For consumer customers, use high-priced products to allow customers to make multiple purchases and tap higher consumption potential. 4.

For member customers, design a distribution fission plan to allow member customers to invest and tap the value of their social resources 02 WhatsApp social marketing business model design The picture accompanying the historical article has expired WhatsApp social marketingThe business model of global expansion needs to include the following parts: 1. Top-level design of WhatsApp social marketing business model This includes establishing the basic thinking model of social marketing, completing the top-level design of the business model, designing implementation plans for actual social operations, and providing reference for customer success experiences. 2.

Calculate the total value of customers The first step is to calculate the total value of business target customers in advance, including the number of members, lifetime consumption and fissionable number of people, so as to obtain the overall scale of business operations. Calculate total customer value Sales = Number of members  x  lifetime consumption  x  fission number Who are the members? Number of members = Number of contacts x Fan conversion rate x Transaction conversion rate x Member conversion rate How much does each member spend here? Lifetime consumption = purchase frequency x average life cycle x average customer price Who will be a distribution partner? Number of people in fission = (member recommendation x fission level) ^ N ØWho are the members? Number of members = Number of contacts x Fan conversion rate x Transaction conversion rate x Member conversion rate The number of members is the basic data of social marketing. There are several conversion rates from potential users to member users, and each business needs to operate this conversion rate well. Ø How much does each member spend here? Lifetime consumption = purchase frequency x average life cycle x average customer price Social marketing is different from single advertising in that it maintains emotional connection with customers through social interaction and taps the customer's lifetime consumption value. Ø Who will be the distribution partner? Number of people in fission = (member recommendation x fission level) ^ N Every member has lifetime consumption value and social resource value, and social fission will bring orders of magnitude user growth. 2.

It is not an emotionless customer service account, but a real customer service with emotional interaction; Each account management unit continues to communicate with customers through WhatsApp friends, WhatsApp groups, WhatsApp Status, etc. to complete the advancement of customer relationships. Ø Member product definition Membership products must be systematically designed, progressing from attracting followers, low customer orders, to high customer orders; Membership products must be highly repurchased, urgently needed, able to maintain membership relationships for a long time, and tap into customer lifetime value; Membership products are a combination of product functions, membership services and relationship progression, giving member customers a series of product and service experiences.
