Agenda
•Say hello•What is ROI?•How can you measure social media ROI?•Questions
Monday, 5 September 2011I’ve prepared an agenda for my chat. First I’m going to say hello, so hello.Then I’ll explain what ROI is and how it can be measured in social media.Afterwards I’ll open the floor and take some questions.

What is ROI?
Monday, 5 September 2011
So first - what is ROI? What does it stand for?Let me start by explaining what ROI is not.

Monday, 5 September 2011Return on Investment. It has a concrete formula that goes like this...
(gain from investment - cost of investment)
cost of investment

ROI =
Monday, 5 September 2011the gain minus the cost divided by the cost.that’s it. and because everything you put into your social media program costs money - from head hours to technology - the gain must also be measured in money.For example - if Mumbrella paid me $100 to be here and it cost me $50 to get here - well that’s a 100% return on investment.Let’s apply this simple formula to a typical social media program.

Social Media ROIAn example program
Monday, 5 September 20111st - The client invests $30k in their social program.For that - the agency socialises the call centre, introduces etc.Next the public responds. They like the buyer’s guides and they get service via social media.The agency is proud to report on what I’m calling ‘soft-gain’ success. These are non-financial metrics like -All this results in hard gain - which is money. 15k cost reduction in the call centre and 45k worth of sales for a grand total of $60,000.

Monday, 5 September 2011this is marketing. Marketing is still very important, but if your cost of investment is measured in dollars and your gain on investment is measured in facebook likes - well you’re doing it wrong.So in this example - the client invested $30k and gained $60k. Let’s plug those figures into our trusty formula and...

Social Media ROIWhat usually happens
INVESTMENT ACTION REACTION SOFT GAIN GAIN
• Agency asks client to pay for a social media program
• Agency writes a strategy with soft gain success metrics i.e. 5,000 likes or service level agreements such as 5min response times
• Client signs-off on strategy
• Agency reports on program against soft metrics
• Program is optimised to produce better soft gain metrics
• Client and agency celebrate soft gain success
• Calculating real ROI is put into the too-hard basket
Monday, 5 September 2011Agency gets client to pay for social media programThe agency writes up a strategy with soft gain success metrics like 5,000 likes and service level agreements such as 5min response timesClient signs off and the agency reports on the program based on the soft gain metrics, so the program keeps being optimised to produce better soft gain metrics and we all celebrate our soft gain success. And that crucial last step where we convert our non-financial impact into real financial gain is simply put into the ‘too-hard’ basket. But it doesn’t have to be that way...

Some examples are mentions - which can be split into positive and negative, customers served via social, site traffic driven from social or data from facebook insights. This is probably stuff youʼre already doing to measure your soft gain success. Itʼs the stuff you put in case study videos.

Step 3.Prove the relationship between social media activity & financial performance

Demand reduction in call centre
Monday, 5 September 2011
Sometimes this will be clear - like an increase in the conversion rate from social media.Other times - it will require some further calculations. For example maybe you notice that as more customers get service on your Facebook page - there is less demand on your call centre. To calculate the gain on this youʼd have to...

1.Tally the number of Qs answered by community5,000/m

3.Multiply by avg. cost of call500 x $20 = $10,000/m
Social Media ROIStep 3. Relationship of sales & social media
Monday, 5 September 2011First, you need to tally the number of questions answered by your community.Then you times that by 10% which is what salesforce tells us is the average amount of calls deflected after being served via socialThen you times those deflected calls by the cost of a call to get your average amount of gain per month.In fact - socialising your call centre is a great way to project ROI and get some budget. But that’s a story for another time. Cos right now it’s time for my favourite part...

And so,in summary

Social Media ROISummary
•ROI=(gain - cost)/cost - So if cost = $ then gain = $•Don’t settle for soft gains - you can’t measure ROI in ‘likes’•Get that financial data•Layer your social efforts on top of financial data•Prove correlation between social efforts & financial gain
