Social Media Analytics Are Transforming Digital Marketing

It has already passed 7 lectures. As a business student, I'm struggling in the matrix, the models and the programming of the course. But I still keep thinking about what should I learn from these course except the technic analytics methods. Oh yes, how to take use the social media analytics in digital marketing. Today let's talk about how the social analytics transforming digital marketing.

Does social media analytics mean looking at one-off engagements - fans, follower, likes - and using this information to make major campaign decisions? Not exactly. The realms of both digital marketing and customer care have moved beyond the web to social media, and marketers have incredibly advanced technologies at their disposal. Social media reveals not just who is engaging with your brand and what they're engaging with, but why they're engaging. The result creates a real value by measuring whether a campaign worked based on data and ROI.

Most companies already pay attention to customer feedback via tweets, Facebook comments and so on. That's important, but next step is learning what motivates customer purchase. Progressive marketers already use tools to influence point-of-purchase strategy, brand positioning, product development and more.. For example, by analyzing chatter across social channels, one consumer packaged goods company discovered that one of its beverages was routinely perceived as a good workout. This led to product placement near the exit of health clubs.

Moreover, by monitoring the competitors and their audience, companies can react to what's going on in an effort to capture market share. For example, if the competition releases a new product and customers are dissatisfied, this is an opportunity to target those users. It's possible to know who has the highest share of voice, the happiest consumers or the biggest impact from promotions, PR or launches.
