Less Hard Metrics • Value of the “Fans” and Followers you have –what’s their influence and reach? • Conversion rate of “fans” to customers? • Volume of social media mentions of your company/brand, by whom, what their reach is • How your social media audience compares to the demographics of your offline customers • Feedback / comments / engagement

Facebook Page Metrics: ‘Facebook Insights’ • Fan interaction per day, per post • Discussion page posts • Impressions and actions per post • Click-through rate, • Total # of fans, unsubscriptions / resubscriptions • New fans • Demographics (age, gender) • Media consumption • Also tracks off-Facebook sites registered with FB domain service for “Likes”

  11. Analyze, Assess, Adjust • It's difficult, if not impossible, to derive a hard ROI figure for social media efforts • Even if you’re “effective” in hitting metrics, the results may not be what you expect • Balance hard metrics against soft metrics, quantitative against qualitative • Baseline core business metrics and measure those as well – customer retention, organizational efficiency
