BURGER KING – FRIENDS VS. WHOPPER: RESULTS…
Over 20,000 users added the application to their Facebook profiles within a very short period of time
They dropped over 200,000 friend in total
Facebook then blocked the application. The official version was data protection issues. There are also strong rumors that Facebook simply didn’t like the approach
This only led to more PR for the application. The term “sacrifice your friends Facebook app” shows over 100,000 results in Google

DELL.COM – EMPOWER YOUR CUSTOMERS: ERGEBNISSE…
Dell claims that their Twitter presence led to three million dollars of sales that can be tracked down to their efforts on the platform. This number might not be huge at first but it certainly exceeds the cost of Dell’s Twitter presence. Plus the story provided for plenty of free PR
The most active user in the Dell community has already posted over 20,000 replies. All of this at no cost for Dell since he is not an emlpoyee. His postings have been read over 2 million times. This led to additional sales and huge savings in tech support

DELL.COM – EMPOWER YOUR CUSTOMERS…
Bottom LineBeing able to tie multiple platforms together is one of the big benefits of social media. Even though the ROI can’t be predicted in advance sales results can eventually be tracked down. In many cases the conversion path is hardly visible. A direct correlation between the results of user involvement and word of mouth propaganda to sales increases can be hard to prove.
