Ask fans to cultivate others – measure the number of fans that move to superfans
Can you track the number of engaged fans taking action vs. others from your online community?
ROE of community commitment: increasing engagement and loyalty
1. Measure the commitment of your fans• Number of “superfans”• Number of engaged fans/online community• Number that proactively talk about your org• Number that create (something you asked them
to do)• Number that participate interact with others• Other measures relevant to your organization
2. Assign weights to each, depending on what is most important to your organization
3. Overall weighted score = level of community commitment
ROE and SMART goals
Are your fans taking the action that you asked them to do?
Are they playing the online game? How many? From which social media channels?How does that compare with last month’s actions?
Look at what actions you’ve designed and their effects on your SMART goals: what needs to be tweaked, what is not working?
