- Hey! I’m Jill Carlson, Marketing Manager at Argyle Social. We develop social media marketing software for data-driven marketers – and I’m here to tell you a little bit about how and why we measure social media ROI.
- Many of you are staring at laptops, presumably tracking the conference on Twitter. So if you’d like to tweet, find us at @argylesocial and me at @carlsonjill
- My life prior to Argyle was spent in the classroom and at an international education non-profit. And particularly at the non-profit, we loved counting things. The number of books, students served, libraries built, and on and on. But the most challenging part was taking those numbers and connecting them with some sort of tangible outcome – increased leaning, proficiency, fluency -
- My life prior to Argyle was spent in the classroom and at an international education non-profit. And particularly at the non-profit, we loved counting things. The number of books, students served, libraries built, and on and on. But the most challenging part was taking those numbers and connecting them with some sort of tangible outcome – increased leaning, proficiency, fluency -
- And that brings me to today. I told you that little backgorund about myself because as a marketing manager for a social media marketing management company, I’ve found similar challenges. But why is social media marketing so problematic?
- The reality is that social media has some serious issues – why?It happens incredibly quickly…it involves an endless tornado of content.(Insert your own problems here. I’ll wait.)The biggest problems in the outcome-driven model are that social happens at the top of the funnel.
- And not unlike the nonprofit I first told you about, in social media marketing the biggest challenge is connecting inputs to outcomes. But why?
- First – some algebra. And this is a pretty fundamental assumption.While social media is exciting, new, and bursting with unicorns, it is still marketing. Highly specialized marketing.Marketing is all about driving outcomes for your business. That’s it. Leading indicators are nice – but conversions, leads, free trials, sign-ups etc are all that matter.So by the transitive property you learned in 8th grade, social media marketing SHOULD be all about business outcomes. At least clinically speaking.
- But social is really difficult to measure.
- It’s clear that social media works – now the question becomesHow do I improve – Measure what you care aboutImprove individual measurementsUsing data to improve your smmarketing
- *increase font sizeRaw numbers and trends are easy but not very instructive. Compare with something real to make judgments:audience size is the obvious place to start, but follower counts are often a polarizing metric.commentary re: follower counts, importance of quality, ratios as a smart way to normalize and benchmark follower data.

- Let’s say you ran a contest last month. In this contest, you promised one lucky winner a free iPad. All that entrants had to do was like you on Facebook and post your contest to their wall. The contest was a huge success — in one week you doubled your fan count. Huzzah!In the following weeks, you’ve posted several links and a couple of offers. You were hoping to see a doubling of clicks on your links and conversions on your offers, but that didn’t happen. What’s going on?This is a straightforward example showing that raw fan / follower count isn’t very mean- ingful by itself — you also need to evaluate who your fans and followers are.
- Would you market to other channels without knowing your target and actual audience? We didn’t think so.

- quickly explains the data source for the next few slides.
- explain context of the data.suggest the action: use a service to automate posts via RSS. (Note: most RSS posts publish immediately, are not scheduled. Might need to delineate in the next slide.) if possible, schedule homegrown content to post multiple times. consider publishing content from other RSS feeds, can filter by tag or category.
- explain the graph.explain the takeaways:Timeliness premium when it comes to transactions. The further into the future Argyle users scheduled posts, the less influence the posts had on revenue.Suggests a few things:- Marketers aren’t scheduling posts with a strong call-to-action- Followers are less responsive to “planned” content.- Time-sensitive call-to-action is compelling
