Social Media Marketing 101: Establishing Goals, Metrics

Social Media Marketing 101: Establishing Goals, Metrics | Digital Marketing & Communications | Scoop.it
Social media can be very exciting. For companies who are brave enough to embrace social media and integrate engagement within their communication and marketing strategies, the most daunting part is measuring its impact on the bottom line.
Azhar Mohammed's curator insight, March 28, 2013 12:34 AM

Proper communication is essential in marketing and using social media is one of the most tech savvy ways you can reach your consumers today. It is essential to portray your products well and accurately on social media as it is very often we see that because of communication failure or misinterpretation of a firms marketing efforts their product or efforts fail. Marketing communication is about getting the message about their product that they have conjured to their consumers accurately and in a timely manner. Social media is a very instant and fast way to reach your consumers but can backfire when communication breaks down. 

Penny Liu's comment, March 31, 2013 7:03 AM
totally agreed with you. not only the firm communication with consumers through social media, but it is also a way for consumer to have a say!! and just my point of view, sometimes it might gets difficult as social media is an open space for everyone. the communication might not end up well. right?
Winina Tan's comment, April 9, 2013 6:37 PM
in any aspect of the human life, and what we go through, a good communication foundation is always needed. websites like a tripadvisor is a great example of when the consumer have a say of how they really feel about their experience with a certain brand/company/establishment. but a representative from the company are able to reply back to the feedback that has been posted about the brand/company. with such simple action not only does it show to the other readers that read the post that not only does the company care about the consumers, but they actually take action to remedy the situation. communication is a two way process. Communication is said to be a continuous process of exchange of views and ideas, but it should be both ways. This two-way traffic is advantageous to both the consumer and the brand/company.
