Performance Measurement
• Social media can be ‘cool and funky’ ...... but it should also deliver ROI and positive business impact
• Your social media strategy should be: – fully aligned with and supportive of overall business goals and
objectives– driven by agreed business objectives, KPIs and targets
• On-going performance measurement benchmarked against agreed objectives is critical
Performance Measurement
Should be undertaken at four main levels....
• Web 1.0
• Web 2.0 (Individual Channels)
• Web 2.0 (Overall ‘Buzz’) • Business Impact
Web 1.0 KPIs
Site visits Unique visits Geographical spread of visits Length of time spent on the site Navigation through the site Most/least popular pages Number and quality of site enquiries e-mail registrations e-commerce sales User feedback on the site Links
Web 1.0 measures are still important....... but in a social media era, new performance measures are
required
Social Media KPIs
• There will be ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ in social media. ‘Winners’ will be those companies who fully utilise the interactive power of 2.0 technology for building strong ‘1-to-1’ customer and network relationships
• Those who fully leverage social media for Identifying, Acquiring, Retaining and Growing ‘Quality’ Customers
• In a social media era, the key drivers of future business success are:– Network quality– Relationship strength– Ability to leverage
The Four I’s
The Four I’s
• Involvement – number and quality of people in your various online networks/communities
• Interaction – actions they take – read, post, comment, reviews, recommendations
• Intimacy – affection or aversion to the brand ; community sentiments, opinions expressed etc
• Influence – advocacy, viral forwards, referrals and recommendations, social bookmarking
The Four I’s
Can be measured at two main levels.....
• Individual Social Media Channels/Platforms – the effectiveness/success of each social media channel you use benchmarked against agreed targets
• Web 2.0 (Overall ‘Buzz’) – your organization’s performance or ‘presence’ in the wider social media landscape
Social Media Monitoring Tools

conversations about your brand, the overall‘buzz’ being created by your social media
activities , who is talking about your brand,where on social media and the sentiments being
expressed.... later
Web 2.0 – Individual Channels
