Financial Institutions are looking at Social Media as another channel to get their story out to customers. Traditional marketing and web metrics may not be appropriate to measure the impact or success of a Social Media strategy. In this session we will discuss how companies are measuring Social Media, and which of those approaches can be adopted, by Financial Institutions in particular, to define the effectiveness of their approach. We will also discuss how some of these metrics can be used to measure ROI or monetization of Social Media itself.

13. Some Constraints
1. Privacy: The Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA) requires financial institutions to protect the
personal information of its customers. When posting or communicating over social media,
financial institutions and their employees must remember that the information being
published can be accessed by the public at large and personal information cannot be
disclosed.
2. Informal Posts May Be “Advertising”: The FDIC broadly defines the term advertisement
as “a commercial message, in any medium, that is designed to attract public attention or
patronage to a product of business.” This definition is broad and could include informal
communications in the form of tweets, blogs and comments.
3. Required Advertising Statements: If a financial institution is engaging in advertising over
social media, there are a variety of technical requirements that must be followed. For
example, the FDIC requires an official advertising statement and/or the FDIC logo be
used. 12 CFR § 328.3. Another example requires banks advertising loans for dwellings to
include the “equal housing lender logotype” and/or indicate that the bank makes such loans
without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap, or familial status. 12
CFR § 328.3. 13

community-centered banks continues to rise

by 2.2 percentage points to an average of 10.3 percent in 2012
19 percent of customers indicate promotions were the reason they selected
their new bank and 32% will stay for the next year
Sticky-ness:
46 to 51 percent of customers who chose the new bank because of either good
service experience or positive recommendations say they definitely will not
leave within the next year

17. What’s the conversation on Bank Facebook pages?

34. The ROI Challenge
In the absence of eCommerce, how do you track back to sales? Very difficult. But
you can build a model to see how hard your media is working for you.
The POEM model of media efficiency – all paid & owned media must generate
earned media to offset the cost of media.
Step Tactic Notes
1 – Owned Track You can’t measure anything if it’s not
Media impressions trackable. All digital touchpoints
must be properly tagged and tracked
before any campaign begins. CPW
and agencies should track.
2 – Paid Media Guaranteed # of Establish a Cost Per Impression (or
impressions Action, etc.) for your Paid Media.
Media company should keep track of
impressions.
3 – Earned Calculate # of Track via Radian 6 or other tool the
Media impressions # of earned media impressions
during the run of paid media. 34

35. POEM model of media efficiency
Calculating costs, using an example of a $1MM digital media budget. You
divide the guaranteed # of impressions by the total. Only paid media will give
you a guaranteed impressions.
# of
POEM KPI Impressions Notes
(Total #)
Paid Media CPI 1MM What the media buy
(1MM) guaranteed. Effective CPI
is $1
Owned Pageviews, 100K People who visited website
etc. (1.1MM) as a result of media.
Effective CPI is $0.90
Earned Comments, 400K People who generated
likes, posts, (1.5MM) stories in social media as a
mentions, result of campaign.
etc. Effective CPI is $0.67
Takeaway
Social Media can be efficient in driving the cost of paid media down if it 35
generates a significant amount of earned (positive) media.
