    Goldstein Group, Nov, 2009: social media accounts for only 1% of total B2B marketing budgets

  • Think less about buying social media, and more about how you can earn and own it!If youre good, you can get a lot of value on social networks from very little investment. You are almost rewarded for getting better results by spending less money.

    --Ian Schafer, CEO, Deep Focus

  • Social media marketing participation among marketers in the U.S.*Maintain company accounts or profiles on social sites (average of B2C and B2B marketers)We spend the majority of our time engaging with people on these networks, not advertising on them.

    --Scott Monty, Ford, in an interview with eMarketer

  • Think social marketing, not media. Know your objectives! Leverage TRUST. Listening comes first. Join the conversation but add value.

    6. Be Authentic, Humble, Transparent.

    7. Recruit from your core.

  • Dont know how

  • The biggest problem of all: Lack of Clear Objectives

  • Social Media Measurement TodayFor the few marketers who do attempt to measure social media, the metrics they use are not terribly sophisticated. Most marketers today do not invest sufficient time, effort or money on social media measurement.

  • The watch words are cheap...

  • Business.com Survey% Using Site Traffic as a Measure of Social Success: B2B............ 68% (#1) B2C............ 57% (#1)... andeasy

  • If 2009 was the year marketers dived into social media, 2010 is the year theyll be measuring how well theyre doing there.

  • THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT(circa 2010)

  • Getting a handle on social media leads to improved business resultsFor those top best-in-class companies, a majority of whom monitor social media, these firms were 87 times more likely to see higher returns on their marketing investment.Found a financial correlation between those firms who are deeply and widely engaged with social media and those that significantly outperform their peers in revenue and profits.

  • Establish clear marketing goalsOrganize your metrics into a logical frameworkTake a long-term outlookConsider a range of softer metrics as proxiesDetermine a dollar value for customers who opt-in to engage with your brandConsider the cost savings in market researchIntegrate social with other metrics7 Guidelines for Achieving ROIfor Social Media

  • #1. Establish clear marketing goals, and then identify social metrics that directly support those objectives.

  • e.g., Some marketers seek to boost search activity, which can be done through targeted ads on social networks

    Boostedbrand searches significantly*

  • #2. Organize your measurements and metrics into a logical framework.ExposureEngagementROI/Outcomes

  • #3. Take a long-term outlook with social media interactions and measurements. Its a commitment, not a campaign.The one thing people need to remember when it comes to social media is that it cant be a one-time hit when youre trying to get involved with consumers. The whole purpose is youre trying to build a relationship with the consumer [and thats] like building a relationship with anybody.

  • #4. If hard ROI metrics are difficult to track directly, consider a range of softer metrics that can be linked back to desired outcomes.Hard ROI

    Sales Leads Cost-per-sale Profits

    ConsumerSentimentVideo Sharing Rate# ofFollowers# ofBrand Fan Pages# ofBrand SearchesSoft Metrics(i.e., Measures of Engagement)

  • Or, create a Social Media Dashboard composed of soft and hard metricsUsing a variety of hard and soft ROI metrics can absolutely be accomplished. I would offer that volumes of conversation over competitors, sentiment, the level of influence of those who are interacting with your brand, etc, are but some of the metrics that can be used to construct a dashboard of success.

    --Blake Cahill, Visible Technologies

  • For example, if someone on a blog or social network is trashing your brand, what is it worth to you if one of your passionate brand fans speaks out on your behalf?

  • #5. Determine a dollar $ value for customers who choose to opt in and engage with your brand via social networks.We look at the percentage of Facebook fans that convert to customers, the percentage increase in their frequency of visits, projected increases in their average ticket and...we can project their future value. Are we 100% right? No. But are we directionally correct? Absolutely.--Jim Ensign, VP

  • Focus on Your Core:Brand EnthusiastsProspectsCustomersCOREPeople Who Sign Up for Brand Fan Pages:

    More likely to buy... 51%More likely to refer.. 60%

    --Chadwick Martin Bailey, Mar, 2010

  • Learn how consumers talk about your brand, product or service categoryNotice what words and language they useLearn about their interests and intentions Discover real or perceived problems with your product or customer service, e.g., via Twitter#6. Listening can save you market research $sBy listening carefully, we harness social media as an early alert system.. so we can react quicker to issues.

    --Richard Brinhammer, Dell

  • Social media provides inexpensive yet powerful opportunities for tapping into the consumer ethosI view listening as an important analytic. Listening and other analytics can drive your strategy at a macro-level... They can either reinforce your strategy or correct it, and give you opportunities for ideas, products, services and/or segments.

    --Michael Mendenhall, CMO, Hewlett-Packard

  • #7. Build the technological capabilities to measure your customers complete digital footprint in real time.Marketers need to capture: Intentions serving messages in real-time based on the assumed intentions of the consumer. Mentions the things people say about your brand are more important than what you say.Thanks
