En este artículo, Marcelo Salup, Publicista y Mercadotécnico profesional, evalúa la efectividad de las redes sociales como medios, como soporte de publicidad, como marca y como plataforma social.
Ningún otro fenómeno ha cautivado tan rápido la atención de la gente como las redes sociales. Después de todo, ofrece la oportunidad de estar en contacto con amigos lejanos, ex novias, colegas… todo esto con un cierto grado de intimidad (puedes ver fotos de sus bebés, perros, fiestas, etc.) y es gratuito.
Ningún otro fenómeno ha cautivado de tal manera la atención de los anunciantes como las redes sociales. Después de todo, ofrece la oportunidad de alcanzar infinidad de consumidores de manera íntima y en un momento inesperado que hará, con algo de suerte, que el mensaje sea más efectivo. Y lo mejor de todo es que es casi gratuito.
Las redes sociales esgrimen tres promesas:
Primero, como “gente común”, me permitiría estar en contacto con la gente que quiero estar en contacto. Segundo, como publicista profesional, me ofrecería un soporte que me permitiría alcanzar a los consumidores de manera más impactante porque el mensaje estaría personalizado en función de las necesidades y gustos del cliente al que apunto. Tercero, como marca, me daría la oportunidad de interactuar con infinitos consumidores en un ambiente abierto y amigable.
Entonces…¿Qué pasa?
1. Las redes sociales como plataforma social
La semana pasada, solo en mi casa, me enteré que un ex colega planificador de medios en Nueva York tuvo un bebé (Massimo Joseph), que la hermana menor de uno de mis mejores amigos pasó por un doloroso divorcio y que Steve Sternberg dicta una conferencia Nielsen de tres días en Las Vegas.
Conclusión: Un sí definitivo. A las redes sociales como plataforma social.
2. Las redes sociales como soporte de publicidad
En dos encuestas diferentes de las que conduje, apenas el 15% de los encuestados afirmó hacer click sobre algún aviso publicitario en las redes sociales. [09:55:37 a.m.] Pablo Carrasco: La cantidad de respuestas obtenidas (menos de 100) es ya, de por sí, una signo sobre cómo funciona la interacción con el consumidor en esas redes. Anecdóticamente, la mayoría de mis amigos y conocidos también obtuvieron una tasa baja de interacción con publicidad directa en las redes sociales. Históricamente, la tasa promedio de clicks (CTR- “Click Through Rate” o porcentaje de personas que visitan una página y hacen click en un determinado botón o vínculo) se ha estado deslizando a la baja, a tal punto que probablemente en la actualidad el CTR es inferior a un 1%.
Como una “persona común”, a mi mismo me repele la publicidad que ofrecen algunas redes sociales. Aquí va una de las muchas joyas que he recolectado en los últimos 2-3 meses:
· “Nuevo y Poderoso Generador de Links: ¿Por qué todos las empresas de mercadotecnia de afiliación pierden dinero?
Además de docenas de anuncios analfabetos, también me han ofrecido: aperitivos, aceleradores para bajar programas de computación, “servicios para eliminar legalmente deudas de tarjeta de crédito en un 80% por 10.000 dólares”, una droga para reducir el colesterol, un remedio para la tranquilidad, una oferta para vender paneles solares, descuentos en medicamentos, un servicio de señoritas acompañantes, un aclarado de arterias, remedios para el dolor de espaldas y… aceite de víboras, no… hasta ahora.
Es un objetivo aleatorio en todo sentido. De hecho, cuando cree un anuncio en una red social para un producto fotográfico y decidí jugar un poco con el objetivo, me encontré con:
§ 254.220 personas:
– Que viven en EEUU
– Que viven en Florida, Nueva York, Nueva Jersey, Connecticut o California
– Entre 25 y 54 años inclusive
– Que les gusta la fotografía, Canon, Nikon o que son fotógrafos
– Que se graduaron de la universidad
Conclusión: Ni mucho, ni poco. Definitivamente los medios sociales como soporte publicitario sirven para algunos objetivos (un cuarto de millón de personas puede, después de todo, no solo ser un excelente grupo sino que puede influenciar a otro cuarto de millón). Pero ¿está el vaso medio lleno o medio vacío?
3. La gran prueba. La interacción de los medios sociales con las marca.
Esto es, después de todo, para lo que están las redes sociales, ¿verdad? Nuevamente: No hay un resultado claro.
Hablemos de tamaño:
§ Hay grandes grupos (páginas) en Facebook: Coca Cola tiene casi 6 millones de fans, Pepsi tiene 757.000 fans, Doritos 849.000, Nike 2.248.000, Ferrari 959.000 y Louis Vuitton 1.088.000 fans.
§ Sin embargo, muchos de los grupos son tan pequeños que no pueden impactar de manera alguna a la venta de sus productos. Por ejemplo, Colgate Wisp tiene 3.738 fans, American Airlines 61.656 y Comcast 6.349.
Hablemos del entorno en que están estos grupos en las redes sociales:
Muchos de los seguidores (“fans”) se unen a las páginas de las marcas o grupos para quejarse (¡y de manera muy llamativa!). Otros tienen poquísima interacción.
Entre otros comentarios, he visto:
UPS- a 8.731 personas les gustan estos comentarios?
§ Seguidor: John Terry: “Ahora usaré Fedex para todos mis envios. UPS esta apoyando a La Raza, una organización racista y a favor de las organizaciones en contra de los inmigrantes.”
§ Seguidora Patty Moraites Apkarian: “Pongo “me gusta” solo para poder postear. ¡Con Fedex es mucho más fácil!. Hoy me transfirieron 7 veces mientras trataba de averiguar por qué no podía realizar un pago on-line.”
Colgate Wisp- a 3.716 personas les gusta esto:
Colgate Wisp: En el mercado, en el cine, el auto. Dónde y cuándo usa Colgate Wisp? Cuéntenos!
§ Seguidora Tonia Tucker Kirven: “Todo el tiempo. Los amo.”
§ Gabriella D´Innocenzo: “Mientras manejo, después de comer, antes de ir a dormir.”
§ Melody Noemí Ramos: “Mientras viajo, especialmente en avión.”
§ Anneliese Thyer: “Nunca consideraría usar un producto desechable ni derrochar mi dinero en él.”
Samsung- a 47.238 les gusta esto:
§ Junaid Zaheer: “Quiero información sobre los precios de aires acondicionados Samsungs en Pakistan.”
· Benjiro Weiss: “Amo sus Home Theaters.”
· Jarrell Prichard: “No cumplieron con el acuerdo de Samsung de arreglar mi heladera…”
Además, muchos de los grupos muestran una completa inactividad. La gente se hace “fan”, pero nunca vuelven, negando la interacción que caracteriza a las redes sociales.
Conclusión: Muchos pequeños grupos de seguidores (“fans”) no pueden ser determinantes: “Pueden 3.000 personas afectar la venta de Wisp- y muchos seguidores se convierten para criticar a la compañía, con algunas excepciones.”
Siendo un extrovertido, usuario temprano y activo de redes sociales que resulta ser un comprador y planeador de medios, es inevitable que saque las siguientes conclusiones:
1. Las redes sociales (Facebook por ejemplo) están aquí para quedarse. Infinidad de personas no pueden estar equivocadas. Cada informe de investigación que leo resalta dos tendencias: un incremento de usuarios y un incremento en el uso de las redes sociales.
2. No creo que ningún anunciante haya encontrado la vuelta a los anuncios en las redes sociales. Parece haber dos categorías de fanáticos, los aburridos y los que se unen a los grupos para decirle a las compañías que apestan. Evidentemente, algunas compañías si lo están haciendo bien, como Nike o Coca Cola… pero si miran detalladamente un 25-30% de los comentarios son negativos.
3. Las personas son egoístas. Los grupos que atraen seguidores, que interactúan y se mantienen en contacto con el grupo, les ofrecen algo. No importa si es una vista exclusiva de un zapatos fosforescentes (Nike), la posibilidad de ganar 200.000 dólares para un proyecto (Pepsi) o ganar un vale de compras por compartir la “Historia del Dia del Padre” (Pampers).
De manera que, ¿Social? ¡Sí! ¿Medio? No aún.

In this article, advertising and marketing professional Marcelo Salup evaluates social media’s effectiveness as an advertising platform, as a social platform and as a brand.
No phenomena has caught fire so quickly among “regular folk” as social media. After all, here’s an opportunity to stay in touch with long lost friends, ex-girlfriends, people in your industry… all of it with a certain degree of intimacy (you get to see pictures of their babies, their dogs, their parties) and free to boot.
No phenomena has so caught advertisers attention as social media. After all, here’s an opportunity to touch zillions of consumers in an intimate, unguarded moment with what would hopefully be a more impactful message. And, best of all, all of it almost for free.
Social media had three promises going in:
First, as a “regular folk”, it would allow me to keep in touch with people that I wanted to be in touch with.
Second, as an advertising professional, it would give me a platform from which to reach out to consumers in a more impactful way because it would be customized to the needs and wants of my target consumer.
Third, as a brand, it would give me an opportunity to interact with zillions of consumers in an open, friendlier environment
So… what happened?
1. Social platform.
In the past week alone, I learned that my ex-planner in New York just had a baby (Massimo Joseph), that the kid sister of one of my best friends just went through a painful divorce and that Steve Sternberg is in a 3-day Nielsen conference in Las Vegas.
Bottom Line: Solid Yes
2. As an advertising platform.
In two different polls I conducted, barely 15% of all respondents reported clicking on any ad in a social network. The very size of the respondent base (less than 100 people) is, by itself a sign of the consumer interaction. Anecdotically, most of my friends and acquaintances also report low interaction with straight advertising in social sites. Historically, CTR’s (click through rates) have been sliding so that today we probably do not see even a 1% CTR across the board.
As a “regular guy”, I’m also apalled at the advertising I am served. Some of the jewels I’ve collected in the last 2-3 months:
- New Power Link Generator: “Why do 99% of all Affiliate Marketers loose (sic) money…?”
- Mafia Wars: “or you could wind up sleeping with the fishes (sic)”
- From “Wanta (sic) know the truth” – “if your (sic) sick and tired”…
In addition to dozens of illiterate ads, I’ve also been served with: fat-burning snacks, “computer accelerating” downloads, services to “legally remove 80% of my credit card debt over $10,000”, a cholesterol-blasting drug, a shocking new remedy for joint relief, an offer to sell solar panels, anonymous STD testing services, drug discount services, an overnight girlfriend service, an artery-clearing secret, quantum back pain relief and… no, no snake oil. So far.
This is random targeting at its best. Indeed, when I created an ad for a photo product and decided to play around a bit with the targeting, this is what I got:
- 254,220 people
- who live in the United States
- who live in Florida, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut or California
- between the ages of 25 and 54 inclusive
- who like photography, canon, nikon or photographer
- who graduated from college
Bottom line: mixed at best. Definitely some targetting (a quarter million people might, after all, not only be a great group, but also influence another couple of million) but not all that great.
3. The acid test: Brand Interaction.
This is, after all, what social media are all about. Right? Again: Mixed.
Let’s talk size:
- There are huge groups (pages) in Facebook: Coca Cola has 5.9 million fans, Pepsi Refreshes has 757,000 fans, Doritos has 849,000 fans, Nike has 2,248,000 fans, Ferrari has 959,000 and Louis Vuitton 1,088,000
- Many of the groups, however, are so small that they can’t conceivably move the needle: Colgate Wisp has 3,738 people, American Airlines has 61,656 and Comcast has 6,349
Let’s talk environment now.
Many “fans” join brand pages or groups just to complain (and loudly). Others have the most inane comments ever. Among some of the comments I saw today:
UPS – 8,371 people like this.
- Inger Elise Latterkrampå Ackles: UPS SUCKS major.
- John Terry: I will now being using FedEx for all of my deliveries. UPS is
giving $750,000 to La Raza, a racist, pro-illegal immigrant group - Patty Moraites Apkarian: I "liked" this just to post! Fedex is so much easier!
Todya I got transferred 7 times while trying to figure out as to why I couldn't do an online shipment.
Colgate Wisp – 3,716 people like this.
- Colgate Wisp: At the mall, at the movies, in the car after the drive-thru.
When and where do you use Colgate® Wisp®? Tell us! - Tonia Tucker Kirven: All the time. I love them
- Gabriella D'Innocenzo: While driving, after i eat, before bed
- Melody Noemí Ramos: while traveling, specially when i'm on airplanes.
- Anneliese Thyer: I would never consider using such a wasteful disposable item
SAMSUNG – 47,238 people like this.
- Junaid Zaheer: I want info about SAMSUNG Air Conditioners prices in Pakistan.
- Benjiro Weiss: I love the Home Theater Systems you guys make
- Jarrell Prichard: Paul's Certified Appliance – Fresno won't honor their agreement w/ Samsung to fix my fridge w/o gouging me for +$105 (beyond what Samsung pays and I'm not required to)
In addition, many of the groups show a complete lack of activity. People “fan” them, but never come back, negating the social interaction component.
Bottom line: tons of small groups that don’t move the needle –can 3,000 people really affect Wisp sales—and where many of the fans join to loudly critizice the company with some great exceptions thrown in. Not great.
Being an extroverted, early-adopter, highly-active social media user who happens to do strategic planning and buy media for a living, it was inevitable that I would draw some conclusions:
1. Social environments (e.g., Facebook) are here to stay. A zillion people can’t be wrong and every single piece of research I read points out towards two trends: increasing user base and more frequent use of social media
2. I don’t think any advertiser has really cracked the code yet. For every
dyed-in-the-wool fan there seems to be 2 inane boring ones and another one that just wants to tell the company “you suck”. Evidently, some companies are doing well: Coca Cola, Nike, Ferrari… but go deeper into the walls and you’ll see that easily 25%-30% of the comments are really negative.
3. People are selfish. Groups that attract fans, get them to interact positively and keep them coming back all give something, whether it is a preview of fluorescent shoes (Nike), the possibility of winning a $20,000 grant to follow your heart in a project (Pepsi), or winning a shopping spree for sharing their Father’s Day story (Pampers)
Social? Yep! Media? Not quite yet.

- Clarins
Skincare brand Clarins launched a campaign for a new product line with the unveiling of its corporate Facebook and Twitter sites. The new Multi-Active Day skincare was released earlier this month and is aimed at a younger demographic for the beauty brand – the under 40-year-old woman – so Clarins decided it was a good opportunity to introduce its first social media efforts.
The initiative is one element of a larger marketing campaign, including advertising and PR, for the Multi-active Day line, which starts at $54. The company would not disclose the PR budget, but Dempsey noted that for the first time, the company is extending a larger portion of its dollars to PR and social media.
This week, the team, including interactive agency Special Ops Media, will promote the launch of the social media platforms and skincare products through an announcement to bloggers, Web sites, and short-lead media outlets. In the future, the new Twitter and Facebook pages will be used to promote initiatives for other lines and highlight additional Clarins projects. In March, the company had announced its plans to expand its PR activity in an effort to reach a wider range of consumers, including a more youthful audience and a Hispanic consumer-base.

- Red Cross
The American Red Cross plans to target moms and small businesses with the launch of a cause marketing campaign with Clorox and FedEx to raise awareness about disaster preparedness. The campaign began last September first. The ongoing effort will use social media and traditional media to encourage the public to prepare for emergencies, said Mark Ferguson, officer of corporate partnerships for the Washington-based nonprofit.
The Red Cross is reaching out to trade media, business media, and the major daily newspapers in advance, and has plans for an SMT with national and regional outlets on September 11, led by campaign spokesperson Jamie Lee Curtis. It is also reaching out to mom bloggers, as well as bloggers who cover marketing and advertising and nonprofits, and Spanish-speaking bloggers who have a Hispanic audience, noted Jennifer Lubrani, a media coordinator for the Red Cross' communication and marketing department.
The goal is to reach mothers, with children who are 18 years old or younger, through partner companies like Clorox and FedEx using the Red Cross Web site or social media channels like YouTube, Flickr, and Facebook.
The campaign was coordinated in-house by the Red Cross, said Ferguson. It is not working with an agency.

- Arrowhead Advertising
Arrowhead Advertising, a company from Peoria (AZ), reported revenue of $1 million in 2005 and is projected to bring in $5.2 million in 2009. Peoria resident Kyle Eng founded the company in 2003 and remains its CEO.
Eng stated: “Our interactive division is the fastest growing area of our company. When we started, we did mostly traditional television, radio and print ads. That changed when we saw more consumers were getting their information through mobile networks. Online advertising is no longer about creating something for just the computer. Something that you see on a 19-inch screen might likely be invisible on a Blackberry or iPhone. We've been able to adapt.”
Arrowhead most important clients are in the automobile industry: Hyundai, Nissan, Chrysler, GP Ford.
