    6 BEST PRACTICES TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR FACEBOOK PRESENCE

    INTRODUCTION

    The need for a new way to capture social marketing ROI in Facebook

    Most fans followbrands for games,contests, andpromotions. Despitethe potential forsocial engagementcommerce, marketersstillndFacebook

    ROI elusive.

    According to recent data rom Alexa, Facebookis currently the second most popular website

    in the world. Individual visits to Facebook last

    an average o 24 minutes, with almost a minute

    spent on each page view.

    These acts position Facebook as the perect

    venue or interaction between brands and their

    customers. McKinsey predicts that companies

    that rely on consumer insights or productdevelopment and marketing, such as those in

    the consumer packaged goods industry, can

    use social media to create additional value up

    to 30% o current spending on these activities.

    However, most companies have not yet

    perected their technique or maximizing

    Facebook returns in terms o both business

    ROI and new consumer insights. According

    to an eMarketer white paper, only 20% o

    marketers believed that social media produced

    a quantiable ROI in 2011. One o the major

    reasons why brands have not ully tapped into

    the Facebook potential is due to the act that

    most o them ail to oer ans what they want

    rst and oremost rom brands they ollow

    a recent Lithium survey points to 65% o

    ans connecting with brands on Facebook orgames, contests, and promotions.

    The apparent digital divide between potential

    returns and actual results on Facebook

    indicates the need or a new approach and

    measurement o social media success a

    ramework that helps brands engage with

    Facebook ans, and enables interaction and

    transaction on the social and mobile level (ormore on Moontoasts ramework, read this

    spotlight on Social Media, Return on Fan).

    Social engagement and commerce, dened as

    engagement and commerce conducted in the

    social space, represents a simple but powerul

    premise that lies at the core o generating

    ROI through Facebook. McKinsey reports that

    1/3rd o consumer spending can be inuenced

    through social shopping, highlighting the

    untapped potential o social commerce.

    Companies spend eort building and engaging

    with communities on Facebook, but in order

    to benet rom these communities, brands

    need to turn community members into active

    consumers. To do this, brands can ollow these

    six best practices:

    6 BEST PRACTICES TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR FACEBOOK PRESENCE

    Follow a new fan engagement framework

    BEST PRACTICE # 1:

    In order to succeed and drive ROI on Facebook, companies rst need to ollow a

    new method or engaging with ans. This method, called Discovery-Interaction-

    Transaction-Endorsement (DITE), combines the community-building value o

    customer insights and positive branding with the need to move these customers

    through a transactional unnel. DITE takes potential customers through our

    distinct steps, driving value at each phase:

    NEW FRAMEWORK

    1. Enable social discovery

    2. Enable social interaction

    3. Enable social transaction

    4.Enable social endorsement

    6 BEST PRACTICES TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR FACEBOOK PRESENCE

    ENABLE SOCIAL DISCOVERY

    To enable social discovery, your brand needs to meet consumers where they

    spend their time online. On Facebook, this means researching demographic

    inormation such as what your customers Like or what city or state they live in.

    Your brands should then share your content in conversations aligned with your

    ollowers interests and passions.

    Additional inormation such as whether consumers browse the internet using

    laptops, tablets, or mobile will also inuence your method or enabling discov-

    ery. In Top Digital Trends or 2012, eMarketer reports that the use o mobile

    phones and tablets will continue to rise in 2012, meaning that companies need

    to acilitate discovery across multiple platorms and screen sizes; or example,a user browsing Facebook on their smart phone will not see standard Facebook

    ads, so that user will only discover your brand through what they see in their

    newseed.

    ENABLE SOCIAL INTERACTION

    Social interactions involve getting customers to click on your content and

    ollow your calls to action. To do this, you need to listen to what consumerswant and need, and then cater to those individuals to create proportional

    value. A recent Lithium survey ound that 67% o consumers connected

    with a brand or exclusive oers, while 65% did so or games, contests, and

    promotions. From a CRM standpoint, interacting with customers through

    social media is also important or customer retention; Carol Rozwell o

    Gartner stated that ailure to respond to customers via social channels can

    cause a 15% churn rate.

    Creating meaningful interactions

    To create meaningul interactions, give consumers what they

    want. Run contests, promotions, games, and exclusives to give

    consumers a reason to continue interacting with your brand. This

    can also include giving the consumer control over events, such

    as voting on which avor to create or a snack company or what

    design to discount at a clothing store.

    As important as creating this content is presenting it, and to do

    this, make sure the oer provides a strong call to action, value

    proposition, and bold graphics.

    ENABLE SOCIAL ENDORSEMENT

    Arguably the most important step o the DITE ramework, enabling social

    endorsement allows the social sales cycle to propagate itsel. According to

    McKinseys recent study, 1/3 o all purchases could be inuenced by social,

    creating an enormous potential or companies to successully utilize social

    media, and specically, Facebook.

    Social endorsements have a potent eect on sales; social analytics company

    Spinback claims that each social Share o a product, service, or event, leadsto an average o $2.10 in incremental sales. To leverage ans own network and

    marketing abilities, companies should easily enable ans to share with their

    social graph.

    Adding a large, easily seen Share button ater completing a transaction is a

    good way to remind ans to share with their riends, and simply posting a call

    to action asking ans to share their transaction will increase their likelihood o

    sharing.

    #4

    $$$

    ENABLE SOCIAL TRANSACTION

    This third step represents the transition rom enticing customers intoclicking on your content to actually completing some sort o transaction.

    Companies in this phase o social media marketing can utilize dierent

    transactional methods depending on the end goal, ranging rom obtaining

    an email in exchange or a ree download or lead acquisition, to hosting a

    ash sale on your Facebook page to close direct sales. The key in the social

    transaction phase is the completion o your call to action (CTA), whatever

    that CTA may be.

    Social activation

    BEST PRACTICE #2:

    Facebook has evolved over the past eight years, and or brands, the most recent

    wave o Facebook marketing centers around social activation. Following the rst

    wave o listening to consumers and the second wave o publishing content, social

    activation entails reaching customers on Facebook and eectively engaging

    with them. Facebook announced that only 16% o brand posts reach ans o

    those brands, and, according to Michael Wu o Lithium, 70% o customers do not

    reengage with a an page ater Liking that brand.

    To engage with ans on Facebook, brands cannot rely on the traditional disruptive

    marketing tactics o pushing customers to brand pages. Instead, companies

    need to meet the customer on their own ground in the newseed. Meeting theconsumer with the right oer at the right time means that brands will not only

    engage with their current customers, but they will also have the ability to reach

    into the social graphs o those customers who eagerly share content they nd

    valuable with their own riends and connections.

    Tools to engage in social activation

    Companies cannot simply create Facebook

    stores with the hope o attracting visitors

    to their page. Apps such as Moontoasts

    Social Activation Engine, which includes

    social marketing and social commerce

    applications that allow distribution

    anywhere within the Facebook newseed,

    play a crucial role in eective social

    activation. Using Moontoasts distributedstore, a new consumer packaged goods

    brand took just three hours to outsell what

    that brands tab stores had sold in the past

    year!

    Another example o successul social

    activation on Facebook comes rom a

    recent cause campaign originated by

    Hans Zimmer, which included the use o acontextual app or completing a download-

    or-donation within the newseed. This

    initiative helped over 8,000 people donate

    to the Hans Zimmer campaign or the

    Aurora victims.

    BEST PRACTICE #3:

    Conduct multiple, frequently promoted campaigns

    The social space moves very quickly, and social media users enjoy and expect this ast pace. Consider the popularity o live-

    tweeting, which is dened by Twitter developers as the practice o engaging on Twitter or a continuous period o timeanywhere rom 20 minutes to a ew hourswith a sequence o ocused Tweets.

    While Facebook users measure time in hours rather than minutes, remember that according to a study by analytics company

    Edgerank Checker, customers actively engage with the average Facebook post or just three hours. Combined with the act that

    only 30% o ans return to brand pages, the data suggests that in order to cater to social users short attention spans, successul

    campaigns on Facebook must be promoted every 3-4 hours or a short timespan, usually one to three days.

    Successfulashcampaigns

    In 24 hours, a consumer goods company used Moontoast apps to host a

    ash sale, and the supporting ad campaign experienced over 14x ROI. Even

    more telling, one consumer packaged goods company conducted a success-

    ul 24-hour ash campaign with Moontoast, and 80% o total sales occurred

    in the rst 7 hours. Targeting consumers in the newseed leads to greater

    success than attempting to drive them to separate Facebook tabs or a brand-

    ed page.

    Creating multiple mini-campaigns within an overarching Facebook cam-

    paign strategy will allow your company to reap the benets o ash sales and

    numerous short bursts o revenue.

    Offer Facebook exclusives that fans wont find elsewhere

    BEST PRACTICE #4:

    As we explained in our Direct to Consumer eBook, three out o ve individuals

    who Like brands on Facebook do so to receive special deals. Statistically speaking,over 50% o people ollowing your company expect to be rewarded or Liking

    your page, so oer them exclusive coupons, sales, or clearance items that they can

    only nd on Facebook. Even something as simple as oering an exclusive product

    combination can be enough to make Facebook users eel special and generate a

    signicant return on their Like. Such an approach in turn increases direct social

    sales and, in act, becomes a powerul way to create social marketing campaigns

    that are sel-unding.

    Lady Antebellum used Moontoasts distributed store to combine best practices #2and #4, driving their largest online sales day on Facebook ever by selling bundle

    packages o 8x10 autographed photos with a hoodie and making the sales through

    ans newseeds. Speaking about the sale, A Lady Antebellum representative stated:

    The Moontoast test we did for Lady Antebellum blew us away. Not only was the

    campaign a success from a sales perspective, but it was also a success from a consumer

    engagement perspective, with more than 85% of the sales from new customers not part

    of our existing email or sales databases.

    This deal sold out in one hour targeting an exclusive oer to ans in the Facebooknewseed. That night the hoodie was reintroduced by itsel and sold out in ten

    minutes. Adding to the initial inventory, the hoodie continued to sell throughout

    that weekend.

    Driving social sales

    Two key points rom Lady

    Antebellums success are that

    the oer led to more sales, and

    equally important, by putting

    their exclusive oer in the

    newseed, the sale drew more

    new customers, suggesting

    that the deal reached a larger,previously untapped audience.

    Enable social endorsement

    BEST PRACTICE #5:

    Social endorsement plays a pivotal role in the

    DITE methodology, and due to its importance,

    it warrants its own best practice treatment.

    According to Buddy Media ounder Mike

    Lazerow, social media inuences 90% o

    purchasing decisions, creating an enormous

    opportunity or those companies who can

    successully channel this inuence. By

    creating opportunities or positive mentions

    on Facebook, companies like TicketMaster can

    earn an average o $6-8 in new ticket sales or

    each socially reerred prospect.

    HOW TOINCENTIVIZE SOCIAL

    ENDORSEMENT

    Large, easily visible Share buttons put the

    thought o sharing in the customers mind.

    When combined with a specic call to action

    to share with their riends, ans are more likely

    to take part in Facebook reerrals, especially

    or group activity purchases like concert or

    movie tickets.

    For non-group ocused products and services,

    urther incentives help convince consumers

    o the worth o sharing their purchase.

    Promotions may include basic reerral bonuses

    or sharing such as:

    X% o next order

    Free shipping on the current order or

    clicking Share at checkout

    $X o coupon

    Free git or Sharing

    More sophisticated incentives may ocus on

    perormance-based reerrals, such as:

    One ree month o service or every

    successul reerral

    $X or each customer directly reerred

    These reerrals may prove very eective, but be

    sure not to get caught up in the excitement o

    heavily discounted reerral sales; ater all, yournet revenue still needs to result in a prot!

    SOCIAL ENDORSEMENT MAY REPLACE TRADITIONAL SALES

    Just as Facebook and content marketing have challenged traditional disruptive

    marketing, social endorsements will challenge the traditional view o sales. New

    mobile service provider Solavei attempts to place customer endorsements at

    the core o its marketing and sales strategy, with Solaveis CEO stating We are

    going to make a dierence in peoples lives by shiting billions o dollars rom

    traditional mass-media advertising into the greatest advertising vehicle today

    people.

    The mobile provider will oer customers $20/month or every three new

    members that they (or someone in their personal network) reer to Solavei. This

    creates the potential or customers to earn a recurring monthly income throughacting as salespeople or the mobile company, potentially eliminating the need

    or an ofcial sales-orce. Only the ofcial launch o the company in September

    Measuring social discovery requires recording impressions o a Brands social presence.

    To do so, simply add up all possible impressions across Facebook to determine your

    brands visibility to customers. According to eMarketer, the majority o marketers relied on

    these metrics in 2011, but as discovery only covers the rst step in the DITE ramework, themetrics do not provide meaningul ROF.

    Measuring social interaction involves tracking anyone who opens and navigates through

    content once they have discovered it. Measure social interaction by recording the

    number o meaningul engagements users have with your Facebook content, including

    clicks, completion o polls, comments, contest submissions, etc.

    Measurement o social transactions is more similar to traditional marketing and sales

    metrics. Measuring social transaction involves tracking how many customers completed

    your call to action (CTA), which may include recording qualied leads, social sales, and

    revenue.

    Social endorsement represents an entirely unique measurement and should be measured

    by your brands ability to grow organically by tapping in to your ans social graphs.

    Enabling ans to share their transactions can provide a low-cost method or brand growth,

    and successul social endorsements will allow or exponentially increasing growth withconsiderably lower expenses than those associated with traditional marketing.

    Moontoast oers a ull analytics suite or our customers that provide comprehensive

    tracking o metrics at each step o the DITE ramework. Our analytics suite ultimately gives

    customers actionable insights on how to enhance perormance with subsequent Facebook

    eorts.
