Measure it.

23



“Can we literally enroll students or collect donations via social

media channels?”Objective: Sell more product /service

24

YES! NO!

Integrate purchase functionality into your social channels: F-Commerce module, mobile storefront application, tracking codes, e-commerce, cookies, etc.

Maybe your budget or technology does not allow.

So what CAN you do to influence enrollment behavior?Measure collection volume and

calculate ROI based on cost to capture.



•Define success: sum of parts = whole•Let’s pick “Increase Awareness”•What data points would indicate success on this objective?

Identify success metrics

25

✓Shares of product assets (images, video, etc.)✓Online reviews of institution✓Traffic to information page(s)✓Social comments, likes about you✓Mentions in third party media



•What were the baselines before digital initiatives?

•Have there been other additions to the marketing mix?

•What other factors could contribute to potential increases or decreases?

Measure it

GC: Gross contribution per customerr: annual retention rate (as a percentage)d: Discount rate, or cost of capital for the future value of a customer. Often roughly estimated w/ current interest rate.

*This equation is a good estimate but doesn’t take into consideration costs to maintain a customer and assumes constant values for each variable. More complex CLV equations are required.

CLV: Customer Lifetime Value

27

CLV = GC x (r________

1 + d - r)



GC = $50 per widgetr = 80%d = 2.75%Then CLV = $175.82

You spent $100,000 to acquire 2,500 new customers through traditional channels.Cost per acquisition = $40Customer acquisition ROI =

($175.82 - $40)/$40 = 339.5%


28

CLV = GC x (r________

1 + d - r)



GC = $50 per widgetr = 80%d = 2.75%Then CLV = $175.82

You spent $75,000 to acquire 2,500 new customers through social media channels.Cost per acquisition = $30Customer acquisition ROI =

(175.82 – 30)/30 = 486.1%


29

CLV = GC x (r________

1 + d - r)



Simple calculation

30



(Sales – Investment) ÷ Investment = %ROI

Sales = $ sold via that channel or due to that channelInvestment = all $ costs related to acquiring the sale: development + design of platform, time to manage or staff it, maintenance costs, advertising to drive awareness of channel, etc.

Simple calculation

31



Complex calculation

32



(Revenue – Investment) ÷ Investment = %ROI

Revenue = $ attributed to sales from leads through or assisted by digital initiativesInvestment = all $ costs related to acquiring the sale: assign relevant costs to each level of lead nurturing required to close sale. Must include additional marketing, CRM, proposal development, presentation time, customer service activities, etc.
