Traditional advertising combined with social media content and other response vehicles (e.g. on pack) will generate interactions which can be managed through a combination of social media and communications through more traditional CRM channels. Early pioneers have called this combination of Social Media and CRM, Social CRM or SCRM. Social CRM is a way of engaging customers as a part of the overall marketing mix.

Much has been written about social media and its rising importance in engaging customers. A
consumer‟s engagement with a brand can be measured along a continuum – from no awareness,
through to early engagement and maybe, if you‟re lucky (and clever), onto advocacy.
We know that consumers are much more trusting of friends and colleagues than they are of TV
advertising or corporate communications. We also know consumers talk to each other like never
before through a multitude of social channels.
Social „media‟ contains „conversations‟. Like any conversation, in a cafe or bar for instance, the
content varies. Some conversations are serious and some fun, some are short and some long, some
happy and some angry and intense. Thoughts, opinions, ideas, jokes, confidences, experiences,
photos and videos are shared by individuals to small networks and can be rapidly amplified into
larger networks of people, within a location, nationally or globally.

As social media is all about customers, here’s our definition put in customer
terms. SCRM is how we…
■ Listen to what you and others have to say about our brands and service
■ Help you engage with us, whenever you need to, wherever you are, in ways that are
convenient to you – Toll Free? E-Mail? Web enquiry form? SMS? Phone us ? Sure !!!
■ Provide you with the personal experience you need to keep you engaged – informed,
interested and maybe even entertained!
■ Transact with each other, or through third parties, in ways that are mutually valuable
■ Get to know each other over time so that we can tailor what we do (and how we do it)
with you in mind.
Consumers‟ „experiences‟ are part of this conversation and brand and service experiences are
discussed openly and frankly whether organisations are involved in the conversation or not. As
consumers become more powerful, opinions can be amplified very quickly and brand performance
will be impacted.
Clearly monitoring the buzz and intervening, when appropriate, has advantages to brand
managers. This monitoring can lead to a better understanding of consumer behaviour and feelings –
the mood in the market. It can lead to changes in strategy, services, products, promotions, pricing
channels and so on.
If the brand engages the consumer, the consumer may do nothing, buy the product directly or
interact in some way. The interaction may be via a comment on Facebook which may not require a
response or it may lead to a 1:1 exchange with the organisation, through whatever channels are
right for the exchange. Traditional advertising combined with social media content and other
response vehicles (e.g. on pack) will generate interactions which can be managed through a
combination of SM (social media) and, for some consumers at some times, communications through
more traditional CRM channels. Early pioneers have called this combination of Social Media and
CRM, Social CRM or SCRM. Social CRM is a way of engaging customers as a part of the overall
marketing mix
