Welcome to my Social media ROI. It's the ROI (Return on Investment, return on investment) of social media properly recognized measures for narrowing the great difference between the management of big homework social media marketers.
According to research firm Marketing slow wave 'findings (Marketing Sherpa) 64% of executives are, and to see social media marketing as a likely strategy, and marketing, but is expected to further create a good ROI investment is to enforce a conservative It appeared to be thinking.
Also Jive (Jive) According to the Social Business Index survey (social media, advertising executives on the Executive Opinion Survey), only 27% of respondents believe that social business has proved that occupies an important strategic priority. Social media marketing is required by 47% of respondents but did not respond and ago strategic importance, 19% replied that social media marketing is still needed.
It is such a draw marketers and executives think most parallels the different priority of business operations, as well as being a measure for analysis in terms of both social media and performance due to quite different. The management has the greatest interest in the ROI. In contrast, social media marketers seem interested in the numbers; the relationship improved a number of followers and fans.
The problem is that to create a traditional ROI does not easy. So marketers need to create a framework that can be properly assessing the value of social media from a new perspective.

Sean: Social media marketing is not going to never produce a return on investment (ROI). Marketing is not.
Sonia (long pause) you’re right, I'm drunk right now?
Sean: No, of course, I'm not drunk now, why would you ask him?
Sonia: Well, you have just unlocked the "Wino" badge on Foursquare. Just saying.
Seriously, Shawn, we do not have more return on investment (ROI) in the marketing people cannot say. What is the point of marketing, even if the return on investment?
Sean: OK, I'm there may be a few people money?
Sonia: Yes, if you absolutely have to.
Sean: All right. As you know, I have many stories of companies. The benchmark used to compare all the decisions on some financial metrics of revenue - and ROI are you looking at taking on a marketing myth states.
So organizations can create any reason, the entire process around the idea of measuring the performance indicators that can be a marketing expert to do their work, "justified."
Marketing ROI is no one more important not to cast doubt on its validity
But the truth is will not produce marketing return on investment (ROI).
Sonia: OK, you still sound crazy to me.
Sean: I'm not yet.
Because the ROI is not what you think the marketing does not produce a return on investment (ROI).
The pure definition of ROI is easy to quantify.
Investment / cost (investment income from investment) ROI =
The problem with marketing professionals will not invest in marketing activities.
Investment is the place to buy assets on the balance sheet. And the like an office building or a computer system. It is one that can be sold at a later time if you no longer need.
Marketing costs, and goes to the income statement.
Sonia: I'll ask again understand the accounting stuff, you do not?
Sean: I have your confidence that you can handle it.
The organization (circa 2001) Enron-style accounting that does not use all the marketing activities you are seeking a cost in time, money and resources is not a financial asset ...
This is why a lot of people, but the bigger problem with using the term ROI and marketing? The answer to this question provides insight into how organizations are looking at the role of marketing.
What is the return on investment (ROI) for email?
Calculate the return on investment (ROI) using a fast, e-mail within the organization. Send an e-mail marketing, but you cannot just send emails back and forth, it's done.
Of course, but you know it cost to install the original email systems, how do you measure the benefits obtained from it?
In most cases the way, you know. You probably do not care.
However, it will lead to more harm than the good of the organization without email. The "gain" is implicit in much of the cost of the measure, but business profits.
Unfortunately, this is not the same view shared by the people who use long-term return on investment (ROI) when you talk about marketing.
Marketing is not live on the shelf
Not too far from the truly ridiculous analogy - it's like to walk down to the local dealer, "I'll take a 2012 model with online marketing and social media package".
The people who use the term to refer to marketing ROI as something to buy.
But for smart businesses see marketing as an important part of the business - corporate e-mail system, not least a computer, or rent their offices important essential.
Sonia: Sean, We strictly speaking we do not have a rental office, a virtual enterprise.
Sean: Do not cut the selection.
My point is the wrong term ROI.
The actual measurement of marketing is to compare the net income (revenues minus costs) generated a total return - that is, your profit margin.
Sonia: What should I do to people, so we're going to make a bit of money marketing to them, right?
Sean: So, apparently. Otherwise, why would we do it?
Sonia: OK, that is a relief.
Sean: Marketing is much more meaningful standard for measuring profits than investment (ROI).
However, it is difficult to change the organization's attitude towards marketing in the measurement of ROI. It requires a fundamental change in terms of the role of marketing.
Marketing requires a new culture.
Sonia: Can you talk more about you called "cultural marketing"?
Sean: Jokes aside, it may surprise many readers to the business growth of its multi-million dollar center, our advertising costs are negligible - a rounding error in our P & L.
Sonia: Can I absolutely know what the P & L?
Sean: It would be a good idea. It's just a loss. What we have is how much we spend.
Anyway, it's not that we do not measure marketing (we are) or that we do not spend money towards it.
Sonia: Right.
Sean: But for us, a marketing and business-specific measures for the benefit of our generation costs.
It started our CEO, we have our time, resources, and penetrate our thoughts on how to spend the money.
We can be excellent, but we do not have a more unique meaning.
Most of the brands you like Apple, Southwest Airlines, Nordstrom or thank essentially an important part of the marketing business. It is being baked products and services - not just a line item on the P & L, such as the heating bill.
Sonia: A virtual company. No more heating bills.
Sean: OK, it is a line item, such as a hosting account. Better?
Sonia: Yes, thank you.
Sean: So now how do you go about creating a culture of marketing? It will not be easy but this list will help you get started.
Embracing the new definition
It generates sales revenue. To create marketing revenues.
It is about marketing, including social media marketing effectiveness. A method of marketing and customer communication and easily reduce the time, money, and resources needed to allow them to purchase products and services.
More efficient marketing, you make more money. In other words, you're going to optimize.
If you define marketing as a function of interest within the organization to create a new awareness of the value of marketing.
Customers love the Father
Sonia: Now we're talking my language.
Sean: I think so. Think of customers as potential customers. That is not just true for projects such as Copy blogger media - it is for any business.
The audience was enthralled fun, and I want to be enlightened.
They want a good show; it's your job to deliver it to them.
If you own a business that helps customers find the cost of decision-making, you will probably be disappointed them.
So they found one or two to feel special and provide talented people performer.
Measured using a problem
Frequency is reached, the modern measure of engagement marketing. However, the revenue generated instead of focusing on profit and efficiency instead of contrasts.
Sonia: You lost me again.
Sean: Social media marketing is replacing traditional forms of marketing, so if OK, then save the document. If you reduce the sales cycle - that is, it takes less time to move the customer from a stranger on the payment, it will be displayed. If you have to highlight the query.
The sales cycle is more efficient marketing companies to measure how to make more money.
Embracing training
Discipline is the secret ingredient of success. Training institutions can easily find work and focus on improving it. They do not get distracted, "shiny new"
Sonia: It's obviously just e-books to readers, so "organization" means not only a large company can be a person with a solo blog sale.
Sean: Absolutely.
Now, training organizations include the change. But their approach to reflect changes in the rules of what works for them.
They are learning assessment and adaptation, modification, and testing.
In other words, this means that you focus on improvements to challenge yourself to make better known by the one test new marketing ideas.
Small tweaks can make a big difference
Sometimes a small change can be generated as a result. To find a way to measure the effect of making a small change to the existing process.
Grand efforts have considerable time and resources. Savvy organizations look for ways to adjust how the existing process benefits the customer.
Effective marketing does not require millions of dollars in advertising spending.
Sonia: Our people do not use the expression, more information. "The ad spends"
Sean: The point is, even though it meant. There based on good marketing can come in small, subtle changes to customer input to improve measures for the phenomenon.
Sonia: Are you saying we should be careful that you test how customers then can we improve?
Sean: Yes, that's what you mean.
Fanatics and fools filters
Sonia: Ha, it should be good.
Sean: Well, I'll do my best.
So all of us, especially social media, and know that everyone has an opinion. Some of them are good and some foolish.
Marketing, these opinions can distract takes care of time that can be applied to a profitable endeavor.
This is not to say that this opinion is not included. However, the filter process can help build this information is more important than their opinions.
If possible reactions. When it is not, it ignores. To maintain the level of training for marketing success, you can give more help than the sea off filtration opinion requested ideas.
Sonia: In other words, you can listen to the wrong voices tank your business.
Shaun: Right.
Sonia: I feel like this is a simple method that can be said so.
Sean: That's your job. OK, moving on.
Creating a measurement structure
Sonia: OK, I want to briefly talk about the marketing structure that kidnapped them and we can actually measure the success of social media marketing in Copy blogger Media.
Sean: Sounds like a good idea.
Sonia: It is a big mistake to think that the most that we can see, and people are able to measure the results of social media companies will try to complete the entire transaction on social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter.
Sean: Digital peasants.
Sonia: Right. The Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn, and Google+ did not intend to virtual stores. It's not what they build, not appropriate.
Instead, you will eventually become a customer used as an outpost to start a conversation with people.
Sean: You maximize the reach and are used to build a case for increasing the share of wallet.
Sonia: You make your own fun using them and show you're a good egg people.
Sean: That's what I said.
Sonia: Oh. Anyway, the same way that many businesses are using social outpost of the exhibition booth - badly. They collected a lot of follow-ups clumsily, or so-called "lead" does not at all follow-up. No more wondering why they return.
Sean: Do not return the improved profit.
Sonia: Whatever. They cannot make money. Which is a bad thing?
Use a landing page focuses attention on social media
When someone is ready to learn more about your business, get back in control assets - bring it back to your website.
More specifically, the landing page you send a well-formed-optimized to achieve the desired results in that situation.
All measurements can be generated from the landing page. So many people can know exactly how to download the specific version of the white paper from the subscription, or linked to the mailing list on Facebook.
The landing page is the key to measure the effectiveness of what social media. You are a problem because social media marketing strategy is not considered a landing page if you are having trouble determining whether the effect.
Sean: Are you going to them now for the premises?
Sonia: I did not plan it.
Sean: But the premise is this project all about creating a strategic landing page to get the results you want.
Sonia: Well that's true. If you want to build a better landing page, Yes, OK, you have to
Go check out the premise.
Do you happy now?
Sean: Yeah, yeah I am. thank you.
Burn your marketing on business
OK, I want to keep moving. I can see people make mistakes that are scattered around when you need to think about marketing like some kind of magic fairy dust.
Marketing is no less important than the person who provides services or products offered by you.
Sonia: That is, the user is not a kind of business superposed condensation. It is a business.
Shaun: Right. In the outgoing invoices, answered the phone on how to meet the needs of customers on the way - thank you for all that marketing to the organization.
Sonia: OK, What do you want people to take away?
Sean: You can create a well-optimized application of those strategies and other premises, an effective landing page?
Sonia: right side of the other.
Sean: It really:
Forget the return on investment (ROI) focused on profit
Or marketing - It is not possible to think about the ROI of social media marketing, I think they put some money in marketing business owners hope a kind of slot machines and more money coming.
Instead, you will save money and think about how you can earn big money in social media marketing using social media to increase revenue.
So if you ask "what is ROI" of your marketing efforts, honest answers and the real measure of "zero" return mean in the profits generated by the culture of your marketing.
