Return On Investment
ROI is a term of corporate fear
You Measure Return If Your Goal Is $$$
The Answer To “What Did I Get?” Is:
“What Were You Trying To Get?”
What Were Our Goals?
To increase website traffic
To increase online sales
To decrease negative online sentiment
To capture consumer insight
To improve search results
What’s Your ROI For This?
Return On Investment
ROI Is A Business Metric, Not A Media Metric
Measuring ROI of Social Media Alone Is Unwise
Measure It Across Marketing
One Slice Of Marketing Does Not Alone Drive Sales
Return On Investment
What We Can Measure Well (Soft Metrics) Awareness Impressions Comments, Interactions Sentiment, Tone
