Customer experience management in social media : An empirical study of how Swedish e-commerce companies work with customer experience management in social mediaEriksson, Oskar, Axelsson, Mathilda January 2022 (has links)
The increased use of social media has enhanced the way consumers make their everyday purchasing decisions. This has increased the importance of e-commerce companies to be present on social media. E-commerce companies that now use the capabilities of social media have led to the emergence of social commerce. Social media gives mutual gain for customers and companies but has also increased the amount of interactions e-commerce companies need to manage their customer experience (CE) in. As social media gives more control over the CE to the customer themselves it now becomes a challenge in maintaining the seamless CE that is demanded by the customer. Customer experience management (CEM) is becoming a priority for managers and one of the most promising marketing approaches. CEM is about using customer insight to achieve long term customer loyalty. To gain competitiveness on the market and increase profitability e-commerce companies now need to provide a memorable CE in social media. Despite this, most companies have failed to implement CEM initiatives. There is moreover a lack in research on the combination of the topics of social commerce and CEM. This makes it highly relevant to conduct a study with the intention of answering the following research question: How can Swedish e-commerce companies work with their customer experience management on social media? This study conducted a multiple case study on Swedish e-commerce companies to investigate how Swedish e-commerce companies use CEM on their social media and what challenges and opportunities that exist. The study uses an inductive research approach with an element of deduction where the theoretical framework presents theories in the field of social media, social media marketing strategy (SMMS) and CEM. The study conducted qualitative semi-structured interviews with seven marketing managers. The respondents' answer showed that feelings and company culture worked as strategic directions when creating CE that in turn created engaged customers that through two-way interactions gave valuable insight for the company to use for improving their CEM. Challenges for the management was the decreased attention span of customers and an ever-changing context on platforms while there were opportunities in social listening software and the possibility to forecast upcoming trends using the data gathered from social media.

Marknadsförings (o)förmåga att bidra till konsumtion av grönt mode : En studie om hur modeföretags gröna marknadsföring påverkar gapet mellan unga konsumenters attityder till grönt mode och deras faktiska köpintentioner. / Marketing’s (in)ability to contribute to the consumption of green fashion : A study about how the gap between young consumers' attitudes toward green fashion and their purchase intentions is affected by fashion companies' green marketing.Tronêt, Katarina, Jönsson, Emma January 2022 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how green marketing can bridge the gap between young consumers' attitudes towards green fashion and their actual purchase intentions. In order to identify and gain an understanding of the factors that influence the effect of green marketing, a multi-research method is used (a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods). The qualitative data is collected through focus groups and is analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings from the focus groups are summarized as three themes: green identity, environmental knowledge, and consumer cynicism. The quantitative data is collected through a questionnaire that is based on the three identified themes. The quantitative data has two main functions, a descriptive one, as it examines a larger sample, and the ability to study the correlation between the identified factors and the affected purchase intention. The result presents that the green gap between young consumers' attitudes toward green fashion and their purchase intentions is affected by fashion companies' green marketing on social media. The results of the combined statistical and thematic analysis show a significant negative correlation between two of the identified themes (environmental knowledge and consumer cynicism) and the variable affected purchase intention. The third identified theme, green identity, indicates a positive significant correlation with affected purchase intention, although the correlation is weak. / Det finns en vilja hos många konsumenter att konsumera hållbart men den hållbara attityden återspeglas inte alltid i konsumentens köpintentioner eller köpbeteenden. Detta fenomen kallas för attitude-behavior gap och omtalas ibland på svenska som det gröna gapet. I denna uppsats undersöks hur svenska modeföretags gröna marknadsföring på sociala medier påverkar det gröna gapet mellan unga konsumenters attityder till grönt mode och deras faktiska köpintentioner. För att identifiera och studera vilka faktorer som påverkar effekten av grön marknadsföring används en flermetodsforsknings, en kombination av kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod. Den kvalitativa datainsamlingen utgörs av fokusgrupper och den kvantitativa av en enkätundersökning. Genom en tematisk analys av fokusgruppernas data identifierades mönster bland de unga konsumenternas tankar och upplevelser, som sammanställts under tre teman: grön identitet, miljömedvetenhet och konsumentcynism. Med utgångspunkt i dessa teman, studiens syfte och uppsatsens teoretiska referensram utvecklades en analysmodell, baserad på delar av Ajzens (1991) modell theory of planned behavior. Utifrån analysmodellens teman utformades enkäten. Data från enkätundersökningen har bidragit med deskriptiv data från ett större stickprov från populationen men har även gjort det möjligt att statistiskt analysera korrelationen mellan variablerna relaterade till analysmodellens teman. Resultatet visar att det gröna gapet mellan unga konsumenters attityder till grönt mode och deras faktiska köpintentioner påverkas av svenska modeföretags gröna marknadsföring på sociala medier. Det föreligger signifikanta negativa samband mellan två av analysmodellens teman, miljömedvetenhet och konsumentcynism, som testats mot variabeln påverkad köpintention. Resultatet från fokusgrupperna och enkätundersökningen har visat att en medelhög nivå av miljömedvetenhet har en positiv påverkan på det gröna gapet. En hög nivå av miljömedvetenhet resulterar istället i att konsumenter blir mer skeptiska gentemot företags gröna budskap och har därmed en negativ påverkan på det gröna gapet. Konsumentcynism har i båda undersökningarna visats ha en stark negativ påverkan på det gröna gapet. Bland konsumenter som upplever att grön marknadsföring skapar köpintentioner finns ingen utbredd konsumentcynism vilket kunde identifieras bland en övervägande majoritet av konsumenterna som upplever att grön marknadsföring inte påverkar deras köpintentioner. Det föreligger ett signifikant positivt samband mellan temat grön identitet och variabeln påverkad köpintention. Emellertid är korrelationen svag och inga betydande skillnader kunde identifieras i den sammanställda empiriska data. Grön identitet har således ingen påverkan på det gröna gapet mellan unga konsumenters attityder till grönt mode och deras faktiska köpintentioner.

The importance of brand identity on social media for micro and small publishers / Vikten av ett väldesignat varumärke på sociala medier för små bokförlagHvam, Frida January 2022 (has links)
In today’s world, using social media is part of many people’s daily routine. As many consumers exists on social media, the networks have become attractive marketing channels for brands around the world. To stand out in the crowd of companies and become more recognisable among consumers, brands can implement a consistent brand identity across their communication channels. This study examines the importance of brand identity for Swedish micro and small book publishers (MSPs) on social media, in order to find out how the use of brand identity on social media impacts their businesses. To accomplish this, four respondents from book publishing companies were interviewed to learn how developed their companies’ brand identities are, how they market their business on social media, and what they think is most important about brand identity and social media marketing. The results from this empirical research were then categorised according to qualitative content analysis. Through analysis, it was concluded that the companies themselves find brand identity important, but that they implement it differently. It was also concluded that the most important part of brand identity on social media is the companies’ tone of voice and brand personality, and that these parts steer the visual identity. So, in conclusion, brand identity is important for Swedish MSPs on social media, but it does not have to be fully developed to be effectful. / I dagens samhälle är användningen av sociala media en del av många människors dagliga rutin. På grund av att många konsumenter finns på sociala medier har nätverken blivit attraktiva marknadsföringskanaler för varumärken runt om i världen. För att stå ut bland alla företagen, och bli mer igenkännliga för konsumenter kan varumärkena implementera en konsekvent varumärkesidentitet på sina kommunikationskanaler. Denna studie undersöker betydelsen av varumärkesidentitet för svenska mikro och små bokförlag (MSP:er) på sociala medier, för att ta reda på hur användningen av varumärkesidentitet på sociala media påverkar deras verksamheter. För att åstadkomma detta intervjuades fyra respondenter från bokförlag, detta för att granska hur utvecklade deras förlags varumärkesidentitet är, hur de marknadsför sitt varumärke på sociala medier, och vad de tycker är viktigast med varumärkesidentitet och marknadsföring på sociala medier. Resultaten från denna empiriska undersökning kategoriserades sedan enligt kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Analysen ledde till slutsatsen att företagen själva tycker att varumärkesidentitet är viktigt, men att de implementerar det på olika sätt. Resultatet visade också att den viktigaste aspekten av varumärkesidentitet är företagens röst och varumärkespersonlighet, och att dessa delar styr hur den visuella identiteten ser ut. Sammanfattningsvis visade resultatet att varumärkesidentitet är viktigt för svenska MSP:er på sociala medier, men den behöver inte vara fullt utvecklad för att vara effektiv.
