More on Measuring Social Media
If you missed 'Measuring Social Media' in February, or felt questions were left unanswered, you can quiz our panellists and discuss the issues with them from 3.30-4.30pm in the Web 2.0 Experience theatre (after which we'll decamp to a nearby hostelry from 5pm onwards for an informal meet-up and wind-down over some drinks. The Prince of Wales Pub, 14 Lillie Road, London, England SW6 1TU to be precise!).
So what constitutes success in social media? Traffic? Return on Investment? Accumulating social capital?
2007 was the year of social media. Thanks to social networks like Facebook and Bebo, real-time social web tools like Twitter and snowballing use of photosharing and other collaborative tools, the landscape changed dramatically.
But as marketers’ attention is drawn towards social media, the questions about its effectiveness will inevitably follow.
Measurements of customer satisfaction, engagement, loyalty and participation seem more appropriate for online social activities, but how can these areas of goodwill be measured? And more importantly, how do these relate to the success of a campaign or a community?
