For many brands using social media, you want to prove one thing: that your campaigns are delivering ROI.
Whether it’s the number of Facebook likes, Twitter followers, the number of retweets, clicks to your landing pages, email registrations or product downloads, there are a multitude of metrics that you can track to prove the value of social media in your purchase process.
Social media may be an ‘assist interaction’, which succeeds in driving awareness and getting your business out to the masses. It may be the final click that a user goes from to your website before deciding to purchase.
The question is: do you know the role social media plays for your business?
Do you know how much traffic LinkedIn, Twitter and Pinterest drive to your site? Do you know which post performed the best, to allow optimising your content moving forward?
If the answer to any of the above is no, Lucy Wren, Head of Social Media at Barclaycard, will be in the hot seat at the Social Speakeasy event in London on 20 March to answer all of your social media measurement queries!
