- 2. Why Social Media Matters: • An average of 900,000 blog posts a day • There are over 3.4 million English- language Wikipedia entries today • 4-6 Million tweets an hour on average • Over 30 Billion pieces of content (videos, notes, status updates, pages) shared on Facebook in a month • Google has over 1 trillion unique urls in its index
- 3. Not Monitoring Social Media? What are you missing? • Unfiltered feedback from potential customers via product information and reviews • Untapped communities who are passionate on your subject or service • Current and potential brand evangelists • Vital information about how your brand is perceived • Competitive business intelligence
- 4. Help Your Business With:
- 5. B2C Online: Why it Works • Adult consumers turning more and more to the Internet as a primary source of information about products and services they are interested in • Culture encourages and fosters sharing of opinions and points of view • Barrier-less communities mean more people can connect around shared passions • Consumers have come to expect engagement from brands and brand agents
- 6. B2B: A Different Set of Challenges • Business privacy issues may prevent potential customers from identifying themselves. • Specialized industries often mean communities are smaller and more difficult to discover. • Regulatory issues can make brands hesitant to engage consumers directly. • The discussions around B2B concerns are often anchored in language that is difficult to sift through.
- 7. Solving the Challenge Requires: • A monitoring solution that can measure the relevancy and influence of a topic, not just an author • Specialization in understanding the language of B2B, and how to sift content from noise • Control over how much or how little information you receive in order to tailor resource-aware strategies • Charting and visualization tools that render disparate data sets into actionable intelligence
- 8. What Data Matters? • Semantic Results: Are you and customers speaking the same language? • Sentiment: Is the language around your topic positive, negative, or neutral? Does that sentiment come from you? Or from your audience? • Volume/Frequency • Where does it live?
