Download - The true measures of success in Social Media
If fans and followers aren’t a true measure of social success, what
is?
Social is the same as any other marketing channel
• Understand the audience• Build a compelling message• Retain the audience
Marketing is about influencing user behaviour
• Measured over time• Defined by ongoing user conversations
Fans, Followers, Subscribers etc. define a single membership action but not behaviour over time
So how do we measure social behaviour?
• Select appropriate channel for campaign and audience
• An integrated approach within all marketing • Referrals from and to other online and offline
assets
Define the campaign journey
The success of the channel
• Channel engagement• Active users• Comments
Engagement levels
• How engaging is the content (Views/feedback)
• Offline/online content (Consistent)• Ability for the content to be shared
(Reach)
