Web 2.0 Enabled Innovation Jennifer Mowat
What is Web 2.0 anyway? • Web 2.0 doesn’t just mean online shopping, email and entertainment. • Wikipedia has a view…. • Web 2.0 refers to a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services — such as social-networking sites, wikis and folksonomies — which aim to facilitate collaboration and sharing between users. It’s not really about new technology – its about how we use it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2 http://www.andybudd.com/presentations/dcontruct05/images/meme3.jpg
But what of the digital chasm SME’s & their customers? • 70% of searches for local businesses online are done through a search engine not a directory (Neilson/Netratings Feb 2006) • £30 billion of UK retail spending and £20 billion of other consumer spending (including services, auctions and classifieds) will happen online in 2007 (IMRG 2006) • £30 billion of offline spending is informed by information or marketing found online. (IMRG 2006) • 90% of IMRG survey respondents say they have researched goods online before buying them offline. (IMRG 2006) • What these numbers are saying is: If you are a business and don’t have or have poor online presence, you are missing customers and losing business. • You cannot connect with your audience if you don’t know how to reach them!!
And SMEs are still struggling with Web 1.0! SMEs are lagging online today ……… …..but will drive marketing innovation (and spend) tomorrow • Myspace, Google, Facebook, eBay all see SMEs as a new growth area for their business – and they are trying to make it easier Being on the web is important to businesses wanting more business • We spend more per head than US consumers but <20% of SMEs on the Web trade online. • Online advertising is >£2bn in the UK. Search dominates. But SMEs are a small fraction of this. 40% don’t have web sites – SEO and SEM just too hard and complex to manage. • Social media presents an opportunity for SMEs to leap frog larger business, using tools that are extremely well suited to them. • Marketing innovation over next 1-2 years will be driven by SMEs empowered with the right tools. • Even the big players are having to adapt to fit the market.
