Best Social Metrics to Monitor
Hello, I’m Jim Glover, That Branding Guy, for Once a Day Marketing™. Today we are looking at the best metrics to monitor to determine the success of your social media campaign.
The recent Business Insider study “Debunking the Myth of Social ROI” shows that dollar-value ROI metrics such as revenue per customer, sales levels, and profits per customer, are losing favor with social marketers.
Brands deploying outbound marketing are discovering that social media isn’t usually a direct means to sales. Therefore, monitoring financial returns is not proving to be a good way to determine the success of the social media efforts.
According to the study, new metrics are emerging to track audience building, brand awareness and customer relations. It’s becoming clear that social media is a strong tool to help build a brand.
The outbound marketing efforts at Once a Day Marketing the past two years directly align with the Business Insider findings. Through social media we have created a strong Internet presence for our brand, developed great online business relationships and bolstered the strength and stature of our brand.
We now view social media as a permanent fixture of our overall branding strategy. As you implement your marketing plan be sure to include social media tactics and then monitor how it builds reach, engagement and sentiment for your brand over time.
