...BabbaCo Case Questions 1. What are the pros and cons of each customer acquisition channel? What do you think about their customer acquisition model as a whole? Search Pros: * Search ads bring parents to BabbaCo.com, where they consume content, and join the newsletter or the Facebook fan-page to interact with the community. Over time if they are impressed with the offering, they will sign up to become a trial customer and then, later, convert to a paying customer. Cons: * Online marketing is not an area where Kim has great expertise. * Since BabbaBox is an entirely new product category, moms aren’t searching for it or for related terms. * When parents land on BabbaCo’s site, they are confused by the monthly box concept and quickly move on, leading to a high bounce rate. * BabbaCo has limited IT resources. * All web development is outsourced to a third party, slowing down the pace at which Nolan can run search experiments and iterate campaigns. Social Media Pros: * Customers acquired through social media have the lowest churn rate. * Whenever a BabbaCo Facebook fan “Likes” or comments on content on the fan-page, he or she broadcasts that action to his or her friends. * BabbaCo customers post side-by-side reviews of BabbaBox vs. the competitor’s box. This works in BabbaCo’s favor when its product receives positive reviews. Cons: * The long lag between the time that a user first arrives to the fan-page or “Likes” BabbaCo and the time...

...Are Social Networking Sites Beneficial to the Society or Not? Social networking sites are great for our society, due to its promotion increased interactions and connection between millions of people throughout the world. I personally am in favor of social networking sites because it allows people to create new relations and reconnect with their friends and family members. In addition, the reputation of social networking sites such as FaceBook, Twitter, and Linkedln, more than doubled from year 2005 to year 2009. These sites allowed all users to develop their online profiles of their background and interests as well as share thoughts, photos, links, music, and more (are social sites…for our society?). However, many argue that social networking sites attract people to spend more time online and less time with face-to-face interactions. Also, opponents say that the social networking sites provide many time wasting activities which replace the productive activities. According to the article, Are Social Networking Sites Good or Bad for Our Society? Teens spend an average of nine hours per week on social networking sites. The opposition states that teens growing up with these social networking sites may not be aware that all the information and photos posted on these networking sites can be regained even after deletion. The opponents also states that the consequences of over-sharing personal information and photos can lead to vulnerability to sexual and financial predators. It can...

...Michelle Mancuso Strayer University Online Business Policy – BUS 490 Robert M. Brown II May 29, 2011 Does An Employer Have The Right To Utilize Information Posted On Social Networks When Making Employment Decisions? Introduction Do employers have the right to use information posted on social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, and My Space for employment decisions? With the popularity of such websites, employers now have a no-cost way to look up a potential employee’s habits, etc. Employers are not only using them for potential employees, but also for their current staff. Some of what employers are looking at includes status postings, comments, and inappropriate or racy pictures. They are looking to get an idea of what this person does, how they conduct themselves, and whether or not this person is a good fit in their organization. There have been several lawsuits on this topic from employees that have been fired due to posts or pictures made to their facebook wall. This practice has not been deemed against the law, but there is much debate on how this information should or can be used. This paper will discus the pros and cons of using this type of information and also offer some suggestions on how to do it without being sued. Viewpoints Jonathon Bick, a Professor of Internet Law, feels an organization can utilize information found on social networking sites as long as they do so lawfully. He states, “to avoid legal difficulties, employers are...

...daily bases. Networking sites like YouTube has created a marketing environment as well as education. LinkedIn, has helped to create more jobs and recruiting, while Facebook has helped people stay in touch with each other. Emails and texting have replaced extra phone calls. Ideologies and Cultural Patterns Facebook, a tool for people to communicate, has over 1.4 billion users, YouTube has 490 million user per month and Twitter has 190 million tweets per day. These facts show just how much society is communicating through social networking sites. News spreads faster through these sites but can also give false information just as fast. There are problems that have become a social issue such as cyberbullying and security attacks. “49.5% of students reported being the victims of bullying online and 33.7% reported committing bullying behavior online. 800,000 minors were harassed or cyberbullied on Facebook according to a June 2012 Consumer Reports survey (PR, N., 2012)”. Adults are also victims of cyberbullying, and the problem with that is adults are supposed to be examples. If children see their parent’s bad behavior, then they are being shown its okay to bully one another. In 2012, Facebook’s chat window infected with a virus called Steckt.evl attacked users. The chat box would show up as you scroll down your Facebook page, looking like a link from a friend. When you click on the...

...Use of Social Media in Recruiting Think about the things you do when applying for a new job – anything from perfecting your cover letter and resume prior to applying to dressing nicely for the interview. You do everything you can to present the best version of yourself to the potential employer that you’ll be meeting with. But have you thought to prepare your social media accounts, too? With the rising usage of social media, “…it’s no surprise some recruiters and hiring managers are tuning in” (Smith) – but should it be used in the recruiting process? In Favor There are many pro’s to using social media when recruiting new talent – here I will discuss four points that you may not have considered before. First, social media allows the employer to see a more genuine version of the candidate, and that doesn’t always mean bringing light to negative attributes. A CareerBuilder survey found that 29% of surveyed hiring managers found something positive on a profile that drove them to offer the candidate a job (Smith). Websites like LinkedIn allow professionals to present their resume, showcase their interests and volunteer work, present more casual recommendations and endorsements that may not have a place in a resume, and show what professional organizations someone belongs to – all things that are important to understanding who a person is, but not things that will always come up in an interview. Second, social media gives employers the opportunity to target specific job...

...eMarketing Mid-Term 1. After reading the article I have changed my thinking on how I would reach out to the baby boomer generation. I used to think it was wrong to use social media to market towards baby boomers and generation x and I was wrong. I am pretty amazed on how many people from this generation are using sites like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, and Myspace. I will definitely keep social networking at the top of my list as a way to market towards these generations. More specifically I will primarily use Facebook as the main source of marketing because more than 1/3 of baby boomers and half of Generation X has a Facebook page. Mavens are most likely to be Generation Jones and working full/part time and these individuals could have huge impact on the target market. These are the type of people who are always expanding their social network and are recommending products and services more than 10 times a year. This could be a domino affect by mavens in your target market continuing to speak about your product through their social network. In a matter of time you could expand your business from being very well know just being using social networks like Facebook. Targeting towards Generations Jones and workers. 2. As an eMarketer choosing digital marketing vs. traditional marketing to means revolutionizing ways companies reach their consumers and target audience. Here in New York City we see that with basic billboards going digital displaying different images and content. Social...
