“what Is the ROI of Twitter?”
ROI = (Gain - Cost)
Cost
Return on Investment (ROI) is simply a measure of the efficiency of an investment. ROI = (Gain – Cost)/Cost #twitterman
ROI is Not scary! Its Just the Efficiency of investment
Just Multiply ROI by 100 To Get a percentage
Wahooo!!!
Social Media is Free... So it HAS a Fantastic roi, Right?
Social Media might be free to set up but research, planning, strategy, content creation, monitoring & reporting all costs money #twitterman

There’s No Such Thing As Free LUNCHES
SOCIAL MEDIA (and there’s no cookie cutter approach)
There is no such thing as free social media! It’s your men, your money, your minutes. #twitterman
Two reasons to Use
Social Media For business
Social Media is a platform which can be used to successfully achieve a wide range of business objectives. “Show me the money” #twitterman
1. Make Money
2. Save Money
Intangible Outcomes (non-financial)
On the surface, there may be no immediate “ROI” on Twitter. Some outcomes are not financially based. So, ROI is not found here. #twitterman
On The Surface, There may be no
immediate “ROI” on Twitter.
Instead, Build Long Term Benefits
Which Department
Should “Own” Social Media?
No one department should have full authority over your social media, is your accounts team the only one allowed emails? #twitterman
HR
R&D
Customer loyalty?...
Customer Support
Sales No One Dept
Should...
Get Specific
Get specific with your targets. Give numbers of units you want to sell. This gives your team a problem to solve & an end goal. #twitterman

Measurement
"I don't care how many eyeballs we are reaching, unless we are selling stuff.” Can you prove otherwise?.. #twitterman
"I don't care how many eyeballs
we are reaching, unless we are

Each KPI You Measure Should Relate
To Your Business Objectives!
It's worth remembering that non-financial outcomes ARE worth something. But right now, 50,000 new opt-ins do NOT equate to ROI. #twitterman
Non-financial outcomes
are not ROI !!
And They Can be
Indicators for Future ROI
They tell the story and
Fill the gap between
Investment and return
Listen, Measure, Analyse,
Report & act!
Don't measure and report Social Media numbers just because it’s easy. Measure and report if it means something. #twitterman
Listen
Collect information
that is relevant to your
objectives
Measure
Quantify data
Analyse
Extract actionable insight using focus set
forth in objectives
Report
Regularly deliver actionable
insights against objectives to
all stakeholders
Correlation doesn't mean causation! Remember to validate any relationships you find: links must be proved or disproved. #twitterman
Only Measuring Online activity?
Overlay Social Media Outcomes with
Transactions, Sales Data & Other Metrics
Validate or reject
Any Correlations you find

Fan Behaviour
“You need to build trust & relationships before closing a sale.” Non-financial goals are still vitally important to businesses. #twitterman
“You need to build trust &
relationships before closing a sale”
Purchasing from
your website
Fan Behaviour
My research proved that fans who are immersed with brands online were more likely to recommend and purchase from them in future. #twitterman
I’m talking about these non-financial outcomes here
Make people feel good, Immerse them, like they belong...
...And You Increase Likelihood of fans:
Recommending You
to their friends
Visiting Your
Website Longer
Revisiting Your Website
Coldplay
When Coldplay were in the studio recording their new album, they handed their homepage over to their fans’ artwork. #twitterman

Is Twitter making or saving you money? If it’s not doing either, then you’re probably using it wrong. #twitterman
1. Making You
Money
2. Saving you
