Technologies our advocacy experts can use to support your program:

Advocacy marketing is a strategy that aims to identify and leverage satisfied customers, engaged employees, trusted partners, and other advocates to promote a brand’s products or services. The goal of advocacy marketing is to highlight positive experiences and communicate them in a way that creates a marketing and selling impact, ultimately leading to increased brand reach and business outcomes. To succeed in advocacy marketing, a brand must prioritize delivering high-quality products and services, nurturing relationships with its community, and building strong win-win relationships with customers, employees, partners, and contributors.

In many companies the term “advocacy marketing” really means “customer advocacy marketing”. As a result, those brands only focus on customer voice. Reviews, testimonials, event speakers, and referrals are the only profitable acts of advocacy for the brand. Satisfied customers are great! 

But so are happy employees. And your partner network. Or your alumni.  

Word-of-mouth is ancient. Word-of-mouth occurs everywhere whether we like it or not. It’s in the fabric of human interaction. People have always talked about their experiences, emotions, and needs. Everyone your brand interacts with can be your advocate. And advocacy programs can change the way you grow.

Advocacy marketing may overlap with your other programs — loyalty, references, referrals, social media, community management, customer success, or client support. Of course. All these programs also target your engaged employees, trusted partners, valued customers, proactive developers.
 
The challenge in many organizations though, is that all these programs sit in different lines of business. Different leaders, with different visions, measure the KPIs with different yardsticks. And often, the people you need to have on your side, your internal and external fans, receive too many asks. So they start disliking the experience.
 
Your advocacy marketing program can be an overarching blueprint by pulling resources together in a single vision.  
Advocacy marketing programs drive brand loyalty:

A dedicated program for customer, employee, partner, or other types of advocacy, has many advantages. You can ask and receive feedback. Or you can share product news and corporate updates. You can collect innovative ideas. Or you can educate and inspire these communities. As a result, you will see increased revenue from repeat business, up-sell, and cross-sell. Or increased revenue from resellers. And last but not least, decreased costs with recruitment and retaining employees.

Advocacy marketing programs expand the reach of your brand message:

Paid media becomes more expensive and ineffective every day. Thus, brands need to look to other channels to communicate their marketing messages. That channel for a lot of brands is advocacy marketing. And for good reason. Brands see 800% more engagement on posts shared by employees, when compared to the same posts shared by official brand accounts. And they see 650% ROI for every dollar invested in influencer and advocacy marketing.

Advocacy marketing programs generate new business through referrals:

Having an army of customer, employee, and other advocates, is a goldmine. Online businesses get 60% of their sales thanks to referrals from advocates and fans. 82% of consumers proactively seek referrals from peers before making a purchasing decision. And they are more loyal to the chosen brand if they purchased based on a referral.

Advocacy marketing programs put new leads in your funnel and help close existing deals:

88% of people trust online reviews written by other customers as much as they trust guidance from personal contacts. Your advocate community can generate the reviews people look for early in their research. They can also produce the references and the case studies your sales reps need to advance the pipeline and close deals faster.

Your brand advocates support their peers, thus deflecting support costs:

According to IBM, businesses across the world spend over $1.3 trillion on 265 billion customer service calls each year. Besides that, companies spend money supporting internal requests as well. Such as routine questions employees have for the HR team, or partners have for their channel support. Advocate programs can buddy experienced customers, partners, or employees with less experienced peers. This helps the newbies through onboarding steps, thus deflecting costs from other departments.
