How Vicongdong can help FPT Corporation doing CSR and then help FPT build great image? How will connected marketing theory be more suitable for building marketing plan for Vicongdong? Which disadvantages will affect the feasibility of marketing plan for Vicongdong? Significance The thesis seems to be necessary for Vicongdong at this period and it may be reference for other companies want to CSR most effectively Limitation Connected marketing theory is relatively new and incipient in Vietnam so it requires some different factors The access to data source may be incorrect and lack of information It requires some certain knowledge on donation and community activities Expected result The author respect it to apply connected marketing theory on the case of Vicongdong and build a marketing plan based on this theory Follow up potential In the case of approval by the project, the author would like to study deeply to apply in reality with more information and time It will be basic for studying theory “built to last” for FPT Corporation The author also want to study an adjusted theory suitable for Vietnamese companies Content The content includes three parts: Chapter 1: Literature review – Connected marketing Chapter 2: External environment analysis and connected marketing activity of Vicongdong Chapter 3: Recommendations CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW– CONNECTED MARKETING Chapter I of the thesis will explore the literature of a recently marketing term – connected marketing including the definition, types of connected marketing and how to process a connected marketing campaign 1.1 Definition: Connected Marketing 1.1.1 Marketing The term of marketing is very popular to all of organizations and businesses It relates to a crucial industry that affects on many other activities and plays a huge role for the development of a business or non-business unit Especially, it has a special effect on the image of an organization However, up to now there has no consolidated point of view about this concept According to American Association – AMA, “Marketing is a business activity which drives products and service from the manufacturer to customer” Philip Kotler, a leading marketing expert said: “Marketing is to work with the market to exchange with the purpose of satisfying demand and need of people identifying and meeting human and social needs.” According to Peter Drucker, “the purpose of Marketing is not to promote consumption Its purpose is to realize and penetrate customer so thoroughly that goods or service will fill the right demand of customer and it will be consumed automatically” Therefore, in general, marketing is all activities of researching, recovering demand on goods or service of people and satisfying them best 1.1.2 Connected Marketing Nowadays, the development of information technology as well as digital technology has opened new trends in society It seems that the world is really flat as the theory about globalization of Thomas L Friedman, the author of an international bestselling book “The World is flat” Globalization also means all parts of the world have the similar concerns and the ability of connecting together Miss Vietnam 2010 that most people in Vietnam recognize them In addition, the press often posts news about their activities Innovating messages Vicongdong.vn has many advantages in creating online messages, which will be the basic to practice viral marketing campaign Base on the advanced technology of web 2.0 that FPT is leading in Vietnam market The available source of FPT: FCC FPT Telecom Marketing team Game online & nhacso.net newspapers FPT Media Film producers Programs corporate with VTV Figure 3.3: Fractural marketing at FPT [24] Some websites can provide art programs to create message: http://vitalk.vn/ http://vithiep.vn http://vihuni.vn/ http://viphoto.vn/ http://vimusic.vn At this time, there is less connection among units of Visky, the making use of them is very crucial for saving time, cost and getting high communication effect 97 Vicongdong can cry them for supporting in creating message under flash, video clip, high quality photo or mini film…The message has to stimulate the social responsibility of the community Then, the message will go along with the image representative or the Opinion Leader to trigger the new strategy For example, Vicongdong chooses Miss Mai Phuong Thuy to be the ambassador for the strategy with two types of target customer as above Vicongdong can create message crying for sponsors such as: “For each 10,000 VND, you will be famous” – “Với 10.000 đồng, bạn trở nên tiếng” This message will attract sponsor to click on the message and go into the website Vicongdong.vn Message crying for supporter maybe: “Choosing a sponsor, raising money for help” – “Chọn nhà tài trợ, kiếm tiền quyên góp” or “Doing benefaction with no coin” – “Làm việc thiện không tốn xu” Làm việc thiện không tốn xu!  Click Với 10,000 đồng, bạn trở nên tiếng  Enter Figure 3.4: Creating communication message Seeding trials Right product: Vicongdong can create the interactivity on the website by building a function of chatting, posting comment, writing blog for individuals/participants The individuals/organizations can create their own activities here but they will be warned within the for – community information not other spam information By this way, they will contribute their ability on crying for help for the difficult and create a friendly social network They can write messages, post video clip, music as their 98 charity messages and spread to the other people by inviting them to go into the site or embed the site to the other websites and offline messages The product the author suggests here has to combine the sponsors’ benefit and the excitement for visitors on Vicongdong.vn Vicongdong.vn will list charity programs, for example: 10.000 clothes for poor students 10.000 hygiene boxes Warm clothes for school – “Mùa đông ấm” project Trolley for the handicapped Hanoi kids Stand up to cancer Bank book for poor women Others The visitors will sign in as member of the website by filling fully information including full name, address, identity, phone, email, password, country, city Then they will choose any sponsor that listed by images (brand names or advertising pictures) Members of the website, the supporters will be on the next step to see more about the sponsor Here, the sponsor can show the supporters their advertising images, famous songs or video clip, which depends on the sponsor and the content developing department of Vicongdong In addition, this advertising image or video clip will be inserted in supporters’ blog on the website vicongdong.vn, in other social channels that they embed in to share to their friends and community with message below - tagline, for example: “Vinaphone is helping me to raise money for children” Each charity program and a sponsor the supporter choose, the supporter will indirectly contribute an amount of money to the receiver and this amount the sponsor who gets benefit from advertising will pay (That is CPC – Cost per Click accounting for the sponsor) For example, when Nguyen Van A chooses HSB as 99 sponsor for a program he enters named “Warm clothes for schools”, HSB will pay 1,000 VND for the program because HSB has committed that Of course, HSB’s brand name will be recognized through an advertising clip or beloved songs and will be spread to many online channels Vicongdong.vn can list many programs for fundraising However, to launch the strategy as seeding trial product, Vicongdong should choose one program in short time to activate the strategy, and then spread it For example: “90 days for fresh summer”, a program initialized by a voluntary group on vicongdong.vn This is a program crying for the consciousness of keeping environment fresh, in which charity groups of student from universities will participate to make the street clean, avoid traffic jam and organize entertainment for poor children in the street 90 days will be the time for the strategy; a clock will conversely count the time to the end When people take care of the program they will watch a flash/ video clip or article linked to the website vicongdong.vn and then they will see many other charity programs Right people: The opinion leader as suggested Mai Phuong Thuy will be the ambassador for the program We invite her to be image representative Some other OLs may be economist experts (E.g Mrs Pham Chi Lan), international experts (E.g experts from World Bank, WHO, KPMG …) and government officials We invite them as OLs who direct organizations to realize on CSR Their idea about charity activities on Vicongdong will help make a high appreciation from organizations for Vicongdong programs Beside that, charity groups’ leaders will be the first people to know the idea During the drawing idea process for the program, opinion leaders, some hot bloggers and other community leaders discuss together and making suggestion They also figured out the criteria of the program, meaning of the program, ways to execute and then posted on private blogs, schools’ forum, charity groups’ forum Right action 100 Before triggering off the program, there will be a round table including some famous experts with the topic on CSR; or an interview with a famous expert; or a conference; or a display on CSR activities of businesses Then, Vicongdong should invite OLs contribute idea to finalize the content of the program to be perfect and more feasible; the performance may be under online first and then offline meeting with the participation of voluntary group leaders They actually realize their importance in building the program because they have rights to say, contribute idea and find out the difficult question for themselves about fund raising Hence, they support the program and spread the information automatically These OLs of course will tell good things about Vicongdong’s programs to their peers on the community or before the press We can see that the Hawthorne effect will be created immediately The Hawthorne effect is that Vicongdong can choose OLs to be the active force to represent charity program via their friendly images, funny video clip and their blogs on the website including many interesting and private information to attract supporters Spreading the campaign The information about the strategy is transferred by many ways: offline messages, ecards (using e-card in website Vithiep.vn of Visky), Facebook, blog, forums (forums of voluntary groups of social networks with social activities topic), Pr articles on Dantri.com, Vnexpress.net, Vietnamnet.vn, Laodong.com.vn, Tienphong.com.vn , newspapers of FPT, music songs or banner on nhacso.net of FPT communication On the website of Vicongdong.vn, with each information (news, clip, flash or mp3 song …) we create sharing widgets such as Facebook, Twitter, Blog, Yahoo Message, Inviting friends … The visitor will choose the channel to spread the message Here are some spreading tools we can take: • Digital / electronic marketing tools • Video Clips • Emails 101 • Ebooks • Links • Banners • E-Signatures • ViThiep Some community websites of Visky: http://violympic.vn/ http://www.vimua.com http://vicongdong.vn/ http://lienhoanamnhac.com/ http://vihd.vn/ViHD/ http://vitalk.vn/ http://vibeyeu.com/ http://vihuni.vn/ http://vimap.vn/ http://viphoto.vn/ http://www.vinaanh.com http://vimusic.vn Vicongdong should exchange banner with some famous websites such as ttvnol.com.vn, mp3.zing.vn, nhaccuatui (websites for young generation) and economic websites Finding more and more chances to promote the site, the success will be near in another day Measure the efficiency of the strategy: Although these programs are humanity ones, we should set the time to execution; for example: year or years; 90 days or 300 days; 10,000 pens for children In addition, we can measure the efficiency to track the change in different periods If we know the inefficiency and find out the reason, we will promote solutions to get better results Anything Vicongdong does, it should refer to the results, of course Visky FPT has provided a tool named Viad to measure and 102 control the efficiency of Marketing Campaign Another tool can help is Adwords Google Analytics Google Analytics is a facility to track the website through indexes number of visits, average time on site, bounce rate, pages’ visit, % new visits, traffic sources (visitors come from what websites including direct traffics, referring sites, search engines) in a particular period Figure 3.5: An example of Google Analytics – [7] Google Analytics also helps us create marketing campaign by purchasing some adwords or key words Through campaigns, the author groups traffic sources from marketing activities, follow the results and then make the suitable adjustment 103 Figure 3.6: An example

Figure 3.9b: A sample of a new campaign - On supporter’s profile [37] 3.3 Some other proposals Vicongdong is lacking professional marketing staff After leaving of hot blogger Demento who was very active and smart in communication, the marketing effort of Vicongdong has become weaker The marketing staff does not have had efficient marketing solution and has not had much online marketing method For each contest or award, it hires some part – time students from Institute of Press to hold event and write pr articles That is the difficulty of Vicongdong in building as well as implementing marketing campaigns Vicongdong should recruit high quality and professional marketing staff to undertake the role Vicongdong should revise previous programs such as “Chim én”, “Mầm nhân ái”, “Chúc phúc” They have both good point and disadvantage which has been commented much on the website vicongdong.vn These programs have created echo for Vicongdong and helped attract thousand of members So revising them is very essential for building a high quality charity/ voluntary website and 106 keep member on the website In addition, from such programs we can select which projects to add on the new strategy to cry for sponsorship There has been a comment on the website vicongdong.vn that it is so redundant and turbulent The visitor finds difficult to get the exact information they want and it seems to be flooded in information “forest” On the homepage, there are so many columns, so much information and some coincidences It needs to fix under better performance Using clip and flash will make the website more exciting and look like solid Vicongdong should insert sharing widget to help spread the news Up to now, on the website vicongdong.vn has no sharing links such as facebook, twitter, blog, yahoo messenger …, which are large online social networks Requesting the visitor to share the news is very essential to “viral” and helps promote the website Vicongdong should create a website verifies and verified Creating a site verified means Vicongdong will be verified by another independent organization If so, Vicongdong will be dependable and safe charity/ voluntary website and it will be easier to attract sponsor as well as member Creating a website verifies means that Vicongdong will be the evaluation authority to projects By that way, other charity groups get the sponsorship more easily However, Vicongdong should improve the process to get the legal permission from the Home Office to set up an NGO CONCLUSION “World is flat” Moreover, people connect together quickly and closely Internet, we say a new incomparable energy source, plays a very important role nowadays If mobile phone can connect people easily as slogan of Nokia – “Nokia connecting people”, Internet can more than that Internet has made everything changes Internet helps humankind understand each other, closer and closer Internet brings out new communication methods, new working styles, new relationships, and new fresh live styles Internet has effect on many industry, Marketing and Business cannot avoid this trend 107 Marketing is no longer simply about trying to identify the 20% of your customers, who represent 80% of your revenue, then keeping this group loyal and trying to acquire more who fit their profile With connected marketing, the aim is to profile and recruit customers who represent the 10% of society that helps influence the majority of all purchasing decisions These influencers are not necessarily the customers who spend the most money with you, but they are the people who can help amplify and accelerate positive word of mouth about your brand In this thesis, we have harnessed some results: The basic theory: Connected marketing is a marketing term relating to new marketing techniques that “using word of mouth connections as marketing media to drive growth It covers three emerging techniques in marketing: viral marketing, buzz marketing and word of mouth marketing [54] The author also studied the Hawthorne effect and we know that people will increase their productivity, their contribution to the result when they are put in important roles and they have feeling of being respected Three main types of Connected Marketing includes viral, buzz and word of mouth marketing are analyzed in detail in this chapter In addition, the author represented the new transferring and receiving message model In chapter II: The author researched about the external environment, conditions for the developing of Connected Marketing The current situation of charity groups lacks of professional working style, management skills, vision and scopes The appearance of Vicongdong seems to fill the blank Although FPT uses Vicongdong to its corporate social responsibility, Vicongdong still has to work independently as a charity organization and an NGO in the future Vicongdong has more advantages of information technology and Visky –FPT’s business network in implementing its charity activities, connecting individuals and groups among charity community In chapter III: The direction of developing marketing activities of Visky, that Vicongdong belongs to, shows us connected marketing is prior choice Visky tends 108 to develop and apply connected marketing in every website in the future and promotes a Pr Agency On the website Vicongdong.vn, the contest “Mầm nhân 2008”, the Award “Chim én 2009” and the program “Chúc phúc” are three first rockets for marketers to practice connected marketing After the connected marketing campaigns, Vicongdong has harnessed many results on click, impression, member, visitor, articles and number of comment It has helped Vicongdong become the number one site in voluntary/charity field In general, connected marketing has been applied in step - by -step successfully in Vicongdong It creates basics and experiences for marketers believe in their potential capacity when executing connected marketing in Vietnam market Finally, it is sure that the thesis cannot avoid errors and minor defects It may come from the disadvantages of being inexperienced and lack of practical test method The remark on Vicongdong.vn mainly bases on subjective point of view of the author In addition, it always remains a fact that the outsider is hard to access the secret development plan of any organization Therefore, the author would like to receive more complaint and appraisal to make it better REFERENCES 2-5 7-8 Administration Department (2007), Visky FPT Alexa.com Arndt (1994), Word of Mouth
