Session for How to Measure Social Media in Government, May 1, 2013 http://www.aliconferences.com/conf/measure_social_media_gov0413/index.htm With social media use on the rise in government, communication efforts require an integrated approach. Supporting marketing efforts with social media messages is a big part of this integration. Texas.gov, one of the 29 state portals under the NICUSA umbrella, has successfully used this strategy in its efforts to increase awareness and online adoption of the driver services offered on its website. Creating and following a plan that integrates social media and measuring the results of those efforts has helped to bolster the success of an advertising campaign aimed at increasing driver license and vehicle registration renewals. In this presentation, you will hear how Texas.gov: - Incorporated social media into their communication efforts - Determined what to measure to receive the most accurate ROI - Measured the effectiveness of their social media efforts

Notes de l'éditeur
- We’re doing business in 33 states -- running 29 state portals, including 2 of the 10 most populous states -- Texas & Pennsylvania. The transaction numbers are double what they were just two years ago. Adoption of online services continues to rise year after year.
- Be specific.
- PolicyTool is a 12-question wizard that spits out an internal social media policy for your employees. In a word, it’s awesome. Click— In case you can’t read that URL, it’s...
- My two cents: develop more strategy than policy. A twenty-page policy doc will be outdated by the time it's completed and approved. Instead, create "Terms of Participation" and focus on specific unwanted behavior. Bottom line: policy is no longer sidelined and there are many great examples to follow. The last link is an online database of social media policies.
- The New York Senate’s Terms of Participation document is basically five paragraphs. 1. we encourage you to participate and contribute 2. all posts are subject to limited monitoring 3. this is what’s inappropriate 4. this is what will happen to inappropriate content 5. acknowledgement that by participating you agree to these terms
- There are many topics to choose from when composing a tweet. For example, you can use twitter as a way to promote your services (as you can see here, the Travis County Tax Assessor regularly tweets when the vehicle registration renewal deadline is approaching. You can also inform the public of local news or emergency updates by posting links to the full story, or even to address customers most frequently asked questions.You can also tweet about special events, your agency’s press releases, relevant news stories, and awards or recognition that your agency may have received.
- Listening is a catalyst. It can feed your efforts.
- Listening can help attract followers and stimulate conversation. Helps diffuse frustrations by being able to identify the issue and respond.
- Notice “competition” in quotes. You probably don’t have competition in the corporate sense of the word, but in this realm the rest of government is your competition. Use social media to see how your initiatives, websites, or online services are stacking up.
- Demographics, popular topics, keywords, events, other agencies/organizations Listen and analyze before jumping in with new content.
- You can google around for calculations and equations that might turn all of those measurements into a usable ROI dollar amount. But I think for most government organizations, a better use of time is to take all those measurements and consider it your “Return on Engagement.”
- The important x-factor when looking at all these numbers is sentiment. The “ugh”s versus the “awesome”s.
- The important x-factor when looking at all these numbers is sentiment. The “ugh”s versus the “awesome”s.
- With the ultimate goals of increasing transactions and building brand awareness, Texas.gov uses an integrated approach in its marketing efforts. What does that mean? For every strategic goal we’ve set, we try to tap into all of our marketing channels to ensure success. An example of that is our advertising campaign which we use primarily to increase driver-related transactions. Social media is a big part of that integrated approach. We use an editorial Calendar to keep us on track and help us in our efforts to be more social We’re still learning about when to use which platform and how to best utilize each platform Twitter – Quick short way to broadcast a message widely Facebook – Can go a little more in depth, but still have to keep it short and sweet LinkedIn – Our platform for reaching out to current and potential partners YouTube – Increasingly popular; use for a variety of purposes – demos, webinars, ad campaign commercials Pinterest – Fun way to connect with citizens To talk about ROI or ROE , I’ll use our advertising campaign as an example. Our ad campaign focused on driver services (primarily our top two revenue producers – DLR & VRR) Consists of interactive banner ads and video commercials aired on TV and Hulu Equally important is our supplemental promotion: Driver landing page (having a centralized page helps us funnel traffic and enable us to measure traffic from ads) Press releases Additional driver services are promoted Links are tagged with GA (if they are one of our applications) or Bitly (if we don’t host the application) to measure Include a “Tweet This” call to action Social media Press release messaging Promote applications themselves Videos added to YouTube channel Measuring success Press releases – Links are tagged using GA (if we host the application) or Bitly (if we don’t host the application). We can measure: Clicks on the links Conversions (for hosted applications) Social media messages – tagged links Clicks on the links Conversions Videos Views
- Equally important is our supplemental promotion: Driver landing page (having a centralized page helps us funnel traffic and enable us to measure traffic from ads) Links to demo videos on our YouTube channel
- We use SM platforms to promote our advertising campaign, i.e. driver services Press release distribution via SM – General tweet about press release; tweet directly to bloggers and post about it on FB and LI Media pitch – include “Tweet This” call to action Upload the commercials to our YouTube channel
- We promote services other than our driver-related ones We try to humanize our sm messaging by adding photos and by including some fun, non-application related messages Listen to SM conversation Respond to opportunities to promote Examples of the dialogue we’ve had with followers
