Most museums are involved in social media as a part of outreach. But, in this constantly shifting field—and in museums with a small budget—how do you sustain a social media program, and how do you know if the precious staff resources you are investing in your outreach are really working? This session will investigate how "listening" and learning from one's audience on social media, coupled with a few free tools, can provide you with the right information to implement a social media strategy. Measuring your museum’s social media successes will also be discussed through the deployment of simple, free tools, such as Google Analytics and Excel.
