• Social Media Measurement that Actually Helps Decision Making

  by Eric Pratum

  Hugging your followers, loving on your fans, and otherwise thinking the new media world is all unicorns and rainbows is really tough when revenue and branding (often in that order) are the only two large goals of marketing. The world of social media is full of data and amazing toolsets. In this presentation, we will discuss good and bad social media measurement, toolsets for collecting useful social media data, and how to use that data to move your programs forward and ensure that you’re not throwing money into the pit that is social media guru-dom.

  Key Points
  1. The "next level" of social media isn't being social for social's sake. It's getting people to your website, driving revenue, getting email sign ups, and more.
  2. Customers, clients, and donors can smell desperation a mile away. Make your content genuinely useful and genuinely valuable.
  3. There a lots of free social media and web analytics toolsets you've never heard of that you could be using and plenty you have heard of that could be helping you do more.
