User generated content is the new Social CRM

Companies must do more to engage consumers and commit more of their online "space" to user-generated content and social media that enables direct communication with consumers. If companies don't provide these spaces, they will find it harder to track and engage consumers because they will simply go off and create their own elsewhere.

Distribution

Content is King, but Distribution is Ace

Commercial organizations will be racing to allow their output to exist in many new formats. The aim will be not to drive people to a home page but to scatter diverse pieces of content in multiple contexts and thread them back to the brand.

Search is the new Personalization tool

Site search is a critical but unfulfilling part of Web site user experiences. As complex as search may seem, users only need two things for a positive site search experience: relevant results and a useful interface.

Designing a user-centric site search experience

(autosuggest and auto complete)• Opportunities to include:– Cross selling content – Search refinement– Bringing results from family– Excite users with new ways to interact in the

search stream

DemonstrationSearch as a personalization tool

Page 23: Making Your Website Speak Louder Than Words

Checklist

• Content inventory list - the right mix of company vs. user generated.

• Digital footprint – Where in the digital landscape are your users ?

• Distribution strategy – How do we get the content out, fresh, maintained ?

• Search Merchandising capability – is it user centric ?

• Online pulse – Keep an eye on activity, loop back to Content Inventory if not seeing the results expected.
