I’m putting my Carnack hat on and writing down the trends I see in social media for 2012. Social CRM: I predict in 2012, I think we’re going to see an increasing attempt to translate digital profiles back to a customer.

As you know better than I, we are in the early innings of social media. My hunch is that, as more organizations are able to successfully utilize social media, the dominoes will start to fall. In many industries and in many types of organizations, however, that’s not going to happen tomorrow. Change takes time.

I totally agree that repurposing content across social networking platforms is a necessity, and that saying what you mean and meaning what you say across every channel is very important. I also think that there is a lot of potential in the often overlooked message board communities that existed well before both Facebook and Twitter.

Finding Your Influencers As noted in the study, the notion of true 1:1 marketing via social media is a bit of a fallacy. It’s really only possible in a reactive sense via social CRM, where individual complaints or questions can indeed be handled. That’s a good starter list for Mass Influencers. Good stuff.
