Notes de l'éditeur
Must know the numbers that matter to key players in your business
One tool or one data set will not give you your ROI
More followers does not directly translate into higher ROI People do not make buying decisions based on how many “likes” a brand has
All of the social media platforms have built-in analytics that provide the basis and obvious insights You must utilize third-party tools for deeper and more meaningful insights
Ask yourself and research: How are you measuring up to your competition? How do you fare against the industry in general?
Use qualitative data extracted from daily interactions with consumers (can be used as case studies)
Let the numbers dictate the course ahead Ask yourself: What worked? What didn’t? Why? What can we adjust to make it work next time?
Ask yourself: What does success look like? What are you trying to accomplish? What is the return you’re after?
Don’t just present data and numbers, make stories out of them (i.e. case studies) Identify relevant data points Account for them Shift strategy accordingly
Social Strategists & Community Managers Sheer numbers (fans, followers, visitors, interactions, sentiment, etc.) Marketing Executives Brand & Actions (awareness, purchase intent, lead generation, redemption) C-Level Executives Sales (conversions, lifetime value, revenues)
Utilize an assortment of methods to show effectiveness Some commonly used methods include: Traditional ROI % Facebook Fan Value Redemptions
Do not over-quantify and get persuaded into thinking you need to measure everything
Your social media strategy is far too complicated for software to analyze The analysis depends on your interpretation and how you define success
What measurable goals do you seek? Increase brand awareness Drive leads Drive traffic to website Reduce customer service cost Improve customer satisfaction Improve customer retention and loyalty Increase sales
Critical first step to understanding the starting line and how to measure any improvements Used to identify where you are and where you want to be Benchmarks need to align with campaign and may include content analysis or surveys
In order to see and measure results coming from a specific campaign, adding unique tracking is a must Tracking can take the form of a tracking code on a URL or a unique code required during in-store purchase
Make sure results using unique tracking is recorded Gather data and analyze results Compare results to benchmarks and goals Segment data to obtain different views To determine the real value of a fan/ follower, you must analyze: Whom they are What they consume How often they consume it
Cost is a big part of the ROI equation and goes well beyond hard media costs. To determine cost, look at these categories of costs: People: the number of people who contributed x the number of hours spent x their hourly rate (agencies too!) Technology: Any software or technology used in the campaign Process: Creative and production costs
If the appropriate tracking has been implemented, the return should be fairly easy to identify. Without the appropriate tracking, return becomes harder to isolate and attribute to social activities alone.
Here comes the fun part! Once you have each piece of the formula you can plug everything in and evaluate your ROI.
