See BELOW Today's Top 5 Lists for Retailers on Social Media...

During the 2012 Retail Forum, several key areas of presentation revolved around the SAP INNOVATIONS for retail including Social Customer Engagement.

SAP also announced general availability of SAP Precision Retailing, a new capability that uses real time offer management to directly target in an enterprise-to-1 marketing - allowing for relevant real-time personalized promotions and offers to each individual customers.

I provided a demonstration of SAP Social Customer Engagement in the Innovation Pavilion. I spoke with dozens of people about what they are doing today and how they can immediately go live with engaging their customers "socially" with SAP's CLOUD-based solution for Social Media: Social Media by NetBase for LISTENING plus SAP OnDemand Customer Engagement to fully OPERATIONALIZE Social Media in your company

So many people were interested that I set up listening topics for each retailer to give them an idea of what's being said about them in real time - a big draw!

HERE'S A QUESTION FOR YOU:

Are most retailers simply monitoring and answering what seems to be important in the social media domains? Or is there more to the SCIENCE AND ART of Social Media then a key word search tool and a couple people responding when they can?

I think so, what do you think?
