Social Media Quotient: Most common ‘Measuring the ROI’ queries

Dear readers, thanks for the ever wonderful responses for our social media marketing (SMM) blog posts and a special thanks to all our premium members for their valuable trust in us.

The three most common queries that were posted across from readers about SMM campaigns:

• Is this social media marketing really going to work?
• What can be the duration or least time-line that I can plan for my smm campaign?
• Some agencies promise to measure metrics and some only brand, how does this work out and how do we find out if they can really do this for us or no? we are a mid-sized company.

In the fast paced world of today, technology has so far beaten everything but time. The need for measuring your Brand’s Social Media Quotient has become an obvious part of any campaign. What is required is for it to be quick paced as money is being invested into this power packed marketing tool in billions, whose transformation power across industries and brands can be measured in more than one way.
What you need to keep in mind while planning a Social Media Marketing campaign?

– One needs to first understand that social media monitoring tools and social media marketing campaigns for measuring a brand’s social media quotient, is without a doubt one of the most influential marketing tools of all time. At the same time, one needs to understand that any skill, technology or talent needs to be nourished so as to be able to find the most appropriate channel and or medium in which it can be applied for optimum results. So give it time. Do not rush into it.

– Secondly, hurrying the process of measuring a social media marketing campaign or the strategy suggested itself shows both your clients and the team involved in the process that you value nil or very little for the power of this tool. This is never good for both, your clients and the team which is part of this campaign process. If they don’t have the faith or trust for this, neither will your clients.

– Furthermore, planning purely numbers for any social media marketing campaign is one of the gravest mistakes of all time. Understand the term ‘social’. The first thing that needs to be done is connect with your audience and then place yourself amidst the crowd. Don’t try to sell, rather humanize your brand.

Make sure the team or the external agency to whom you have handed the magical task for a much assured most powerful brand building and target reaching experience, have been doing this for a long time and that too across industries. Make sure you get your goals and preferences are traceable and monitored from their end with constantly presenting results of their performances for your brand. Ask them to give references of known brands or companies for whom they have or are performing such activities, speak to their clients if possible, ask the agency to submit their sample tracking formats and make sure you tell them what you would like to track for your business.

Remember, if its only metrics that they are tracking, then they do not understand this business and if its only brand they are monitoring, they have no clue whatsoever. In either case, get out while you can. It is not necessary to invest in millions, start small but for a longer time duration and keep monitoring and tracking with your social media tools, market research and in-depth analysis across platforms.

Plan, monitor, implement and measure your success across channels and platforms regularly for a successful social media marketing campaign.

Finally, remember, it’s a marketing campaign not a sales conversion platform. Use it wisely for the efforts to fall into place and happen and not forced upon.  Connect and humanize your brand.

The success of any social media marketing campaign using social media monitoring tools across any online platform, needs a balance of both, brand and raw metrics. So go ahead and grab the power of this tool.

You can connect, sell and your brand can grow in this powerful space of social connect, so go ahead and reach out the right way!
