10. Measure the impact of your Social engagement
Engagement is great for an ego boost, but it’s
also important to monitor how that
engagement impacts your business
How many messages
are we responding to
on social media?
Are we responding
(and resolving issues)
faster?
Is it reducing the
number of support
requests we receive
through other
channels, like email?
The impact social
media engagement
has on your brand is
more difficult to
measure because
someone’s journey
with your brand is
nonlinear and
attribution is murky.
Brand perceptions
are built up over time
and through multiple
channels.
