I’ve been running my own business, and I can feel the difference between the time I didn’t use <a href="https://www.melbourneseopro.com.au/social-media/" rel="nofollow">social media marketing</a> and now that I’m doing my own social media campaign for my business. Social media is not just about growing a business, but also expressing the voice of your business to your audience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. This is a really inspiring article. I would love to see more updates from you.Nina Athenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942457078940283392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36421318.post-82829883748797530242008-09-05T21:41:00.000+10:002008-09-05T21:41:00.000+10:00Re Metrics there is no one-solution fits all but y...Re Metrics there is no one-solution fits all but you can look at:<BR/><BR/>Qualitative: the style of 'engagement' ie how engaged are those that are participating, the themes that come out of the engagement, the discussion around the brand etc..and how important those commenting are (re influencers)- also the steps they took(conversion)re sales, leaving an email address on a site, subscribing etc...<BR/><BR/>Quantitative: There are countless simple measures such as no of blog posts, no of discussion threads etc that are also very useful.<BR/><BR/>As mentioned I dont think that anyone has cracked measurement perfectly yet (we are working on it!) <BR/><BR/>Re measurement thought-leaders - KD Paine is one to watch in this space as she adapts her content analysis/measurement skills to the social media landscape.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helpsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36421318.post-80877202290919487312008-09-05T19:21:00.000+10:002008-09-05T19:21:00.000+10:00I'd be extremely tempted to do a pre-conference so...I'd be extremely tempted to do a pre-conference social media campaign for social media as a practical demonstration...but seriously, I think Paul summed it up.<BR/><BR/>I like your framework...just wondering though, you didn't include a feedback loop - is it fair to say that the four functions are discrete steps or is market intelligence something that continues through the whole process?

I am still looking for a good resource for a compilation of the best metrics for social media measurement.

I would also add a quick poll of the audience first to see who is actually already engaging (5%, 10%)in social media marketing - then quickly you can target the level of detail/complexity you need in the presentation. <BR/><BR/>I would emphasise that while in Aus social media marketing is relatively new in US/UK its more mature and we can learn from some of their mistakes (giving them comfort) In addition talk about the quant and qual metrics that you can align to the 2.0 marketing - ROI will always be important.<BR/><BR/>Finally I would walk them through a 'Is your brand/co. ready for Social Media Marketing' checklist? to emphasise its not a campaign but a philosophy of engaging 'honestly; with your customers. It will make them look closely at their company and brand culture.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36421318.post-58777398887451137442008-09-04T17:42:00.000+10:002008-09-04T17:42:00.000+10:00Hey Paul, Thanks for the great feedback that is a ...Hey Paul, Thanks for the great feedback that is a really good outline for the presentation, I think the number one thing that I often do is get to ahead of myself and speak about it in too specific issues because I am trying to prove my knowledge. <BR/><BR/>I will keep it quite general because I am also the first speaker of the Conference so I will have to cover the basics. I really like the idea of discussing ‘how are they going to explain it’, that is a really interesting idea and worth bringing up.<BR/><BR/>Paul, In terms of the AIMIA conference what stood out in your head as the strongest point I made?
