Think ROE instead of ROI…
Social Media success is about “Return on Engagement”…Successful engagement is based on:
• Making connections• Communicating in an authentic way• Having a consistent and welcome voice and message
73
Monitor “Return on Objective” by tracking:
• Growth of number of connections, followers, and friends on social media sites.• Increase in relationships with influencers and potential clients.• Reach and positioning, via unique visits to each site, search visibility, Facebookinteractivity, Twitter interaction, etc.• Search engine optimization via link building.• Sentiment monitoring: determining how your organization is being discussed inthe social media space.• Continually fine tune plan to focus going forward on most effective engagementand relationship building.
