Social data from sources like social media is growing exponentially and contains valuable insights for brands. While only 3% of companies report getting substantial benefits from social data currently, it has the potential for huge economic gains if leveraged effectively. Social data is complex with many networks, posts, and metadata to analyze. While listening is important, true value comes from analyzing social data and using those insights across departments like marketing, sales, product development, and customer service. The case study described how Dell's Social NET Advocacy Pulse (SNAP) metric and social analytics tool provides actionable insights for optimizing pricing strategy, improving products based on social conversations, capitalizing on real-time customer feedback, and more.
