WHERE	
  ARE	
  WE	
  
WITH	
  RESPECT	
  TO	
  BEING	
  ABLE	
  
	
  TO	
  CALCULATE	
  ROI	
  OF	
  SOCIAL	
  MEDIA?	
  
Most	
  marketers	
  indicate	
  social	
  media	
  measurement	
  is	
  a	
  high	
  priority	
  &	
  	
  
48%	
  feel	
  pressure	
  to	
  report	
  qualified	
  outcomes	
  of	
  social	
  media.	
  
Less	
  than	
  20%	
  of	
  marketers	
  	
  
can	
  calculate	
  the	
  ROI	
  of	
  Social	
  Media	
  
MARKETERS	
  ARE	
  UNSURE	
  HOW	
  TO	
  
CALCULATE	
  SOCIAL	
  MEDIA	
  ROI	
  
Some	
  brands	
  forge	
  new	
  ground	
  by	
  ac,vely	
  making	
  	
  
social	
  media	
  part	
  of	
  their	
  cultural	
  DNA.	
  	
  
SOCIAL	
  IS	
  JUST	
  IN	
  SOME	
  BRANDS’	
  BLOOD	
  
OTHERS	
  WANT	
  PROOF	
  	
  
BEFORE	
  THEY	
  TAKE	
  THE	
  LEAP	
  
SOCIAL	
  MEDIA	
  ADOPTION	
  HAPPENED	
  QUICKLY	
  
Companies	
  jumped	
  into	
  social	
  media	
  without	
  extensive	
  ROI	
  calculaRons	
  	
  
	
  
There	
  wasn’t	
  any	
  real	
  business	
  analysis.	
  
	
  
	
  It	
  happened	
  because	
  the	
  boss	
  said	
  so,	
  or	
  because	
  
a	
  social	
  media	
  PR	
  disaster	
  could	
  cost	
  much	
  more.	
  	
  
	
  
Examples:	
  
ARE	
  YOUR	
  SOCIAL	
  MEDIA	
  
EFFORTS	
  WORTH	
  THE	
  MONEY?	
  
Jus,fying	
  the	
  business	
  case	
  for	
  
listening	
  &	
  engaging	
  on	
  social	
  media	
  
is	
  a	
  BIG	
  ques,on.	
  	
  	
  
BUT	
  IS	
  CALCULATING	
  SOCIAL	
  
MEDIA	
  ROI	
  EVEN	
  POSSIBLE?	
  
Skep,cs	
  think	
  social	
  media	
  is	
  too	
  “fluffy”	
  to	
  
adequately	
  measure	
  return	
  on	
  investment	
  (ROI)	
  
Misconceptions
of ROI
•  That’s funny
•  But ROI is not obvious to everyone
•  And your boss would like a number
@drnatalie
You may have heard…
	
  
“Would you calculate the ROI of
your mom or your pants?
Then why would you calculate
the ROI of social media?
It’s obvious!”

Misconceptions
of ROI…
There’s a change in metrics!!
• We have 500 more “Likes”
• 10X click-thru rate on “Buy Now” button
• $5M in annual support savings & sales advocacy
• Viral videos increased company sales +700%
• Social microsites secured 1,000,000 fans and a 10%
increase in same-store sales
E
I have an ROI!!

Myth #4
“ROI is too difficult
because
I’m not
a “math” person.”
@drnatalie
Real-world
Examples	
  
@drnatalie
Analyzed online conversations:
• Their brand
• Key competitor
Ran nat’l ad campaigns & wants to understand:
• Effectiveness of messages and
• Drivers of consumer purchase intent
Case Study:
Major Insurer
Advertising Effectiveness & Competitor Evaluation
@drnatalie
Insurer Ad Effectiveness
• Insurer’s ad campaign is liked
• Didn’t generate conversation about
buying or switching insurers
@drnatalie
Insurer Ad Effectiveness
• Insurer’s ad campaign is liked
• Didn’t generate conversation about
buying or switching insurers
• Competitor ad campaign is more divisive
@drnatalie
Insurer Ad Effectiveness
• Insurer’s ad campaign is liked
• Didn’t generate conversation about
buying or switching insurers
• But spurs a conversation trend related to
purchasing
• Competitor ad campaign is more divisive
@drnatalie
Conclusion of social media monitoring
• Both campaigns generate
healthy “buzz”
• But positive sentiment doesn’t
reflect intent to purchase
• Using context avoids
misinterpreting positive sentiment
for a social buying gesture- intent
to purchase
@drnatalie
ROI of social media monitoring
ROI = Benefits - Costs x 100 = Percentage Return on the Investment
Costs
What is the cost?
•  People- to do the analysis
•  Process- process to compile the
information
•  Technology- social media
monitoring tool
What is the benefit?
•  If the commercial drove sales?
•  Number of leads?
•  What is a lead worth?
•  Number of lead conversions?
•  What’s a sale worth?
@drnatalie
Case Study:
Craft Company
Product Development & Marketing
Wants to understand:
• What topics dominate craft-related conversations?
• Is marketing having the desired effect?
• What’s lacking in the product line and accessories?
@drnatalie
cccccccccc
Identified New Product Opportunities
Discovered opportunity to
develop more male-centric
product line & accessories
Consumers’ expressed strong
desire for:
• More & better supplies &
accessories
• Improved access to
purchase those accessories
@drnatalie
•  In-house Research

identifies new product & market
opportunities
•  Prompts development of new
product accessories
•  Enables additional sales
•  Expands market share
•  Marketing
•  Gained increased confidence
leveraging social-media
•  Confirmed effectiveness of current
messaging and promotional
approach

INSIGHTS
True Social Intelligence
Delivers
•  Consumer insights to
drive business success

However, most of today’s tools do a terrible job
of helping you achieve true Social Intelligence
MOST SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING IS BROKEN
Keywords and semantics don’t work well in social media
•  Traditional tools lack the ability to understand context
•  A computer cannot replace human judgment
•  Human analysts cannot scale or provide consistency
•  Predefined rules cannot support the dynamic nature of the social media
conversation
•  Surface-level monitoring lacks accuracy and deep insight

  • 6.
    But the amountof information – can feel like an insurmountable blur @drnatalie

    10 Business As Usual Executiveswant to know what the business value of social media is @drnatalie
  • 11.
    WHERE  ARE  WE   WITH  RESPECT  TO  BEING  ABLE    TO  CALCULATE  ROI  OF  SOCIAL  MEDIA?   Most  marketers  indicate  social  media  measurement  is  a  high  priority  &     48%  feel  pressure  to  report  qualified  outcomes  of  social  media.  
  • 12.
    Less  than  20%  of  marketers     can  calculate  the  ROI  of  Social  Media   MARKETERS  ARE  UNSURE  HOW  TO   CALCULATE  SOCIAL  MEDIA  ROI  
  • 13.
    Some  brands  forge  new  ground  by  ac,vely  making     social  media  part  of  their  cultural  DNA.     SOCIAL  IS  JUST  IN  SOME  BRANDS’  BLOOD   OTHERS  WANT  PROOF     BEFORE  THEY  TAKE  THE  LEAP  
  • 14.
    SOCIAL  MEDIA  ADOPTION  HAPPENED  QUICKLY   Companies  jumped  into  social  media  without  extensive  ROI  calculaRons       There  wasn’t  any  real  business  analysis.      It  happened  because  the  boss  said  so,  or  because   a  social  media  PR  disaster  could  cost  much  more.       Examples:  
  • 15.
    ARE  YOUR  SOCIAL  MEDIA   EFFORTS  WORTH  THE  MONEY?   Jus,fying  the  business  case  for   listening  &  engaging  on  social  media   is  a  BIG  ques,on.      
  • 16.
    BUT  IS  CALCULATING  SOCIAL   MEDIA  ROI  EVEN  POSSIBLE?   Skep,cs  think  social  media  is  too  “fluffy”  to   adequately  measure  return  on  investment  (ROI)  
  • 17.
    Misconceptions of ROI •  That’sfunny •  But ROI is not obvious to everyone •  And your boss would like a number @drnatalie You may have heard…   “Would you calculate the ROI of your mom or your pants? Then why would you calculate the ROI of social media? It’s obvious!” http://www.flowtown.com/blog/what-is-the-roi-of-your-mom @drnatalie

    Social  Media  Myth  #1   “Social  media  ROI  cannot  be   calculated  because  there  are   too  many  unknowns…”  
  • 19.
    Social  business  is  s,ll  business…   …and  the  business  of  business  is   increasing  shareholder  value.   TRUTH  IS…  
  • 20.
    WHAT  IS  ROI?    A  NUMERICAL   VIEW  OF  STRATEGY   And  high  ROI  means  execu,ve  approval   for  your  ini,a,ve.  
  • 21.
    Enhanced   Brand   protec,on…   BeXer   Consumer   Insights…   Faster  lead   genera,on/   increased  lead   conversion  rates   Reaching  PR   objec,ves   faster,  beXer,   cheaper…   Increased   awareness,   reach,  relevance,   engagement…   Reduc,on  in  call   center  costs/   increase  in   customer  revenue   Decrease  in   customer  churn/   inc  customer   life,me  value   DOES  YOUR  STRATEGY  INCLUDE  BUSINESS  FUNDAMENTALS   LIKE  COST  SAVINGS  &  REVENUE  GENERATION…   If  your  strategy  includes…   Social  media  ROI  predicts  if  you’ll  reach  the  goal…  
  • 22.
    Social  Media  Myth  #2   “Would  you  calculate  the  ROI   of    pu^ng  phones  on  every   desk  in  your  company?     smROI  doesn’t  have  to   calculated!  ”  
  • 23.
    Except  businesses  do…     Evaluate  produc,vity  benefits  vs.  costs.           And  also  the  systems  needed  to  support  the   business  ac,vi,es.       HMMM….  
  • 24.
    TRUTH  IS…   There  was  a  day  when…     Secretaries  answered  the  phones   and  typed  EVERYTHING  for   workers.     Along  came  phone  switches  and   desktop  computers…     Someone  did  ROI  calcula,ons  for:     Ge^ng  a  company-­‐wide  phone   switch  and  phones  on  every  desk   top.  (Ask  Nortel  and  Avaya…)     And  a  computer  on  every  desk.     And  apps  to  get  your  work  done  -­‐-­‐   like  email,  word  processing   programs.  
  • 25.
    Social  Media  Myth  #3   Metrics  =  ROI  
  • 26.
        KNOW  WHAT  ROI  IS  AND  ISN’T   Many  people  mistake  social  media  data,  metrics  and   Key  Performance  Indicators  (KPIs)  for  ROI       Metrics  are  used  to  measure:  Reach,  Relevance,   Shares,  Likes,  Engagement,  Purchases     But  that’s  NOT  ROI        
  • 27.
    COLLECT  SOCIAL  MEDIA  DATA,   METRICS  &  KPIS   Website  analy,cs  and  marke,ng  automa,on  data   help  provide  insight  into  what  you’re  doing  right  &   how  you  can  improve.  
  • 28.
    TRUTH  IS…   Metrics  are  the  like  ingredients  in  a  good  recipe.     They  go  into  the  ROI  calcula,on,   but  they  aren’t  the  finished  dish.  
  • 29.
    Misconceptions of ROI… There’s achange in metrics!! • We have 500 more “Likes” • 10X click-thru rate on “Buy Now” button • $5M in annual support savings & sales advocacy • Viral videos increased company sales +700% • Social microsites secured 1,000,000 fans and a 10% increase in same-store sales E I have an ROI!! e Note to self: Metrics are necessary… But they are not ROI @drnatalie

    Insurer Ad Effectiveness • Insurer’sad campaign is liked • Didn’t generate conversation about buying or switching insurers • But spurs a conversation trend related to purchasing • Competitor ad campaign is more divisive @drnatalie
  • 38.
    Conclusion of socialmedia monitoring • Both campaigns generate healthy “buzz” • But positive sentiment doesn’t reflect intent to purchase • Using context avoids misinterpreting positive sentiment for a social buying gesture- intent to purchase @drnatalie
