Editor's Notes
- #2 Good morning everyone. Few marketing conferences ever start with a upbeat and interesting conversation around numbers. Its just not generally what a group of communications professionals and marketers get excited about. Its usually more engaging to talk about amazing content, and new tools. Me included. But I hope this morning that I can help you leave this conference and update your status to “in a relationship” with social media metrics.
- #3 It seems we are all just morphing into our social avatars. I found myself recently referring to colleagues by their Twitter handles, much to the amusement of clients when I refer to “Claire Sauce” on an phone call. I’ve worked in digital marketing for over 12 years, both on the agency side and in-house, where I built the digital marketing department for a major NGO in New York and brought them onto social. Love traveling. 37 flights last year, and hardly into the same airport more than once.
- #4 You are probably detecting a bit of an accent. I thought I would share my background with you via maps I know you probably see a lot. I grew up under the flight plan for the transatlantic flights, so it was only a matter of time.
- #5 My background is part technology, part communications. In a constant pendulum swing from one to the other, but my sweet spot is in the middle. A little like social media measurement.
- #6 I know many of you are the social media evangelists for your airports. Like you, I want to help organizations use social media effectively, appropriately and to the maximum of its abilities. And effective measurement can help rally support.
- #7 The business worlds we operate in, especially as it relates to communications with customers, can be based on a lot of opinion. I want to show you how data can help guide you and confidently. Confidence in: When we need to guide strategy When we want to know if we are being successful When we want to know results Power of data to win arguments Fact vs Opinion
- #8 I will bring you through Spend some time looking at tools live… Ask questions as we go, and I will leave some time at the end also.
- #9 Source: Beth Kantar So we are all somewhere along this path. And depending on what I am working on, I can be in any stage. Lets see if you recognize any of the following, and try and place yourself.
- #10 But Social Media is an Art, not a Science, it can’t be measured! A lot of people involved in Social Media are Marketers or Communications Pros, tend to lean more on the creative side. We are in a people business. “The value of a Cat Video to our brand cannot be measured.” But social is a blend and a lot can be measured.
- #11 But I’ve already setup all these channels and invested all this effort into content and activity, what if I can’t prove its return?
- #12 I know I should be measuring our social media, but not sure what or how.
- #13 Hey, check out these cool metrics! We start to see numbers … Notifications when we log in. Communities are getting bigger. We got retweeted. The excitement builds.
- #14 Measurement and the reporting of how activities on social helping deliver business objectives help: Add more team members Get more budget and resources for content Get more budget for paid advertising support Get more budget and resources for tools
- #15 And what do I mean by that? (next slide)
- #16 Source: EMarketeer Have to measure the creation of value, not the rate of activity. What does the creation of value look like for the programs you run at your airports? What is the activity you are currently monitoring? Source: Emarketeers
- #17 Activity becomes connected to value - via establishing objectives Usage of social media tools is never an objective in itself – don’t measure the usage of tools
- #18 The key to Measurement Success with your social programs is understanding it’s a cycle, not a path.
- #19 What are you trying to improve? Customer experience reports? Foot traffic? Length of time spent at airports? Total spent by customers? Relationships with partners? Run contest or promotions. Ramp up community management activities. Start responding to every customer. Drive checkins. Work with partners for cross-promotions. Are the links being tracked? Is there a unique hashtag? Do the graphic collateral mention the handles or hashtags? Review the analytics provided. Comb through the comments and mentions manually. Spots and take note of trends. Use tools. Use key learning and any insights derived about your customers attitudes, knowledge or behavior to drive future programs.
- #20 Focus on what is important to you and your customers. Good for competitive analysis, but a secondary role.
- #21 Source: Simple Measured Two calculations to help you with benchmarking. Either for yourself or against competitors.
- #22 Making Your Goals Measurable We know what we want to achieve on the business side, more people in the doors, how do we make goals that we can track?
- #24 Engagement: Use this rate to choose which posts to boost with ad spend
