We initially got involved in conversational marketing through our work with an Australian Rules Football team. No lack of passion and emotional involvement with the product there! Customers almost pushed us out of the way to participate and contribute to the buzz of the online community.
Our next conversational customer gave us pause however. Groceries. Who would want to discuss grocery shopping in an online community of interest? We were concerned that the category itself lacked the interest levels required to build and sustain a community.Â
Are some products too boring for buzz?
