It's about breeding a culture whereby your community and stakeholders want you to win -- "pissing out of your tent" the saying goes. It's also about being where your customers are and making it easier for them to do what they'd want to do anyway. Social media should be the byproduct, a means to an end. Nothing more.

The culture part I “get.” But just how do you quantitatively explain this to a business owner or traditional marketer?

Is there a fine line at creating a culture to produce a “company-sponsored fan” or do we just sit and hope that someone will just start a blog about our product/service?

Can an agency or consultant help a company with “priming” the waters by starting up such an endeavor, using a few fans or running some promo or contest in order to get one?

Is it a social media “faux pas” to manufacture a social media culture around a brand, product or service? Can we do something hyperlocal for business? After all, even the small mom and pop businesses can use some of this new fangled social media mumbo jumbo, right?! ;-)

Culture and scale…how can we define in terms we can understand for the small local busienss?
