What Social Media Analytics Can't Tell You (SXSW Interactive 2014)

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Social media analytics can help you understand the active members of your social media audience, but what about the people who aren't posting? How do you fill in the gaps in your analytics with insight into your customers' purchases, your fans' offline interests, or your users' reasons for liking what they like? Find a new way of tackling these questions in a session that shares a new approach to social media insight, and see how some of the web's leading thinkers are answering their research questions by combining social media analytics with survey data. Find out how this brings new insight to a 90,000-person study of the collaborative economy; how it enhances what we know about online fundraising; and what it tells Discovery about how social media users watch TV. Whether you're looking for fresh insight on what makes social media users tick, or trying to expand your own monitoring and analytics program, this session will give you a first look at the latest data and research methods. This panel was presented at SXSW Interactive on March 7, 2014.

Charity Donations andActive Social Media Users

Topline Insights from Vision Critical ResearchSXSW – March, 2014

Beth Kanter, Author, Trainer, and Blogger

What if your data set combined survey data about donation habits with actual social media usage?

Does more social media use equal more donations?

Actionable Takeaways from Research

• Slack off of slacktivism – active social media users are valuable

• Social channels can be an effective on-ramp for NEW donors, especially more active social media users, but find ways to keep connected

• If you aren’t urging your donors to post about your charity when they donate or encourage them to fundraise on your behalf, you are missing a huge opportunity.
