Wat kan een bedrijf op/met Hyves?

2010-04-15T16:03:00.004+02:00

De mogelijkheden voor bedrijven op Hyves lijken eindeloos. Er zijn zoveel verschillende soorten profielen actief op Hyves (Merk, Bedrijf, Spot, Hyve, Bedrijfsprofiel, Branded Hyve, Vereniging, School etc.) dat het tijd is voor een overzicht: Wat kan een bedrijf op/met Hyves?

Wat kan een bedrijf op/met Hyves?

Voor veel functionaliteiten is het noodzakelijk ingelogd te zijn onder een privé account op Hyves. Deze is aan te maken via https://secure.hyves.org/subscribe/.

Bedrijven kunnen een account op Hyves aanmaken, dit kan op verschillende manieren:

Een corporate account aanmaken
Dit account is enkel bedoeld om te adverteren op Hyves (en geen openbaar profiel), interactie met gebruikers is niet mogelijk. https://secure.hyves.org/subscribe/corporate/
Een merk toevoegen (Merk)
Bedrijven kunnen een merk toevoegen aan Hyves, waardoor gebruikers kunnen aangeven dat ze geïnteresseerd zijn in het merk (verder geen interactie mogelijk). Wanneer het merk niet te vinden is onder http://www.hyves.nl/brand/, mail dan de bedrijfsnaam met de bijbehorende website naar Melanie@hyves.nl.
Bedrijf op Hyves (Bedrijf)
Bedrijfpagina’s zijn bedoeld voor de eigenaar en personeel van het bedrijf. Het gaat hier dus om een besloten groep leden. http://www.hyves.nl/almanak/nieuw/?hubType=38
Spot toevoegen (Spot)
Spots zijn bedoeld voor publieke locaties als café’s, clubs, podia, restaurants en winkels. Bedrijven, straten, personen of events vallen hier niet onder. http://www.hyves.nl/spot/nieuw
Publiek netwerk toevoegen (Hyve)
Voor een publiek netwerk op Hyves waar iedereen lid van kan worden, kun je een “Hyve” profiel aanmaken. http://www.hyves.nl/hyves/nieuw/. Deze profielen kunnen ook door iedereen aangemaakt worden (in tegenstelling tot de bedrijfsprofielen), dus ook door fans van een merk/bedrijf.
Bedrijfsprofielen toevoegen (Bedrijfsprofiel)
Een Hyve pagina over en vóór het bedrijf. In tegenstelling tot een “normale” Hyve, krijg je bij een Bedrijfsprofiel meer mogelijkheden tot het toevoegen van elementen. Zo is er bijvoorbeeld de mogelijkheid om Vacatures en je Twitter berichten op het bedrijfsprofiel te tonen. Aan het hebben van dit profiel zijn wel extra kosten verbonden. http://adverterenophyves.hyves.nl/adverteren/branded-netwerken
Publiek bedrijfsprofiel (Branded Hyve)
Door het gebruik van een Branded Hyve kun je het bedrijfsprofiel inzetten als een commerciële community. Hyvers kunnen lid worden van de community en er kan meer interactie plaats vinden. Bovendien heeft een Branded Hyve meer mogelijkheden tot het aanpassen van de opmaak en zijn er extra statistische gegevens beschikbaar. Het plaatsen van dynamische headers en het gebruik van I-Frames is ook mogelijk. Ook aan het hebben van een Branded Hyve zijn extra kosten verbonden. http://adverterenophyves.hyves.nl/adverteren/branded-netwerken
Een evenement toevoegen (Event) Mocht een bedrijf een evenement organiseren, kan dit evenement ook toegevoegd worden op Hyves. http://www.hyves.nl/events/nieuw/

Het aanmelden van een Vereniging op Hyves kan op : http://www.hyves.nl/almanak/nieuw/?hubType=39

Het aanmelden van een School op Hyves kan op : http://www.hyves.nl/almanak/nieuw/?hubType=40

Reclame doeleinden

Advertentie mogelijkheden
Bedrijven kunnen op Hyves adverteren door middel van het inzetten van Banners en/of tekstlinks. Er kan hierbij ook gekozen worden om deze advertenties enkel bij gedefinieerde doelgroepen (Targets) te tonen. http://adverterenophyves.hyves.nl/adverteren/media-inzet/banners
E-mail marketing
Hyves biedt bedrijven ook de mogelijkheid om mails te versturen naar gedefinieerde doelgroepen (Targets). http://adverterenophyves.hyves.nl/adverteren/media-inzet/e-mail-marketing
Campagne pagina’s
Voor campagne doeleinden is er ook nog de optie om speciale Actiepagina’s op te richten voor campagnes, Branded Pimps aan te bieden zodat Hyvers de stijl van het bedrijf kunnen overnemen en Gadgets te ontwikkelen.
Om deze campagnes te ondersteunen, kan een bedrijf gebruik maken van de Tell-a-friend functie. http://adverterenophyves.hyves.nl/adverteren/campagne-concepten

Verschillende targets
Wat betreft de posities bannering en email marketing (gericht bereik) kan er gebruik gemaakt worden van verschillende targets:

Leeftijd
Geslacht
Plaats
Tijd
Relatiestatus
Opleiding
Interesses
Merken
Fans

Bedrijfsnaam niet beschikbaar

Helaas kan Hyves geen domeinnamen vrijgeven die al door een ander zijn geclaimed. Hyvers hebben namelijk het recht om elke naam te kiezen welke zij zelf graag willen. Mocht het bedrijf toch graag over de naam willen beschikken kan het beste contact opgenomen worden met de Hyver die op dat moment de Hyve beheerd. Er kan vriendelijk verzocht worden om de naam over te dragen. Als een Hyver geen gehoor geeft aan het verzoek, kan Hyves helaas niets voor het bedrijf betekenen. (Bron: http://www.hyves.nl/help/)

Koppelen van accounts

Een Hyvesaccount kan gekoppeld worden Blogs, Twitter en Facebook via Mijn Menu > Mijn account > Koppel Content. Hier is het ook mogelijk om RSS feeds van de Hyvesactiviteiten te genereren.

Wat is de ROI van social media?

2010-03-30T12:42:00.000+02:00

Veel bedrijven willen weten wat ze kunnen verwachten van de ROI van social media voordat ze het in gaan zetten als marketingmiddel.

ROI staat voor de Engelse term “Return On Investment” en geeft de verhouding tussen het rendement en de investering aan. ROI is te berekenen door de formule “ROI = inkomsten: investering”. Wanneer hier een positief getal uit komt heeft de investering winst op geleverd.
Deze formule is eenvoudig te berekenen wanneer de inkomsten en de investering vastgestelde bedragen zijn. Echter is het moeilijk om hier bedragen aan te koppelen.

Investering
Vaak word gezegd dat social media gratis is. Echter is het hebben van een profiel op een netwerksite niet voldoende om optimaal social media in te zetten. Een bedrijf zal tijd en energie moeten steken in het managen van social media. Nu is tijd vrij eenvoudig om te rekenen naar een bedrag, maar wanneer we kijken naar de inkomsten die uit social media te halen zijn, is dit een stuk moeilijker.

Inkomsten
Om erachter te komen wat de inkomsten van social media zijn, is het verstandig om vooraf te bepalen wat de gewenste resultaten zijn. Met andere woorden: wat is het doel dat een bedrijf wil bereiken door social media in te zetten. Wanneer er aan dit doel een waarde/ bedrag wordt gekoppeld, zal duidelijk worden wat de inkomsten van de social media strategie zijn.

Hierbij is het uiteraard van belang dat de waarde van dit doel berekend wordt voor en na de inzet van social media.

Doelen
Social media staat voor sociale interactie, hieruit kan geconcludeerd worden dat een sterke en goede relatie met de doelgroep een van de belangrijkste doelen is van een social media strategie. De waarde van deze relatie is moeilijk te meten, echter kan er wel gekeken worden naar meetbare acties die de doelgroep onderneemt. Of naar de hogere positie waar het bedrijf terecht komt. Zo kunnen onder andere de volgende doelen gemeten worden:

Meer verkeer (het aantal bezoekers op de site)
Prospects winnen (nieuwe klanten inzamelen)
Meer betrokkenheid (participatie van de doelgroep in je community)
Meer Call to action (het aantal Tweets/Retweets/Blogs over het bedrijf van de doelgroep)
Meer lidmaatschappen/ inschrijvingen (lange termijn connecties)
Onderzoek (relatief goedkoop onderzoek)
Meer/betere communicatie met de doelgroep (bepaald het gevoel wat de doelgroep bij het bedrijf krijgt)
Verbeteren van perceptie (de doelgroep krijgt een beter beeld van het bedrijf)
Verbeteren van de relatie (trouwe klanten)
Marktleider worden (doelgroep ziet dat je kennis hebt)

Het is dus van belang dat ieder bedrijf bepaald wat de doelen zijn van het inzetten van social media. Voor ieder bedrijf is dit verschillend en soms zullen er doelen gesteld worden die niet te vertalen zijn naar bedragen. In dit geval is de uitspraak van Erik Qualman (de auteur van het boek Socialnomics) een goede filosofie:

“Why are we trying to measure social media like a traditional channel anyway? Social media touches every facet of business and is more an extension of good business ethics.”

Hiermee geeft hij aan dat social media onderdeel moet worden van je gehele communicatie strategie naar je doelgroep toe. Verder vergelijkt Erik Qualman de ROI van social media graag met ROI van een mobiele telefoon: Je hoeft niet te weten wat de ROI van je mobiele telefoon is, je weet gewoon dat het noodzakelijk is om te gebruiken.

Social Media - Return On Investment (ROI)

2010-03-09T14:14:00.001+01:00

When you talk about implementing Social Media into your Marketing and Communication Strategy. Company's always think: What do I get back when I invest in Social Media/ What is the ROI of Social Media?

First things first: Social Media is (almost) free of charge. You will need a web-care team who is in charge of "knowing" what's been said about the company and (if necessary) will respond to these discussions. But look at ROI on Social Media this way:

Based on your objectives, what are you measuring?

Leads/sales – Landing pages/clicks to conversion
Relationships – Continue the relationship/loyal customer
Membership/registration – Long term commitment to learning
Conversations – Sentiment/research/trending topics
Perception – Image/reputation/survey responses
Calls to action – Tweet/retweet/blog/share information
Engagement – Participate in an event community
Education – Discuss level of learning/survey responses
Authority/thought leadership – Follow/comment/links
Traffic – Drive traffic to website to further engage

Source: Deirdre Breakenridge: The Value of Social Engagement for the 21st Century Business

Where the “I” in ROI represents investment:

Return on Engagement:
The duration of time spent either in conversation or interacting, and in turn, what transpired that’s worthy of measurement.

Return on Participation:
The metric tied to measuring and valuing the time spent participating in social media through conversations or the creation of social objects.

Return on Involvement:
Similar to participation, marketers explored touch points for documenting states of interaction and tied metrics and potential return of each.

Return on Attention:
In the attention economy, we assess the means to seize attention, hold it, and measure the response.

Return on Trust:
A variant on measuring customer loyalty and the likelihood for referrals, a trust barometer establishes the state of trust earned in social media engagement and the prospect of generating advocacy and how it impacts future business.

New Marketing Landscape: Ikea on Facebook

2009-11-24T15:13:00.003+01:00

So Ikea had this great idea of promoting a new shop in Malmö. They used a technology on Facebook which all the users were already familiar to. They gave away free stuff and the community on Facebook spread the word.

Typically a Social Media Marketing Campaign. I love it!

Looking back at Community Building

2009-11-23T19:46:00.011+01:00

So this webblog started as an assignment for the Community Building module I study at my school. In this blogpost I will look back at this course... I'll have a look at the assignment and of course: myself.

Click on "Tell me more" to find out more...
Note: This may be boring information for some of you :)

So for this school assignment, we had to choose a virtual community. We had to participate in this community to know more and more about this community.
My choice was:

Del.icio.us.
I chose this virtual community because I looked at it earlier and wanted to start really using it, but never really started it. So this assignment would be a good push in the direction of really starting.

So I took a look in what Delicious really was and what the possibilities were. This was all explained very easy in the YouTube video I posted before. This video explains you should make a whole bunch of bookmarks, tag them and share them.

This all is such a nice idea and could really work. I even feel Delicious could make some profit by selling "premium" user accounts where users have even more possibilities.

So what went wrong?
Because of the lack of free time I didn't browse around so much, at least, not just for fun. This means I didn't visit much new sites. Because I didn't visit much sites, I didn't bookmark allot of sites, because I... Aaaah, you get my point.
I did spent more time free-browsing on my mobile phone, than I did on my laptop. Maybe it would help if Delicious was easier available on my mobile browser. Copy pasting from my browser to m.delicious.com isn't a option because I simply can't copy-paste a URL in my mobile browser. Nor have multiple screens open. Which is a real bug when having a very long url. A integration like the Firefox add-on would really help.

So... Koen and communities?
Didn't just stop at Delicious. Remember I also signed up for Twitter? Well I also updated my "old" Linkedin page and made some connections on Linkedin. Something I was planning to do way earlier. But I also created a Facebook profile, a Vimeo profile and even became a Xbox Live Update beta tester (with the new integration of Twitter and Facebook on the Xbox console).
So instead of becoming a member of one virtual community. I became a member of several and updated my old memberships. These events are all reported on my blog.
These new communities made me think of updating my own website.

www.KoenCoppens.nl
So as I learned in this module: Virtual communities have potential and are in fact "the future". So why not update my old website to become more web 2.0 fixated? So I did. I created a new design for my website. It's not finished yet, but the basic idea is there. In the near future, the visitors will also be able to see content of these communities on my website (with the help of widgets).

What's next
I will keep this blog running! Maybe it will be a little more about cool and usefull sites, rather then pure community fixed sites. I would like to ask you all to keep track of this weblog by following me with Google Friend Connect!

See you later!

Review: ReTweets on Twitter.

2009-11-17T15:04:00.000+01:00

So the new feature for retweeting is almost live for everyone. I would like to share my opinion about this topic.

First of all I feel it's annoying you can't edit the message before retweeting. I know it's really just meant for people to "forward" the original message, but there is still no easy way of "respond" to tweets. If you want to respond to a tweet which is not the most recent tweet of this person. You can't just say you liked his tweet. Or you'd have to copy-paste his tweet (what will mean you have less characters to type).
I geuss a sollution to this would be a "retweet" for reactions (which will be visible below the original message). And a "forwardtweet" for forwarding messages just like the retweeting is done right now.

My second vision:
You will see unknown people (who you are not following) in your timeline, when a person (who you are following) retweeted his message. I feel this is a good way of expanding your follow-list. It's sort of a "recommendation" functionality: Someone who you are following thinks the tweet is interesting for you and tells you. Maybe you can follow this person too.

*click to enlarge*

Conclusion:
I feel the retweeting function is good, but is actually a forward-tweet function instead of a retweet function.

New look for ReTweets on Twitter.

2009-11-10T22:01:00.002+01:00

Twitter put me in this beta group once again.. So I'm going to give you guys an inside-look on how the "ReTweeting" will be going on in the near future.

Vimeo has got itself a new member

2009-10-20T14:13:00.014+02:00

Since I'm getting more and more interested in Communities on the web. I was looking for a new video-hosting community.
Why? Well, YouTube removed the audio file of one of my video's because I used a song where I didn't pay for (naughty me).
Since that video wasn't commercial or what so ever I made my decision to find a new host.
Vimeo gives me good-quality video and is known to contain more "serious" video then YouTube.

My first video on Vimeo is a school assignment I made 2 years age. It's Dutch, but I hope you'll get the point anyhow:

Jongeren in Limburg - Criminialiteit from Koen Coppens on Vimeo.

You can find me on Vimeo with my username "KoenCoppens"

Facebook has got itself a new member

2009-10-19T17:12:00.014+02:00

Ok, so since XBox is comming with their new update the autumn. And I'm getting more and more excited about communities. The next step I should take is creating a Facebook account.
So I did:

http://www.facebook.com/KoenCoppens.nl

If you also would like to create a Facebook account. Don't forget to go to http://www.facebook.com/username/ were you can register your own "short-url". Else you will have to direct your friends to a url which contains allot of numbers... and that just isn't handy.
But be quick, Facebook is gaining popularity very very fast. I couldn't claim these profiles because they were all taken:

KoenCoppens
KCoppens
Koen
Coppens
And many more I tried

So I picked "KoenCoppens.nl".

But be aware... once you picked a username for this url... you can't change it anymore.
Good luck!

Twitter and Facebook on XBox

2009-10-17T18:13:00.007+02:00

This autumn XBox will come with an update where you can use Twitter and Facebook on your XBox!

Today I signed myself up for beta-testing of this update. Let's hope I get selected and I can give you all a sneak-preview about this new Update of Xbox.
You can also sign up yourself for beta-testing new Xbox Updates by going to this link: https://connect.microsoft.com/XboxLIVEUpdate/

Working on a new lay-out for my website.

2009-10-09T17:23:00.014+02:00

So my website really really really (I mean really) needs to be updated. I haven't done this in years.
So, since I'm working with Communities right now and Communities are the future ( <-- Trust me on this one).
I was thinking of making some sort of "splash-page" were I link to my Community sites...

Right now my community sites are: YouTube, Blogger, Twitter, Delicious, LinkedIn and Hyves. Probably I won't link to Hyves on my website, just because I don't feel that Hyves is "professional" enough for me.

I will give you a sneak-preview in my Design concept:

Feel fry to comment on this preview below!

Headache? Drink some more coffee!

2009-09-22T16:37:00.000+02:00

Ok, so yesterday I signed myself up for blogger.com. You may wonder why I would do this? Well It's got something to do with my study. I follow a course that's called "Community Building". And our first assignment was to be part of a Community.
If I want to participate in this community, I should give my readers some interesting information... So, what can you expect? Well bassicly I will post everything that I think could be interesting for the readers of this blog!
