Translating the Data into Dollars - Measuring
Social Media Success

13
What is ROI in Social Media?

•“ROI is a business metric, not a social media metric,” Olivier Blanchard


•To get the full picture you must look both at media and business metrics

14
Establish a data framework

Establish the “Before”:


•The baseline or benchmarks that you want to beat
•The period over which your measurements will take place
•The natural change rate over time prior to campaign

Measure the “Before” and “After” (examples):


•Frequency - transactions per month, visits per month etc
•New customer reach
•Dollars per transaction

15
Evaluate results
Compare the “Before” and “After”:
• Overlay time graphs and look for patterns
