Unraveling the Mysteryof Social Marketing ROI Paul Gillin, author The New Influencers Secrets of Social Media Marketing Social Marketing to the Business Customer
Is it Return on Investment or Risk of Inaction?
It’s Simple, Knucklehead (GAIN FROM INVESTMENT - COST OF INVESTMENT) ROI =  COST OF INVESTMENT
Types Of Financial Impact B. Costs Avoided A. Revenue Anything that leads to A or B, But only if you can directly equate its value to an action
These are NOT ROI Press coverage Impressions Website Visitors Video views Click-throughs Retweets Coupons distributed Store visits “Buzz” Friends Blog comments Employment applications FaceBook friends Twitter followers But if you can quantify their financial impact, you have ROI!
What You Need Historical Metrics Excellent CRM Tools and Practices Clearly Understood and Applied Web Analytics
Basic Business Metrics Lifetime Value of a Customer = (Longevity *Revenue) * Margin 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞=𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐬/𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬   Value of a Lead/Visitor =   Visitor  * Conversion Rate * Lifetime Value
Okay, Let’s Make it Real Typical customer Moe spends $10,000/year with you Moe is with you for five years Your profit margin is 10% Lifetime value of Moe is ($10,000 * 5) * .1 = $5,000
CRM Essentials Must be used by everyone who touches the customer Must document online, offline and landline communications Must span the engagement lifecycle Must enable segmentation and grouping
Web Analytics Must track individual visitors Must document paths to desired destinations Must identify referring sources You must use them
Applying ROI: Value of a Visitor
Value of a Blog
Value of a Tweet ,[object Object]
Generating 1,000 visitors to your website…
2% of whom become leads…
5% of whom become customers.Therefore, the value of a tweet is:  (1,000 * .02 * .05 * 5000)/50 = $100
