nature, as a result, it can
not answer tactical questions
and is not scalable.

- 8. Not Scalable – Too Manual
A lot of work is required to
turn real time exploratory
data from Social Media into
actionable insights
(although LBS is a little
easier since it has context).

- 9. Insightful vs. Actionable
• Traditional “exploratory” SMM Insights and
outputs don’t match business goals or outcomes
– Share of voice
– Sentiment
– Trends
– Topics and Themes
• And … they don’t match critical needs of retail
– What customer experiences need attention?
– Where are my most critical issues?
– Which of my locations are leaders & laggards?

- 10. Geography & Location
Existing SMM providers treat location as
country, region, or city and usually fail to
capture LBS data from Facebook, Foursquare and
other geo-local data.
This gap makes existing SMM providers next to
useless for retailers.

- 11. Retail is about distinct location
Your customers are at your storefronts!

They mess up here A LOT! If I wasn’t in a rush
nor a coffee addict I would go somewhere else!

- 14. Platforms lack segmentation capabilities
Most existing SMM (and
some LBS) platforms can
not segment and bucket
the data in a customized,
useful way, so it can
become insightful.

- 15. Correspondence between Online chatter vs.
Offline Word of Mouth is Industry dependent
While SMM platforms
typically have poor,
uncontrolled sampling bias,
geo-location and LBS
platforms such as Venuelabs
don’t suffer, as much, from
the same issues (poor
sampling) because their
data is generated at the
storefront, via check-ins and
direct store references, and
is therefore, more relevant
and authentic.

- 16. No established, universally acceptable
standards for conducting online social listening
Almost no data
consistency
or interoperability
between platforms and a
clear sense that under
the hood, all of the them
are different.
As a result, there are no
standards in how to go
about, clean and
structure social data,
which makes it harder to
take seriously.

• Actual Customer Insights
• Actionable Intelligence
• Location specific

better than SMM for Retailers
• 80% content

- 21. Advice: Start thinking of LBS Tactically
• What Measures in your stores do you want to
track (that can be integrated into LBS)?
• What Decisions would you make differently if
the one of the retails measures was surprisingly
high or low?
• What is the threshold of the measure? In other
words, at what point, if the value was exceeded
or dipped, would an alternative action take place?
