Steps to Success


to PEER-TO-PEER MARKETING

 

  1. Identify a community. The people who are best at identifying strong communities are those who are, or were once, part of it.
  2. Map the behaviour of the community. It is essential to understand what’s driving it.
  3. Identify alternative distribution channels.
  4. Identify the leaders of the community. However, before this can take place, it’s essential that you are thoroughly familiar with the rules of the community you’re targeting.
  5. Build a peer-to-peer marketing program around the leaders.
  6. Place tweens in the centre, rather than the brand.
  7. Support the community with unique initiatives. Make people to whom the audience can relate the spokesperson for the brand.
  8. Develop vital marketing tools enabling the tweens to market for you.
  9. Let the outside world know about the community’s success.
  10. Spread the brand to audiences outside the community. Successful peer-to-peer marketing is all about building on a passion, appealing to a shared dream, talking the language of the audience and making the audience do the work.
