  13. Social Media Patterns A synthesis of our experiences for you

  14. Overview 6+ month tracking of data on 14 accounts on the following Social media sites: Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Blogger

  15. Items viewed Twitter Following – follower ratio Followers over time (looking for spikes in counts) Content pieces or actions that could account for follower spikes Facebook Friend total Frequency of wall postings (combined) LinkedIn Group development Content/membership ratio Blogger High traffic blogs – frequency of posts Content review

  16. Analysis Most large following nodes are topic-centric Promotion of site heavily influenced by traditional media Content is less of a viewership driver than marketing

  17. Analysis /2 Authors typically interact with < 50 members Authors have frequent interaction with 2-6 members Avg weekly posting – 6 new posts + 10 comments Initially posting counts are high while viewership is low. As viewership increases net new postings drop significantly Comments increase

  18. What works for us … Create topic-centric themes Promote, promote, promote the community site(s) Keep the conversation flowing – but don’t over-post Engage any members who interact with us • Engage for us means ….

  24. Sage CRM Solutions – Social Media Tips Six tips, based on our work so far

  25. Assumptions • The marketing basics are already in place; • A defined marketing plan with clear, measurable objectives • Web analytics is set up (and used) • Search (natural and paid) activity running • A content plan for your website exists • The resource (people) is available to sustain any Social Media activity 26

  26. Social media Tip 1 Understand the activity on your own site before you do anything else. Define where you are and then you will then be able to benchmark the impact of any Social Media activity. 27

  27. Social media Tip 2 No one uses all offline media channels. Don’t feel you need to use every Social Media channel either. Be selective. Choose the channel that already features conversations about your company or your area. 28

  28. Social media Tip 3 Are you using these channels personally? If you aren’t familiar with them now is the time. Set up a Facebook profile, a Twitter feed or a LinkedIn profile. Get comfortable with it yourself. Then set up the official channels for your business. 29

  29. Social media Tip 4 Set up a series of basic guidelines for your people. What can they say, where, when and how? Empower your people to be able to react quickly without layers of ‘approval’ 30

  30. Social media Tip 5 As your level of engagement increases so will the level of resource required. At the highest levels it needs the support of the entire business. Define your level of engagement according to your ability to support it. 31

  31. Social media Tip 6 Are you adding value? Are you helping answer users queries or problems, pointing them to the right solution or providing insights they can use? If not you are not having a conversation – you are advertising 32
