Advertizing activities in social media and the creation of a community belonging in the digital era

Abstract

The promotion of brands, services and products using forms of digital advertizing is nowadays employed strategically by organizations in order to reach customers. This kind of advertizing uses digital media for the distribution of marketing and communication messages in attempt to promote interactivity and raise effectiveness. In that way, both servicing and engaging customers are the aim. This paper argues that social media may create a virtual community which spreads the ‘sense of belonging’ to such a community for potential customers in order to feel part of it even if they have never met. Social media have a significant role to play on the creation of the experience—brand experience on the Internet and the engagement of the consumers to this process with the provision of an ‘e-experience’ and their participation which can be of outmost importance. Managers in charge of social media management may be part of the consumer discussions in a manner that is consistent with the organization’s mission; the creation of blogs and networks that bring customers together may enforce the creation of e-communities which can be accomplished using specific symbols and a language that is familiar to this online group. The integration of social media into the marketing programme of an organization or a company as tools consists of an innovative procedure for the co-creation of experience with the consumer.
