SOCIAL MEDIA FOR 
CONSUMER INSIGHTS
SOCIAL MEDIA RESEARCH 
Qualitative 
 Social Media Listening- essentially just listen to what 
users say in cyberspace. 
 i.e. – compile a list of comments on a Facebook page or 
company blog 
Quantitative 
 Social Media Monitoring- systematically searches key 
words it finds in social spaces.

DO WE MONITOR TOO MUCH? 
Cookies – been around for a long time, obsolete? 
Users have picked up on how to block trackers. 
New alternative – “canvas fingerprinting” 
 Doesn’t require a tracker to be placed within a 
user’s browser. 
 Is this ethical?
COULD TWITTER REPLACE COOKIES? 
 With consumers moving from 
their desktop, to tablets, to 
smar tphones (and now 
smar twatches) several times a 
day, the industry can no longer 
rely on browser tracking to 
serve relevant ads. 
 Users that maintain a login on 
Twi t ter’ s mo b i le a p p ra re l y l o g 
out and users are usually 
signed- in on multiple devices at 
once. 
 It is actual ly made purposely 
hard for Twitter users to find the 
“ s i g n o u t ” b a r o n t h e mo b i l e 
Twitter app.
Behavior Tracking 
 With people signed on 
multiple devices, Twitter is 
able to track your behavior 
and knows if you are 
interacting with brands on 
its platform in many 
dif ferent places. 
 This web of activity allows 
the social media platform 
to put together a profile of 
your consumer preferences 
and behavior. 
 A map is built around your 
browsing activity & it helps 
them be extremely targeted 
in their ad delivery.
TWITTER AND TELEVISION 
 One way that Twitter 
targets consumers is 
their unique relationship 
with television as a result 
of the hashtag. 
 If you’re tweeting about a 
show or a spor ting event 
on television, Twitter has 
a strong indication that 
you were shown 
par ticular ads and then 
can target you again with 
that content on the 
platform itself.

 Recent ly, Twi t ter int roduced i ts Buy 
Now but ton, a feature that al lows 
user s to make purchases di rect ly

were chosen to deploy the feature, 
including count r y star Brad Paisley, 
the rapper s Eminem and Wi z 
Khal i fa, and the death metal band 
Megadeth 
 Twi t ter ensured that al l payment 
and shipping informat ion is ful ly 
encr ypted and wi l l not be shared 
wi th the sel ler wi thout consumer 
permission.

communications.
