Notes de l'éditeur
5 years ago: I was managing day-to-day marketing for one of America’s largest craft/hobby brands
Built the social media program from the ground up
Everything from podcast to blog to FB page of then 200K, now well over half million
Growing direct revenues and our reputation among competitors
Even so, I still got questions at every management meeting about what we were getting from all these activities. They had trouble seeing the ROI of our work—they weren’t wrong to ask
How many of you find this to be a familiar story?
It took us a while to figure out how to document and prove that value. But we’re now at a point where audience growth is harder and harder, and value isn’t intrinsic to growing a big audience.
Media?
Let’s be interactive.
I encourage you to ask questions.
This presentation is a framework, but we’ll learn more if we learn from each other.
Smart measurement lets us…
Learn from your audience, get to know them
Know what works and what doesn’t, be able to iterate
Who’s tracking…
audience size?
tracking Interaction and engagement?
behavior flow on website? How many people stay on? How many return? How many go to which pages?
Sentiment? net promoter score?
NO numbers in this talk, not going to look at how tools work, want to give you a framework
A customer-centric model for measurement leads to more accuracy and clarity for the business.
Why should we do this? Every business’s customer needs multiple touch-points with the business before ZMOT.
Think with Google said at least 11 in 2009; in 2016, it’s many more.
We need to know that marketing touch-points are incremental. You don’t usually convert during the first touch.
Avinash Kaushik: See, think, do, care
Different CTAs for people in different parts of the journey
Chase highly ranked by NetBase in terms of social media success
See: might be exposed to Chase through TV or online ad, might hit the website when they click through a youtility-driven article shared by a friend
awareness metrics
Think: Looking at banking options—consideration
How much is a customer worth to you? Do you know your customer lifetime value?
How much more expensive is it for you to acquire a customer than keep one? (acquisition cost?)
Customer lifetime value ($) = Margin ($) * (Retention Rate (%) ÷ ([1 + Discount Rate (%)] - Retention Rate (%))
Define success more narrowly than broadly
Look to create a matrix of success based on the audience, the type of content, and the stage of the customer journey
Break it down by type of content, because you’re not going to want to end up only cat photos, just because those get the highest engagement—make sure your mix of content is still addressing your business goals
Ask the right questions.
Broad-based content—measure against each niche (Wolffepack: people 30+ in NY, NY)
Track each individual version of each ad or post, so you can compare—reposting content? Make sure the tags are different
Social posts: reach, engagement, click-throughs, shares
Videos: FB allows you to see 10-second views (in addition to standard 3-second views)
Slideshares: views, drive people with a CTA at the end (possibly throughout), shares
Podcasts: click-throughs from other sources, downloads, drive people to the shownotes and/or use codes (bonus materials partway into the podcasts)
You’re still going to have social posts, video content, Slideshares, etc, but this type of content won’t be broad-based, so your have to benchmark against other “think” content.
Videos and social posts specifically related to your industry/vertical, products
Content at this stage is for people who want to learn more.
You might retarget content for people who have filled out a lead form, for instance
Your customers are ready to convert
The key here is follow-through and abandonment
How can you close the deal and learn what works/doesn’t?
Don’t just measure
Look at customer reviews, social chatter—Black Milk, Modcloth
Listen for brand references
Look for ways to track referrals from current customers—see how you can reward them
Also look at the age and interaction of accounts (e.g. email—10 year LB example)
Last Week Tonight, @Midnight—hashtags that people really want to use
Excel is your friend; export data out of FB, Twitter, etc.
You can also track website clicks with Bitly, Buffer, Wordpress
Don’t want to do it yourself? Services like Napkyn can help you out.
Are you setting goals in Google Analytics?
Which actions should be credited for the conversion of your customer?
Assigning value through attribution modeling can help you to translate social touchpoints into real business value
