Let’s start with a definition
In business, the purpose of the "return on
investment" (ROI) metric is to measure,
per period, rates of return on money
invested in an economic entity in order to
decide whether or not to undertake an
investment.
![Page 7: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
An example ROI Calculation
![Page 8: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Applying this to social media
Easy, right?
WRONG!
![Page 9: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Applying this to social media
Why?
• The higher up the sales funnel, the harder it
is to measure ROI
• Also, social media is not just about sales, it’s
about awareness
• With so many metrics to measure, where do
you start?
![Page 10: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• 88% of marketing professionals didn’t
feel they could accurately
measure the effectiveness of their
social media campaigns. (Forbes)
• 52% said social media ROI was their
biggest frustration. (Forbes)
• Currently, 96% measure number of fans
and followers, 89% measure traffic,
84% measure mentions, 55% track
share of voice, and 51% track sentiment
The good news is…you’re not alone

• Fearing what it will say about
company effectiveness
• Lacking the right tools, will or
resource to collect data
• Failing to understand which data
is relevant
• Having the data but not knowing
where to begin

WHY are companies not measuring it?
![Page 12: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Think of it like this…
![Page 13: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
‘The weight of a television set has nothing at all to do with the clarity of its picture. Even if you measure to a tenth of a gram, this precise data is useless.
Measuring nothing (with great accuracy)
![Page 14: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A person's Klout scoreor the number ofTwitter followers shehas probably doesn'thave a lot to do withhow much influenceshe actually has.
Don’t be too quick to judge
![Page 15: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
So if you’re purely
looking for an
immediate
increase in your
sales.
Sell, sell, sell

The death of social ROI?
Some analysts claim:
• ROI in social media is no longer en
vogue
• ROI metrics are in decline
• Social media ROI is dying a death
However, to accept this 100%, is a
cop out.

ROI: Difficult, but not
impossible.
The good news…
![Page 18: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• First of all, don’t always think of social media in terms ofsales.
• Tie in social media with your business goals – which ofthese can social media support?
• Build Brand Awareness?
• Improve customer satisfaction?
• Drive web traffic to your site?
• Create an engaged community of advocates?
• Grow your Customer Database?
• Boost Sales?
No one-size-fits-all
![Page 19: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Once you have decided on your social media goals,
you need to decide which metrics you will use to
measure them.
• Website / blog traffic — (referral source is a social media channel)
• Website registrations — email marketing campaign
• Increase subscribers, followers, fans, +1s
• Increased engagement score
• Increase positive sentiment
• Organic search rankings
• Increased sales
• Increased leads
• Increase cost savings
• Increase number of mentions
• Decrease customer service inquiries
BUT – these numbers alone are not ROI!

Can you now assign a financial value to each of these
goals?
• Sometimes this is possible – but not always
• Let’s look at where this IS possible
…Now we can look at ROI
![Page 21: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Direct Sales
![Page 22: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Social media and direct sales
We know social media can drive direct sales
• Consider a unique way people can buy from you that is exclusive to your social
media channels. E.g. a promo code, specific landing page or coupon available
only through Google+
• Then, track the sales that are generated through those initiatives. This is the
one place you can calculate true ROI.

as a customer service channel,
and there’s huge benefits.

effective brand response on social media are likely
to recommend that brand to others. (NM Incite)
• Customers will spend 21% more if they receive
good customer service via social media

Social media and customer service
Social Customer service also presents
a good opportunity to calculate ROI
• What are the costs saved on customer
service via social media?
• Cost of dealing with a traditional
customer service enquiry via call centre
• Satisfaction rating
• How does dealing with that same issue on
social media vary?

Social media and customer service
Infusionsoft case study
• A web-based provider of marketing automation
software for SMEs.
• Social Customer Service was driven by
a frustration in how ineffective many of the
contact centre technologies were
• In 2011, the company had approximately 1
customer service agent for every 55
customers and a 77% customer satisfaction
rating
• Two years later, that ratio was 1 agent to 172
customers-- and with a 87% customer sat rating.

Traffic
![Page 30: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Web traffic
Social media can be a huge
driver of web traffic. Not only
that, but it’s QUALITY traffic.
• Consumers are 71% more likely to
make a purchase if they arrive on
a website from a social network
(Frost & Sullivan 2013)
• 70% of active social network users
are already active online shoppers
(Nielson)
![Page 31: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Traffic is money
Ask the right questions to estimate
the value of each click
• How many referrals are your social
media efforts driving to your website?
• How much do you already spend
on PPC?
• What is your average conversion
rate?
• What is your average basket size?

What about consumer’s time?
![Page 36: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Much of social media is about brandawareness and advocacy.
• If you genuinely value consumer engagement,then this is an obvious place to start toconsider an ROI
• Each time friends share a brand experience,they invest time and trust in theirrelationships.
• Each brand touch-point between thoseconsumers represents a commercial valuethat you’d have paid for through conventionalmedia channels
How could you apply this model to yourbusiness?
Consumer’s time
![Page 37: Getting an roi from social media](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554d0e14b4c9052c5a8b4eea/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• No single metric for social ROI
• The devil is often in the detail
• Think laterally about how you can attribute monetary value to social activity
• Constantly adapt and evolve your measurement to suit
• Clearly defined goals and outcomes are key
• And of course produce a final insight report on the total impact of the initiatives. Success? Failure? Repeat? Or Rethink?
• Also get your head around Facebook/YouTube,Google+ Insights,Google Analytics, Sysomos, Follower Wonk, Tweet Reach, LeadForensics, Twitalyzer, Kred, Klout, Peer Index, Sprout Social and somany more.
And finally….
