- Social Media is NOT freeBecause things in the real world cost moneyIt takes:PeopleTechnologyTime AND BUDGET!All of which are limited
- You have real & fixed costs:Head countMarketing , PR, Advertising sales Customer Service – Call centresManufacturing, Production, ITBUT many of these resources are also those that generate your business – everybody works in marketing & customer service these daysSo the budget has to be sliced up.The pie has to go around which means in all probability you have to take budget from somewhere else.Business managers will ask “WHY?” – so it has to be justified
- So Why Social Media?Reduce the cost of customer service = Saving money. Maximising the efficiency of our limited resourcesIncrease the value of a customer = Bigger profits

You do something. It causes a re-action. There is a non-financial impact. It creates a financial impact
- Look at what’s gone beforeSet baseline measurementsIrrespective of whether they used social media or notThe key here is to establish the point at which you want to measure the effect and change that social media is havingMonitoring and measuring to provide base data is key. Business performance, Analytics, Market research etc.What is our growth rateHow much revenue did we makeWhat is our profitHow much did it cost us
- Measure transaction data - FREQUENCY, REACH, YIELDHow often customers transact. (transactions per month)How many customers you are reaching. (net new customers)How much did they spend. (£ per transaction)Revenue per customerCost per customerBe specific.So now to figure out the difference Social Media is having
