnography follows six overlapping steps: 1. Research planning 2. Entrée 3. Data collection 4. Interpretation 5. Ensuring ethical standards 6. Research representation A short illustration of a computationally assisted netnographic approach to a brand study of Listerine is provided. It demonstrates how insights can be used to inform marketing activities including brand perceptions, brand positioning and repositioning, segmentation studies, new product development and innovation, trend identification, new service models for co-creation of value, social media usage and opportunities for marketing campaign activation. By leveraging the power of netnography, marketers can make better business decisions, giving companies a unique competitive advantage.

However, the program supported its partners to establish BoP marketing and distribution pilots, which offered a good opportunity to experiment with new products and strategies and resulted in interesting business opportunities. Editing What is marketing and distribution for the base of the pyramid? Base of the pyramid (BoP) marketing and distribution strategies provide business opportunities to firms, while also improving the food and nutrition security of an important population segment. BoP consumers are usually not perceived and targeted as potential consumers. Supported by Companies do not usually perceive of this market segment as an opportunity for generating profit due to their relatively low purchasing power.
