Gatorade

Pepsi, la celebre azienda produttrice di bevande e della omonima bibita, ha pensato di usare i social network per rilanciare il marchio Gatorade, che da più di tre anni perde terreno nei confronti del rivale Powerade (di proprietà della Coca Cola).

L’azienda ha dato vita ad un team interno (chiamato Mission Control) che si occuperà di monitorare i principali social network per capire la percezione degli utenti sul prodotto. In base a questo verranno poi elaborate strategie di marketing per riportare in alto le vendite.

Sono tantissime le aziende che, negli ultimi anni, si sono rivolte ai social network. Nella maggior parte dei casi con una pagina o un profilo aziendale utile per fare pubblicità a costo zero, ma non sono. Moltissime multinazionali hanno personale specializzato incaricato di monitorare e tenere sotto controllo Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, FriendFeed ed altri portali social estremamente popolari. Il motivo? Scoprire se gli utenti parlano bene o male di un prodotto, se hanno intenzione di acquistarlo o meno, capire se preferiscono prodotti analoghi della concorrenza. Esattamente come vuole fare Pepsi per rilanciare la sua storica bevanda sul mercato.

In tutto questo, ci sono purtroppo numerose aziende che pagano profumatamente persone e blogger per esprimere opinioni positive su un prodotto nei social network, nei blog o nei forum. I navigatori, tendenzialmente, tendono a fidarsi del pareri degli altri utenti, senza sospettare che in realtà l’opinione è stata manipolata ed è tutto tranne che reale.

Esistono anche società specializzate che si offrono (dietro lauto pagamento, logicamente) di ripulire l’immagine delle aziende, eliminando post e commenti negativi su un prodotto o su un marchio specifico.

Inutile dire che queste manovre sono assolutamente contrarie ai principi di libertà ed uguaglianza che vigono in rete. Siamo sicuri, comunque, che nei prossimi anni, i social network diventeranno un punto cruciale per il marketing online, più di quanto non lo siano già adesso.

  5. When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each
    time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Thanks a lot!

  8. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s
    both equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i’m very happy I came across this during my search for something
    concerning this.

  22. A motivating discussion is worth comment. I do believe
    that you should publish more about this topic, it might not be a taboo matter but
    typically people do not speak about these issues. To the next!
    Many thanks!!

    few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very troublesome to tell the reality on the other hand I will
    surely come back again.

  31. I do accept as true with all the ideas you have introduced in your post.
    They are really convincing and can certainly work.
    Nonetheless, the posts are very brief for novices.
    May just you please extend them a little from subsequent time?
    Thank you for the post.

  36. Hey! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a
    blog article or vice-versa? My site covers a lot of the same subjects as
    yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

    I look forward to hearing from you! Wonderful blog by the
    way!

  47. My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from
    PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites
    for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform.
    I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
    Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
