What Is Social Media Monitoring?

• Share: Send relevant information to consumers based on interest
Why Is Monitoring Worthwhile?

The Point of Understanding:

system• Macro and micro analysis must be made• Sales / Marketing / PR / R&D / Executive's... all need this
data

Subway Map of Social Tools
Pick A 'Route' For 'The Brand'
Once 'the brand' understands where users are online it should start develop an action plan. It's time to ask questions...
• Does the a tool monitor a specific Social Channel well?• Is organic growth likely?• Are there existing strategic relationships?• How is 'the brand' going to set up an engagement plan?• How is 'the brand' going to define success?
Does 'The Brand' Have one...
'The Brand' Is...
'The brand' is what the consumer says it is...
• 'The brand' has to decide who 'the brand' wants to be• Monitor and adjust... To keep or change this image• Personality is not a snapshot, and doesn't change overnight• Executives may need to make major adjustments to correct
or maintain the image at the corporate level
Social Media Monitoring Will Tell...
• How consumers view the brand• How new promotions / movements are being received• How promotions / movements could improve
Using a monitoring tool you get to see a bigger picture...
Social Media Monitoring tools are like high powered Satellites...
Two Views Social Media Monitoring Provides
Micro Macro
The Micro View... What To Do With DataThree pillars highlight data on the micro level:
• Actionable: Data community managers can respond to and engage with
• Specified: Data has specific insights into conversations about 'the brand'
• Contextual: Data looks at specific posts providing the brand with reach user context (who, what, why, etc.)
*Almost all search tools can provide this data to some degree
The Macro ViewWhat Is The Bigger PictureMacro data can provide important business indicators
• Predictive indicators for sales• Share of voice• Channel comparison (Blogs v. Twitter v. Facebook...)• General sentimentality• Benchmarks• Popular keywords used• And Much much more...
*If you think of something else leave a comment.. Just know we included it in the much much more.
Limitations of Free Tools
Free tools (such as search.twitter.com) are time-sensitive and limited to a certain number of posts.
• Monitoring Tools have Archive history• Monitoring Tools provide robust Data• Monitoring tools track more than Twitter...
• Monitoring tools track Forums, Product pages, Comments, Blogs, Facebook Pages, and much much more!
So Now What?
• Establish "The Brand's" objective looking at monitoring tools• Select the tool (or tools) that work best for "The Brand"• Establish the current position of "The Brand" • Establish engagement strategy that fits "The Brand"• Establish early ROI indicators such as Satisfaction, Frequency or
awareness.
OR...
Use Free tools spending hours returning less meaningful results
