Now that the Cruisin’ Fusion website is up and running, you and your team have decided to run a contest on the blog asking customers to name the latest fusion recipe. In order to participate, the customer will need to enter their first and last name, phone number, and an email address, as well as the suggested fusion name. The winner of the contest will receive a $20 gift card.

Kiran supports this idea but has concerns she wants the team to consider before moving forward. She has asked that you prepare a 6- to 10-slide presentation with speaker notes for the next web meeting to address the following:

• Research and assess the ethical issues related to data customer collection and information management. How will customer information be protected?

• Research and examine the need to protect the intellectual property of the customers who submit name suggestions. What protection will Cruisin’ Fusion need in order to use the name suggested by the winner? What protection or disclaimer does the customer require?

• Include a 1/2-page disclaimer to add to the blog for customers outlining the contest rules, explaining how their personal information will be used and stored, and discussing the use of all intellectual property submitted as part of the contest.

Note: The title page and reference page do not count toward the assignment length requirement.

Chapter 7 –discussion question #1-4 & Application Case 7.8 on pg. 447 answer the two case questions on page 450 integrating concepts and examples from that case.

Application Case

If Tito’s Handmade Vodka had to identify a single social media metric that most accurately reflects its mission, it would be engagement. Connecting with vodka lovers in an inclusive, authentic way is something Tito’s takes very seriously, and the brand’s social strategy reflects that vision.

Founded nearly two decades ago, Tito’s credits the advent of social media with playing an integral role in engaging fans and raising brand awareness. In an interview with Entrepreneur, founder Bert “Tito” Beveridge credited social media for enabling Tito’s to compete for shelf space with more established liquor brands. “Social media is a great platform for a word-of-mouth brand, because it’s not just about who has the biggest megaphone,” Beveridge told Entrepreneur.

As Tito’s has matured, the social team has remained true to the brand’s founding values and actively uses Twitter and Instagram to have one-on-one conversations and connect with brand enthusiasts. “We never viewed social media as another way to advertise,” said Katy Gelhausen, Web & social media coordinator. “We’re on social so our customers can talk to us.”

Informing a Seasonal, Integrated Marketing Strategy

Tito’s quarterly cocktail program is a key part of the brand’s integrated marketing strategy. Each quarter, a cocktail recipe is developed and distributed through Tito’s online and offline marketing initiatives.

It is important for Tito’s to ensure that the recipe is aligned with the brand’s focus as well as the larger industry direction. Therefore, Gelhausen uses Sprout’s Brand Keywords to monitor industry trends and cocktail flavor profiles. “Sprout has been a really important tool for social monitoring. The Inbox is a nice way to keep on top of hashtags and see general trends in one stream,” she said.

The information learned is presented to Tito’s in-house mixology team and used to ensure that the same quarterly recipe is communicated to the brand’s sales team and across marketing channels. “Whether you’re drinking Tito’s at a bar, buying it from a liquor store or following us on social media you’re getting the same quarterly cocktail,” said Gelhausen.

The program ensures that, at every consumer touch point, a person receives a consistent brand experience—and that consistency is vital. In fact, according to an Infosys study on the omnichannel shopping experience, 34 percent of consumers attribute cross-channel consistency as a reason they spend more on a brand. Meanwhile, 39 percent cite inconsistency as reason enough to spend less.

At Tito’s, gathering industry insights starts with social monitoring on Twitter and Instagram through Sprout. But the brand’s social strategy does not stop there. Staying true to its roots, Tito’s uses the platform on a daily basis to authentically connect with customers.

Sprout’s Smart Inbox displays Tito’s Twitter and Instagram accounts in a single, cohesive feed. This helps Gelhausen manage inbound messages and quickly identify which require a response.

“Sprout allows us to stay on top of the conversations we’re having with our followers. I love how you can easily interact with content from multiple accounts in one place,” she said.

Spreading the Word on Twitter

Tito’s approach to Twitter is simple: engage in personal, one-on-one conversations with fans. Dialogue is a driving force for the brand, and over the course of four months, 88 percent of Tweets sent were replies to inbound messages.

Using Twitter as an open line of communication between Tito’s and its fans resulted in a 162.2 percent increase in engagement and a 43.5 percent gain in followers. Even more impressively, Tito’s ended the quarter with 538,306 organic impressions—an 81 percent rise. A similar strategy is applied to Instagram, which Tito’s uses to strengthen and foster a relationship with fans by publishing photos and videos of new recipe ideas, brand events, and initiatives.

Capturing the Party on Instagram

On Instagram, Tito’s primarily publishes lifestyle content and encourages followers to incorporate its brand in everyday occasions. Tito’s also uses the platform to promote its cause through marketing efforts and to tell its brand story. The team finds value in Sprout’s Instagram Profiles Report, which helps them identify what media is receiving the most engagement, analyze audience demographics and growth, dive more deeply into publishing patterns, and quantify outbound hashtag performance. “Given Instagram’s new personalized feed, it’s important that we pay attention to what really does resonate,” said Gelhausen.

Using the Instagram Profiles Report, Tito’s has been able to measure the impact of its Instagram marketing strategy and revise its approach accordingly. By utilizing the network as another way to engage with fans, the brand has steadily grown its organic audience. In four months, @TitosVodka saw a 12.6 percent rise in followers and a 37.1 percent increase in engagement. On average, each piece of published content gained 534 interactions, and mentions of the brand’s hashtag, #titoshandmadevodka, grew by 33 percent.

Where to from Here?

Social is an ongoing investment in time and attention. Tito’s will continue the momentum the brand experienced by segmenting each quarter into its own campaign. “We’re always getting smarter with our social strategies and making sure that what we’re posting is relevant and resonates,” said Gelhausen. Using social to connect with fans in a consistent, genuine, and memorable way will remain a cornerstone of the brand’s digital marketing efforts. Using Sprout’s suite of social media management tools, Tito’s will continue to foster a community of loyalists.

Unit 3 Discussion: Spyware and Adware

Spyware is software that is installed on someone’s   computer, without their consent, to intercept or control the user’s   interactions. Adware can be “spyware in disguise.” Adware is software that   only displays ads and the ads are often used in shareware registration. But,   the registered software can contain spyware.

What are your thoughts about spyware and adware? Are   there any possible benefits to spyware and adware? Are there any negatives?   Do you think that use of spyware is unethical? Should individual computer   users be savvy enough to protect themselves?

What can be done to protect your computer(s) from   spyware and adware? What can be done to protect the computers at your place   of work? Find one or more websites that discuss spyware and/or adware. Your   website may or may not support your position about spyware and adware.

Summarize what you learned, addressing the questions   and issues above. Did the websites support your position on the use of   spyware and adware?  How or how not?

Be sure to fully cite your source(s) using APA format,   including the URLs, so that your classmates may also visit the site.
