•It gives you feedback (performance data)

121

Page 122: Trends with Benefits  - Social Media Update 2012

Gaps (investment opportunities)

• Get targeting right, finally know your audience and speak to their pain

• Design for mobile and sharing (vs. snaring) – tags, buttons, formatting

• Test, test, test - testing is the new proofreading Treat email and websites alike Combine & analyze the data to improve
