Digital Communications in Construction Marketing ? Just Practising

May 18th, 2012

CIMCIG BannerThis afternoon I attended the CIMCIG (Chartered Institute of Marketing Construction Interest Group) seminar on Digital Communications in Construction Marketing. A well attended event, with many in the audience active online, a good mix of agency marketers and in house company marketers (and a few freelancers like myself).

Here is a record of the conversations I was able to share and pick up on during the afternoon. If slides are published online I hope to add them in too.

If you?re at #digcimcig we?d love to speak to you about our work for @kingspanpanels and #barrettsteelNetConstruct Ltd

The audience is gathering #digcimcig http://pic.twitter.com/F6WeR6yPSu Butcher

#digcimcig The afternoon is being introduced by @rosssturley ? introducing @NickPauley of @PauleyCreative to give an overviewSu Butcher

Nick Pauley of Pauley Creative gives a Digital Overview.

What elements are fundamental to Online Success? What methodology do you need? What is the Path to Digital Nirvana? @NickPauley #digcimcigSu Butcher

RT @SuButcher: To tell a 21st century story about solving 21st century problems, you need 21st Century tools ? @Nick_Pauley #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

You need a 21stC website ? does it work for human beings? @Nick_Pauley #digcimcig ? Meaningful Helpful Relevant Insightful contentSu Butcher

Nick is now explaining what Google Panda (and Penguin) means for your website. All very sensible in any event IMHO #digcimcigSu Butcher

Google Panda algorithm being discussed by @Nick_Pauley #digcimcig Good UX, fresh content, high quality codePaul Wilkinson

When the visitor types a search term into google, you need a good description to help the visitor choose your website #digcimcigSu Butcher

and now @Nick_Pauley brings us the pain. cookie audits. #digcimcigCIMCIG

EU Cookie Law, 26 May 2012 ? quite a few in the #digcimcig audience have done a cookie audit on their website, apparently?.Paul Wilkinson

Nick is talking about the nonsensical cookie law (I feel he is channeling @priteshpatel9 ) #digcimcigSu Butcher

#digcimcig @Nick_Pauley suggesting that some small steps towards cookie compliance law is best, nothing drastic neededKelly Whalley

Are you aware of the EU cookie law coming in to force on 26th may?? @cimcig #digcimcigDavid Ing

#digcimcig ? Here?s what happened to the visitor data when the ICO placed a cookie opt-in banner on their website: http://ow.ly/aWKBFPritesh Patel

A website fit for humans and a website fit for SEO ? can be combined, says @Nick_Pauley #digcimcig RACE: Reach, Act, Convert, EngagePaul Wilkinson

A digital framework is a RACE: Reach (awareness) Act (Persuasion) Convert (permission) Engage (Relationship). #digcimcig @Nick_PauleySu Butcher

#digcimcig Here is the RACE for strategy http://pic.twitter.com/0zaPcRKLSu Butcher

?Whilst we?re doing all this stuff, its visitor behaviour tracking and campaign management we should discuss with the board? #digcimcigSu Butcher

Here?s the #digcimcig Digital Communications for Construction Marketing story so far: #digcimcig http://ow.ly/aWKYOSu Butcher

@Nick_Pauley likes a mnemonic. We?re on our fourth already. AIEIM ? attract, inform, engage, inspire, measure. #digcimcigross sturley

The digital nivarna: Attract, inform, engage, inspire and measure #digcimcigBex Hartlebury

Segmentation of audience ? @Nick_Pauley advocating customer profiling (“personas”) so that we can tailor content for them #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

?Segment and profile your audience? Nick Pauley on digital comms #digcimcigKathryn Hegarty

How do architects use digital and non-digital channels? Where do they hang out? #digcimcigSu Butcher

#digcimcig ? Here?s our 3 part series in ?What type of Architect are you marketing to?? starting with part 1:http://ow.ly/aWLnn #personasPauley Creative

#digcimcig ? And here?s a post to prove that SEO?ing for long tail works: http://ow.ly/aWLE5Pauley Creative

The 90% of specifiers who go to your website already know your brand. The 80% who use google, don?t know your brand #digcimcig @Nick_PauleySu Butcher

To convert the unaware use long tail keywords in your SEO, low cost with high conversion #digcimcigBex Hartlebury

@SuButcher @Nick_Pauley Long tail illustrate by HotelDesigns hotel Reviews with every one receivng over 100 readers visits in the last monthPatrick Goff

@SuButcher @Nick_PauleyThe archive goes back to 2001. Some have received 80,000 reads since. A new Review gets over 5,000 in the 1st monthPatrick Goff

@SuButcher @Nick_Pauley Similarly daily news items since Christmas have all received vistis in the archives some again in the thousandsPatrick Goff

Shareability “a horrible word” but a lovely thing ? @Nick_Pauley #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

LOL Rockwool took #doesitblend and made it #doesitburn (but unfortunately none of them do!) #digcimcig ? plenty of hits thoughSu Butcher

Great to hear @McKayflooring ?s use of Pinterest http://ow.ly/aWMbf getting some credit #digcimcigSu Butcher

Once you have an audience ? what do they do? You need goals to measure, conversions mean outcomes #digcimcig ? put the data into CRM tooSu Butcher

Create goals you can measure, benchmark, KPI ? @Nick_Pauley tells #digcimcig. Look at the outcomes (shd stress *Business* outcomes)Paul Wilkinson

And measure the impact of your activities #digcimcig http://pic.twitter.com/6YlNofC9Su Butcher

RT @netsmith: ? ICO themselves quote that under 10% of their visitors actually click the ?allow? cookies option. #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

@Nick_Pauley ? overall message seems to be focussed on integrated strategic aproach to digital comms. #digcimcigross sturley

Speaker 2 is Lindsay Hopkins of SAIM on Cutting Edge Search Marketing

Lindsay Hopkins (SAIM) talking about search marketing #digcimcig “Google has replaced the phone-book” Be seen to be foundPaul Wilkinson

@LindsayJHopkins says 694,000 searches a second on google. #digcimcigCIMCIG

RT @cimcig: @lindsayjhopkins says 694,000 searches a second on google. #digcimcig << Better Google that.Pauley Creative

Lindsay is giving us a beginners guide to SEO #digcimcigSu Butcher

RT @BexHartlebury: To convert the unaware use long tail keywords in your SEO, low cost with high conversion #digcimcigSID

#digcimcig i have learned a new tla. lsi ? latent semantic indexing. better than keyword stuffig, says @lindsayjhopkinsross sturley

Off-page SEO (links back) now being discussed at #digcimcig ? harder to do that on-page.Paul Wilkinson

Another version of the ?Long Tail search? sweet spot ? good quality with volume #digcimcig http://pic.twitter.com/dIKDQUNDSu Butcher

#digcimcig even with all the techniques and technology for seo today, content is still king!Kelly Whalley

RT @kellykellymw: #digcimcig even with all the techniques and technology for seo today, content is still king! << BOOM!!Pauley Creative

4 tips for PPC: how much are you willing to pay, research, evaluate & have a call to action! #digcimcigBex Hartlebury

I have nevernadvised any of my clients (or anyone else) to use PPC advertising on Google. Good content doesn?t need it #digcimcigSu Butcher

@SuButcher Snap.Karen Wilde

@subutcher ? but competitive products sometimes do require PPC. #digcimcigPauley Creative

PPC vs natural search? 297% greater chance of being selected if 1st ranked than 6th. 80% more people click on natural listings #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

In my experience working with architects they know what PPC is and it is so abused they look for long tail natural search results #digcimcigSu Butcher

RT @wildelycreative: @SuButcher Agree for many industries too.Su Butcher

RT @PauleyCreative: @subutcher ? but competitive products sometimes do require PPC. #digcimcigMichael James

@PauleyCreative @subutcher You can?t undermine PPC with a singular statement. Measure conv + multi-channel conv to ensure “value”WOODH?USE

@michaeljamestbc @PauleyCreative give me a challenge and I?ll prove it can be done without PPC! #digcimcigSu Butcher

@SuButcher @pauleycreative Didt work for us, but i recognise it is needed by some There must be a reason it works so well for Google.Michael James

@bexhartlebury ? co?s in timber industry should remember that ?Shingles? is also disease as well as a timber cladding material #digcimcigPauley Creative

Next to present is Kirstie Colledge of SMPR talking about ?Making the most of your Digital Assets?

Now @KirstieColledge talking about social media marketing from a PR?s perspective #digcimcig. Google+ and Pinterest new kids on the blockPaul Wilkinson

?All your online content should be created, optimised, shared and published with search in mind.? ? @kirstiecolledge #digcimcigSu Butcher

People tend to buy from people in Construction ? clients want to get face-to-face @kirstiecolledge #digcimcigSu Butcher

Search: it?s not just about web pages ? think images, video content too ? @KirstieColledge #digcimcig blog posts can be powerfulPaul Wilkinson

?Optimise content on youtube- it?s just as important as optimising your website? ? Kirstie Colledge #digcimcigKathryn Hegarty

@kathrynhegarty ? good point, after all YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine. #digcimcigPauley Creative

Who do we want to reach? @KirstieColledge #digcimcig http://pic.twitter.com/XQ4qOCbrSu Butcher

Types of online content: Newsrelease, Press Releases, Media Profiles, Sector Profiles, Capability Documents, Articles, #digcimcigSu Butcher

Case Studies, Features, Videos, Webinars, White Papers and Brochures, Presentations, Infographics, Audio Bulletins, Images.

Most marcoms items can be re-purposed for use online (white papers, brochures, presentations, case studies) ? @KirstieColledge #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Kirstie is recommending a range of key services ? @Issuu, @Slideshare @Youtube @audioboo @Flickr @Visually #digcimcigSu Butcher

Love the fact that @kirstiecolledge suggests that marketing managers put their images on Flickr asap ? can access from anywhere #digcimcigSu Butcher

Would like to read @PauleyCreative blogs on how to reach Architects #digcimcigBex Hartlebury

Know your PR trade sectors, says @KirstieColledge, then work out what you want to reach them with #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Kirstie is explaining how to use different channels optimising your content for each and then sharing in relevant places #digcimcigSu Butcher

Issuu being advocated by @KirstieColledge for press releases, articles, case studies, whitepapers, e-books #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Issuu being advocated by @KirstieColledge for press releases, articles, case studies, whitepapers, e-books #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

@SuButcher @kirstiecolledge Flickr maybe the populist choice, try Picasa?s fabulous upload sync meta/geo tag prog and its much betterWOODH?USE

People like @kirstiecolledge have a wealth of knowledge of what has worked in online marketing for built environment clients #digcimcigSu Butcher

@bexhartlebury links are on the Storify page: http://ow.ly/aWRKk #digcimcigSu Butcher

Talking about @johnprescott at #digcimcig ? example of how traditional media now faces competition from self-published channelsPaul Wilkinson

From project award, through work in progress to completed project ? tell AEC project life stories @KirstieColledge #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Telling stories allows you to use work in progress ? this is what we?re doing with http://peterwellsarchitects.co.uk #digcimcigSu Butcher

Make it easy for people to share content online ? @KirstieColledge #digcimcig Showing @Camfil_Farr example; 11, 720 slideshare viewsPaul Wilkinson

Some channels only have about a week?s life (news pages) but others (like @Youtube ) are still creating interest years later #digcimcigSu Butcher

I don?t like blogs that just post Press Releases, impersonal and boring. #digcimcigMichael James

Redhills asbestos consultancy example now on-screen ? @KirstieColledge #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Consider reskinning your blog/website for your new marcoms ? this is very easy and low cost using tools like WordPress #digcimcigSu Butcher

@SuButcher read that as macaroons to start with! Wondered what new odd food/website trend we?d missed out on!SpillerAI

RT @SuButcher: Some channels work briefly (newsprint). others (eg @Youtube ) work for years #digcimcig // so make sure it?s still current!ross sturley

Kirstie now using Deconstruct UK as a case study http://www.deconstructuk.com/ ? website, blog, news items, case studies etc #digcimcigSu Butcher

Kirstie?s 8 steps to social media marketing:

1. Plan

2. Create valuable content

3. Optimise

4. Publish via relevant channels

5. Share?

6. Engage with your readers

7. Measure

8. Plan (always!)

Can publish stuff automatically once you?ve created content, but take care not to broadcast too much @KirstieColledge #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Agreed. There isn?t a “human” feel. RT @SuButcher: RT @michaeljamestbc:Don?t like blogs that just post Press Releases, impersonal & boringTherm-All Insulation

#digcimcig @KirstieColledge acknowledging and re-using @SuButcher stats on #linkedInPaul Wilkinson

Kirstie using my stats on Linkedin in UK Construction (Thanks @CarolHagen) ? average Linkedin member is 44 years old #digcimcigSu Butcher

@SuButcher Finally ? I?m above average (lol)Carol Hagen

300,000+ linkedin users are in the construction industry #digcimcigKathryn Hegarty

Average age of a #linkedin user is 44. Social media is not just for the young! @cimcig #digcimcig @kirstiecolledgeDavid Ing

Don?t be spammy on #linkedin, says @KirstieColledge British groups often better than US groups, she thinks #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

“If you go into Linkedin and try and sell to people you?ll just get turned off” @kirstiecolledge #digcimcigSu Butcher

#digcimcig Careful with Flickr ? meta tags written to ini linked file not hardcoded into Jpeg meaning harder local file search #geekalertWOODH?USE

@wearewoodhouse you need to use tags on Flickr, and Creative commons options too. @EEPaul knows a lot about Flickr #digcimcigSu Butcher

@SuButcher @wearewoodhouse Also recommend, if images appropriate, that material be published to Wikimedia Commons for open use #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

@BexHartlebury what charger do you need? We have HTC and iphone charges down front #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Great updates coming from @SuButcher @KirstieColledge #digcimcigShaw & Underwood

Next up is Danny Bluestone from Cyberduck talking about Apps and looking to the future

RT @cyberduck_uk: @danny_bluestone is presenting at CIMCIG seminar on digital communication in construction http://goo.gl/nKNsx #digcimcigSu Butcher

2% of GDP spent on mobile subscriptions ? more than on electricity or safe drinking water ? @danny_bluestone #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

RT @SuButcher: People globally are ?consuming mobile subscriptions more than electricity and drinking water? #digcimcigcopelandcasati

marketing ? @danny_bluestone at #digcimcig says global ? on mobile subscritpions exceeds that on electricity.ross sturley

@SuButcher They may be paying more ? but consuming more? I very much doubt those statisticsPatrick Goff

Jargon being used: HTML5 and CSS already mentioned without explanation, just for @rosssturley #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Lots of ideas about how I can improve the digital communications @Celotex #digcimcigBex Hartlebury

#apps ? all good news? 70% of app users pay little or nothing; app downloads fell in March 2012 #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

My mother in law has 40 apps on her phone but she doesn?t see any ? she just goes into Safari #apps #digcimcig @danny_bluestoneSu Butcher

Who has produce a Paid for App that they have sunk loads of money into? (don?t all rush at once ) #digcimcigSu Butcher

#digcimcig @danny_bluestone surely is it more important to make sure that your app does something useful rather than just ?having an app??Kelly Whalley

Danny pointing out how people are gaming the App stores by downloading multiple copies and creating reviews to get up rankings #digcimcigSu Butcher

#digcimcig did you know 70% of apps used cost little or nothing?Lindsay Hopkins

Types of #apps: native apps ? Apple based or Android using Java SDK (another acronym for Ross!); mobile (web) apps, HTML5; ? #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Danny says Linkedin are using HTML5 and some native code integrated into the HTML5 because they need to process a lot of code #digcimcigSu Butcher

Hybrid apps ? use HTML5 in combination with eg: Titanium ? to create an app for the iStore #digcimcig More brands on HTML5Paul Wilkinson

Ah the car analogy for hybrid apps ? an old style VW Beetle with a Porche engine #digcimcigSu Butcher

Danny says Linkedin are using HTML5 and some native code integrated into the HTML5 because they need to process a lot of code #digcimcigSu Butcher

Anyone heard of Conduit? #digcimcigSu Butcher

@SuButcher conduit ? http://bit.ly/JJlGI0 #digcimcigross sturley

Danny @danny_bluestone using Optima iPhone Glass calculator to take the hassle out of specifying glass thickness and toughness.#digcimcigSu Butcher

#digcimcig @danny_bluestone surely is it more important to make sure that your app does something useful rather than just ?having an app??Chris Witte

#digcimcig we believe that #apps are tools that should help simplify our daily taskssmartools

But isn?t it the case that an app should be useful? Otherwise what?s the point? #digcimcigSu Butcher

Useful native apps in AEC? (created by Cyber-Duck) Optima iPhone glass calculator OK, not iStore rejected for being marketing app #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Enterprise app store license offers alternative route for corporate apps, says @danny_bluestone #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

If you want a lot of buttons on the screen put them on the top not bottom -they can be pressed accidentally. Get into mindset #digcimcigSu Butcher

#digcimcig Where to submit your apps? The question is, who goes there? http://pic.twitter.com/l24dsCi7Su Butcher

alternative apps stores to iStore: Google Play Amazon app store (coming soon in UK), Appoke, Opera Software #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

looks like some interesting conversations going on at #digcimcig?.Mark Schumann

Jakob Nielsen now being lauded by @danny_bluestone . *Currently* native apps are better than mobile websites. #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Danny is saying that currently native apps are better than web apps at the moment (but surely not in the long term) #digcimcigSu Butcher

But mobile websites (web apps) will be better than native apps *very soon* says Nielsen @danny_bluestone #digcimcigPaul Wilkinson

Build in social distribution on your app ? as we have on #ArchitectMap #digcimcigSu Butcher

Think about interlinking different tools on your phone ? different apps like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter etc #digcimcigSu Butcher

NB but don?t set up automatic publishing to Linkedin please! #digcimcigSu Butcher

@MarkSchuey agreed I?m following the #digcimcig feed with interest and occasionally flicking to the news about Kenny leaving #LFCMatthew Lawrence

Blatent!

The future is apps that work online too. Of course then we get integration with google? #digcimcigSu Butcher

Design your app as a tool for your niche audience ? don?t feature creep. Yes ? focus on the useful feature #digcimcigSu Butcher

@SuButcher We can integrate google into apps already can?t we? I know I can add google analytics into the #architectmap app #digcimcigMark Schumann

@Chrisjwitte as @danny_bluestone has just said ? “it?s all about the idea” #digcimcigross sturley

Paul is giving examples of augmented reality, @woobius eye (get it on the app store), iPad apps, private project networks #digcimcigSu Butcher

#digcimcig @EEPaul admits that we have huge amounts of content and data, but it is all over the place,in different formats & hard to manageKelly Whalley

Most of our data isn?t linked ? we need a common data model- The Resource Description Framework RDF #digcimcigSu Butcher

#digcimcig what is the RDF? http://pic.twitter.com/4ruCHyg6Su Butcher

#digcimcig This is why structured data is so powerful (via @EEPaul ) http://pic.twitter.com/KAZKJ2qVSu Butcher

There are over 35 billion links on the web in the Linked data framework ? the future is data sharing? +Tim Berners Lee #digcimcigSu Butcher

Going Green – Real Estate Developers of Pune

May 16th, 2012

Real estate developers in Pune are witnessing a revolution and the good news is that the development juggernaut is showing no signs of a slowdown.
