Making the Most of Social Media Analytics - 0 views
-
The impact of social media is harder to measure than, say, the effectiveness of banner ads, because social media are often used to build brand loyalty. A person may see an ad or promoted social media message but choose not to click through, then search for the product later, and finally make a purchase on a third, fourth or fifth visit to the company's website. While social media didn't have a direct hand in the click-through and sale, it did have a hand in how the brand made a conversion.
-
Too many brands - GM included - rely on likes (which can be artificially inflated) and direct click-throughs (which don't always result in sales).
