Suivre et mesurer le succès des médias sociaux - AOD Marketing. Lorsque John Wanamaker a déclaré: «La moitié de ma publicité est gaspillée, mais je ne sais pas quelle moitié», il aurait pu tout aussi bien parler des médias sociaux. Les médias sociaux offrent aux marques la possibilité d’engager les consommateurs à un niveau complètement différent, et permet aussi aux consommateurs de s’engager avec les marques. Il n’est pas toujours facile, cependant, de mesurer et de suivre comment cet engagement affecte les ventes au bout du compte.

Non seulement cela vous aidera à mieux choisir les canaux appropriés, mais il vous aidera aussi à établir des indicateurs de performance mesurables.

Here’s a decent rule of thumb: in social media planning, never put yourself in the position of judging success or failure based on metrics endogenous to the social media platform you’re using. In other words: the success of a Twitter campaign or presence shouldn’t be measured in new followers or retweets, and the success of a Facebook presence shouldn’t be measured in new fans or shares.

He described the answers he receives (the same we’ve all experienced) when he tells someone he’s in PR…and how irritating it is that people assume we lie or spin for a living. And now, a new sitcom on NBC – Free Agents – isn’t helping our image (even though Molli Megasko tells me it’s hilarious).
