Chapter 1
Introduction
This study focuses on various aspects of formulating a new organizational brand and how
utilizing social media is vital to maintain a strong brand in todays society. In a world full of
brand names everywhere you look, new brands should take a more direct approach in their
branding process, and reach out through social media. Social media has many benefits for a
business, including viral potential, cost, and the creation of brand reputation (Mohamed, 2012).
By using traditional branding tactics along with new technology like social media, new brands
can easily differentiate from competition, develop a strong customer base and achieve success.
Branding is an important tool, especially for a newly formed organization, that can be developed
and used in conjunction with social media to create a specific and successful image for a new
organization.
A brands corporate message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it
appears to come from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or company itself.
Social networking sites and blogs allow individual followers to retweet or repost comments
made by the product being promoted. Social media allow marketers to refine their segmentation
strategy by reaching a narrow target audience
Through social networking sites, brands can have conversations and interactions with individual
followers. This personal interaction can instill and strengthen brand loyalty amongst followers
and potential customers. Thus, each participating customer informally becomes part of the
marketing department, as other customers read their comments or reviews.
7 | Page

Brands often use social media to transform customer comments and testimonials into relevant
and compelling content for personal selling, advertising and other promotional tactics. Listening
to social media chatter also helps companies stay in tune with public sentiment about their
brand. By tracking and analyzing conversations on social media, public relations professionals
can catch problems early and prevent negative publicity from turning into full-blown crises.

Background of the study

Social media marketing refer to the process of disseminating messages gaining internet traffic or
attention through social media. In order to promote a personality cause of business. It involves
all methods strategies channels and platforms aimed at using social media platforms to
communicate and engage a defined target audience in order to meet defined marketing
objectives.
The convergence of technology and social media have changed the people interact with one
another and business can no more ignore these digital communities. The internet has simplified
business communication thereby improving the way companies sell, promote products and
services.
Social media marketing communications typically centers on efforts try an individual or
organization to create media content (music, article, and video) that communicate marketing
messages that attract attention and encourage its target audience to experience interact and share
information with their social networks to meet a business objectives. A corporate message on
social media spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it appears to come
from a trusted.
Social media advertising is gaining the attention of business and brands because of basic
advertisement which includes: its relatively lower cost, targeted advertising measurement,
personalized messages and a great opportunity to drive traffic from leading social networking
sites to business and brands personalized platform.

Purpose of the Study

8 | Page

With new technologies available like social media and social networks, such as Face book and
Twitter, a growing number of companies are using these outlets to connect with customers and
consumers, while simultaneously creating a brand and brand personality. By connecting with
these customers directly, on a one-on-one level, these customers begin to create an attachment
with that specific brand, and remain loyal to it.

History of BMS (book my show)

Our His'story' - Told the way we like it. Blood, Sweat, Toil and a lot of Beer :)
12 years ago in South Africa a seed of an idea was planted, a dream was shared. Inception
happened. 12 years on, we look back at what we've built. Leave it up to us, and we'd love to do it
all over again. Here's our story:

The Three Musketeers:

and Co-Founder Rajesh Balpande takes over Finance.

2007

The Big Bucks:

Literature review
The review of literature centers on the existing knowledge and research related to branding an
organization, what a brand is, how it is developed and determined to be successful, and maintain
a brand through social media.
What Makes a Successful Wellness Brand?
If brand equity is linked to a brands name and value, then a successful brand must be expressed
through

set

of

five

dimension:

brand

loyalty,

perceived

quality/leadership,

association/differentiation, awareness and market behavior Applied to successful wellness

brands, according to Bernhart (2006), Branding all health initiatives under a single title and logo
is technique common to all the platinum-winning wellness programs.
In assessing a successful brand, there is high importance in customer value perception,
customer satisfaction, brand loyalty and competitive differentiation (Pitta and Katsanis,
1995). Research by Pitta and Katsanis suggest, Successful companies better understand the
importance "customer value-perception" plays in both the short and long run. Less successful
companies appear to be more focused on the shorter term, citing "customer satisfaction" as a
primary measurement tool. Ultimately, a combination of the two will be critical for successful
Brand management.
One Can Maintain a Wellness Brand through Social Media
Teresa Bozzelli, vice president of consulting firm Sapient Government Services, says, what
differentiates electronic usage as social media is that is becomes interactive. Its not bound by
13 | P a g e

time or place. Its an immediate dialogue and a two-way engagement. Wellness brands can
utilize this two-way connection to maintain a relationship with their customers, simultaneously
building and maintaining their brand (Marshall, 2011).
Book My Show Fans dont just like us, they LOVE us too!
Its been less than four years since Book My Show came out in 2007 and it already boasts 40%
CAGR in revenues and holds over 90% market share in the online entertainment ticketing space.
With a listing of over 1000 screens across 87 cities around the country, we have partnerships
with all major Indian production houses as well as the Indian counterparts of some which are
based abroad. Our partnerships also extend to cinema chains which include INOX, BIG
Cinemas, Cine MAX and Fun to name a few. 75% of all cinema tickets sold online are via Book
My Show with peak sales which have touched the mark of over a million tickets. Book My Show
has already sold tickets for over 1500 plays online and we have exclusive tie-ups with theatres
viz. Prithvi Theatre and the NCPA (Mumbai), Indian Habitat Centre (Delhi) and Rangshankara
(Bangalore). In addition to plays, we have also been ticketing partners for concerts and sport
events, too. Book My Show was the official ticketing partner for Mumbai Indians, Kings XI
Punjab, and Rajasthan Royals and was the official online ticketing partner for Delhi Daredevils
for the latest season of IPL in 2011. We improved on the customer experience by providing an
intuitive way to book tickets online and allowed easier accessibility by tie-ups with Caf Coffee
Day, Reliance Fresh and Reebok to allow sale of tickets in their outlets. We were also the official
ticketing agency for the prestigious Yonex Sunrise Badminton Asia Tournament, hosted in the
capital for the first time in April.
Pre Book is our distinctive method of allowing our customers to book for tickets for their
favorites movie well in advance so that they can be the chosen few who get to see it first-dayfirst-show.
Book My Show, as a web-based product, needed to be propagated more fully to the internet
savvy customers that we had. Having a social media campaign seemed to be the best solution
and we hit it head-on. The Social Network has helped us in bridging the gap that the customers
had with Book My Show and gave them a personal experience for every problem that they faced.
We also decided that our customers got the benefits of being loyal to us and organizing contests
to reward them free tickets, merchandise and free previews seemed like the best thing.
14 | P a g e

We were on Facebook as early as August 2007 but it wasnt until Nov 2010 that we decided that
our approach needed a strategic change and we started seriously focusing on our Facebook
campaigns. 1Nov 2010 15th June 2011 marks months during which we ran several campaigns
to supplement our new strategy improving visibility and reaching out to our potential
consumers
All our customers are internet savvy as our product itself is web-based. Considering this, we
found it imperative that the best way to get to our customers would be by use of something that
would be web-based. Our earlier efforts to increase our customer base had primarily been
advertising campaigns during key events. We felt the need to give our customers a better
experience and solving their doubts, queries, and grievances in a more effective manner. What
we most required was a platform which would allow all of this and also let us put our points
forward and allow us to reach more people. That was the research that went behind tackling the
problem at hand.
Our main aim in creating Bob was to make our Fan page friendly, informal & interactive for all
our fans. Gaining maximum visibility via consumer connect was the prime idea. Instead of major
spends on traditional advertising media (TV/ radio etc.) we opted for a cost-effective way to
create our brand image via Bob and directly connect with our consumers.
We have kept our fans engaged via exclusive fresh first looks of movies& movie content,
exciting contests, quizzes, movie merchandise freebies and tickets to be won. We started
approaching &associating with major production houses (Hollywood & Bollywood) for content,
merchandise and tickets (and later even FB Apps & cross promos for publicizing their Fan
Pages). It is a cost effective win-win for both where our fans are happy and the films get great
visibility and promotion. We have done the same for events, plays, concerts & sporting events as
well.
We have an integrated FB application named Ticket Buddy which allows users to book tickets
without leaving their social hub. Ticket Buddy allows you to book movie tickets in the same
fashion as on the website. The Pre Book functionality on Ticket Buddy is, however, innovative.
It allows you to Make Your Friends Pay by reserving seats for you and your friends but just
paying for your tickets and making your friends pay for theirs by links that are posted on their
wall. If the Pre Booking gets confirmed, you and your friends will all be seated together.
Our fans interact with us as well as other fans through our fan page. This creates a broad
community of people who share a common interest whether it may be movies, plays, concerts,
15 | P a g e

sports, actors, actresses, the latest gossip just about anything! Whats more via face book
mentions (@tags) we have started promoting other Fan page communities to our fans & viceversa is also applicable as is in the case of Y-films, Mumbai Indians & Delhi Daredevils official
Fan Pages that use us in their mentions to talk to our fan community regularly.
However, our social strategy has also been aimed to help us get more tie-ups with the production
houses and using our demographics to help them understand how our fan page can get them
more exposure too. This has worked both ways and we can usually brag about having firstlook promos photos and/or videos and/or merchandise that heightens the customer
experience.
Reach
Book my show reach is across channels like Face book, Twitter, YouTube, and Book my show
Blog. But our major platform that is used the best is Face book.
Face book Fan Page The fan page is a more current informative platform where our posts
include latest movie trailers and event updates, periodically spiced with quiz questions, movie
merchandise, premier and free screening of movies and celeb Meet & Greets.
Blog The blog features the latest movie reviews from BMS reviewers as well as renowned critic
Rajeev Masand, a B-town Buzz section with the latest pictures from the latest Bollywood events
& parties, polls, offers and discounts and miscellaneous articles about our activities, tie-ups,
products, etc.
Twitter Entertaining while interacting is our aim here. We tweet music, trivia, quizzes, polls
and latest movie news. We are proud to have recently added cricket to our agenda.
YouTube This is where we upload our latest trailers & some exclusive ones which are provided
to us before any other media or channel.

Scope of the study

Currently only 10% of the Indian audience buy tickets online on an average. Having seen
the great potential for market expansion, especially with accelerated growth of the Indian
film industries and emergence of smart phone.

Induce customers buy their entertainment tickets online.

Social media marketing has a rich potential to reach virtually unpredicted traffic within
the limited span of time.

It is also one of the cost-effective ways of promotion of web business with structured
approach and dedicated participation.

With the development of web 2.0 technologies there is a significant improvement noticed
in the social networks. Virtually every people are connected to some or the other
networks and many out of them are multiple networks profile. Wide the wider audience
base on social networking platforms can be use as effectively as mass promotion
platforms.
19 | P a g e

It is also one of the cost-effective ways of promotion of web business with structured
approach and dedicated participation.

Limitation
Collection of data is always a tedious task. There were a number of constraints and difficulties
faced by me during the collection of data for this project. They can be enlisted as follows:

Most of the people were not ready to fill up the questionnaire due to time constraints.

The information obtained may be biased because of the tendency to finish the
questionnaire fast

The geographic area covered was only Pune, the answers of this survey cannot be
considered for other cities as it may vary from city to city

Due to less time my research was limited we only considered college students rather than
the population having impact of social media marketing on their perception towards
brands.

Research methodology
A quantitative and qualitative research is designed to determine consumers perception towards
organizations that use social media. Through this study a safe conclusion can be arrived at on the
involvement of brands on social media. This research will also help organizations determine the
potency of their social media campaigns and to anticipate the response of their target audience.
Project design
Descriptive: Descriptive work aims to gather information that illuminates relationships,
patterns and links between variables. In my research I used this design to find out the
relationship between the social media marketing and the consumers perception towards brands
because of that.
Explanatory: Explanatory research aims to show why relationships, patterns and links
occur.
Quantitative research: Quantitative research is generally associated with the
positivist/post positivist paradigm. It usually involves collecting and converting data into
numerical form so that statistical calculations can be made and conclusions drawn. Quantitative
research refers to the systematic empirical investigation of quantitative properties and
phenomena and their relationships. The objective of qualitative research is to develop and
employ mathematical models, theories or hypothesis pertaining to phenomena. Quantitative
research involving the use of structured questions, where the response options have been Predetermined and large number of respondents is involved.
Sample design
Under sample design the method of non probability Sampling is been used to collect data from
the respondents. The respondent of different age group is considered who uses the benefits of
online marketing.
Sample selection
21 | P a g e

Size of 100 respondents was taken under this research.

SOURCES OF DATA COLLECTION
Primary data
Primary data is a data which is collected in a first time, whether sample surveys or census
surveys, then we can obtain primary data either through observation or through direct
communication with respondents in one form or another through personal interviews. This in
other words, means that there are several method of collecting primary data, particularly in
surveys and descriptive researches. Important ones are:Observation method, Interview method, Questionnaire, through schedules etc
Secondary data
Secondary data means data that are already available i.e., they refer the data which have already
been collected and analyzed by someone else. Secondary data may either be published data or
unpublished data .usually published data are available in:-(a)various publication of central, state
and local government;(b)books, magazines and newspapers; etc.. The sources of unpublished
data are many; they may be found in diaries, letters, unpublished biographic etc.
Data collection method
Questionnaire is used as a method of data collection. This method of data collection is quite
popular, particularly in case of big enquiries. A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting
of a series of questions and other prompts for the purpose of gathering information from
respondents. A questionnaire consists of numbers of question typed in a definite order on a form
or set of forms. The survey instrument itself will include 13 close ended and 3 open ended
questions. The instrument is probe the consumers awareness, behavior, opinions and perception
towards social media platforms and how they want organizations to interact with them. It is the
most convenient way of collecting the information in a short span of time.

Chapter 5
Data analysis and interpretation
The analysis will help us determine frequencies and percentages of the responses. The analysis
will reveal and help evaluate Indian consumers attitudes and behaviors towards brands that use
or participate in digital conversation. This research also determines if consumers want
organization to use social media to communicate with them and how they perceive organizations
already using the platforms.
