Exploit the richness of data available to you

Hypotheses
Common Objectives

Definition / Hypothesis

Examples

Potential Metrics

a

Build relationships with people

TNS type surveys, correlation to sales over time, behaviour before and after
By talking to people directly and regularly we can develop more Multiple, Heinz, Marmite?, Lynx Rise, O2 'liking', when and where fan joined from, messaging controls, matching to a
genuine / human / real relationships.
(TOV of Twitter)
transactional database. Vol and val of new customers (acquisition). Increased
value of existing customers

b

Social Commerce

Selling products & services through social interfaces is less
effective than embedding social aspects into existing sales
platforms

c

Improvement through listening (esp. real time)

By listening to what's going on there's an opportunity to change
things for the better e.g. product, customer service, spotting
Multiple, Dell, Barclays
problems much quicker than previously possible.

Cost of change vs. increased margin / revenue, cost saving from changing
sooner due to lower latency of information,

d

Social products

Ticketmaster, Asos, KLM, Heinz,
By making your product or buying process social, you can make
Marmite?, Orange, Air BnB, giffgaff,
an enhanced and preferable customer experience.
spotify, uniqlo

Greater customer satisfaction ratings, NPS, increased basket size, increased
repeat purchase

e

Telling a deeper, richer story / experience (brand build)

Social provides the opportunity to tell a much deeper and richer
Red Bull, Nike, Coke
story than traditional media

Pre & post perception / behavioural research. Sales change YOY or pre,
during & post.

f

Social Diffusion (earned / WOM)

Social can act as an amplifier (scale & speed) to normal
conversation about what brands do

Amex? Coke? Asos, Doc Martins

Media metrics of reach etc. Sales change in period YOY or pre, during & post,
speed with which people reached

g

Social influence

By seeing what your friends like or buy (popularity) and what
'experts' like and buy (advocacy), I'm more likely to buy

Asos, Levis, Lovefilm/Netflix, Adidas
connecting people to experts, Bare
Escentuals

Increase in conversion from traffic that has the social experience (short &
long term)

h

Customer service

By using social channels you can serve more customers, more
quickly and satisfy them more completely

BT, SW Trains, O2 during outage, Virgin
Atlantic ash cloud, Oyster & tube line
Twitter, Giff gaff

Customer retention rates, cost to solve service issue vs. telephone / email.
Efficiency of customer service staff measures. Sentiment measures

i

Internal Process / Culture

By making working processes more open and collaborative
businesses can better serve its customers

Yammer case studies?, Virgin America

Cost reduction, profit per head, quality of output (?)

Oyster on Social
Chris MacLeod, Marketing Director

Transport for London
October 15, 2013
Objectives
• Why Social ?

– When and where customers want to engage
– Fast and efficient, cost saving potential
• Customer appetite, especially for Oyster
• Customer insight and feedback
• Addresses corporate objectives:
– Real time info
– Easy to do business with
– TfL cares, what we stand for
Current status
• TfL has 24 Twitter feeds, 2 Facebook pages
• 637,400 followers on Twitter
– 430,000 of these are following real-time
information

• 190,000 fans on Facebook
• These can all be seen as permissions to
interact and engage with the customer
How we manage it
• Twitter flexibly delivered across TfL
– Oyster via Customer Contact Centre
• 24/7 hours of operation, team of 10 in 3 shifts
• Number of mentions / queries each day is on
the increase
• Response times on average 2 – 3 minutes
• Executive version of Hootsuite
Customer Service Satisfaction
• How we measure it for the different channels
– Twitter – online survey to followers
– Phone – mystery shopping
– Email / Letter – mystery shopping
• How we measure the effectiveness
– Time
– Cost
– Satisfaction
– Impact on reputation
Customer Research
• 74% Satisfaction with real-time information feeds
(Tube, bus and traffic)
• A strong result, given feeds often passing on ‘bad
news’
• Satisfaction with Oyster feed was 71% (September
2013)
- similar to total for real-time information feeds

• Effect on TfL’s reputation also largely positive and
in line with the pattern for satisfaction scores

Summary

•
•

•
•

We measure social media at three levels: campaign, channel & business.
Investigate the impact of social on KPIs beyond campaign engagement but
don‘t limit yourself to the numbers. Social media insight is a qualitative skill
so think beyond KPIs. You don‘t drive action from a dashboard.
Think carefully about where social sits in your organisation. The best place
for deriving insight might not be in the same place as great customer
service.
As social becomes ubiquitous in customers‘ worlds, so too must it pervade
consumer insight. A joined up story is more effective at driving measurable
action than a siloed one.
