Occam's Razor

OCTOBER 10, 2011

I am going to define a way for you to think about measuring social media, and you can't actually easily measure what I am going to recommend. Social media is evolving at an incredible pace. We have IT-minded people engaging in massive data puking (one report with 30 metrics anyone?) Conversation Rate.

I believe that every human with time to spare, and a connection to the web, should be on social media. Do the big gigantic numbers imply that your business should use these social media channels?

A Facebook employee (FBe) gave a talk about measuring ROI/Value of Facebook campaigns. FBe's recommendation was (paraphrasing a 35 min talk): Don't invent new metrics, use online versions of Reach and GRPs to measure success.

For example, they don't account for a smart company's ability to form relationships at scale via mobile, social platforms with past, current, and, most importantly, future customers. Or perhaps you want to sign up for their blog, or follow them on social media or… any of a bunch of other things.
