This means establishing specific goals that create value for your company while tying it back to your social segments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In the world of social media, we usually refer to two types of metrics when evaluating the achievement of objectives. Let&#8217;s talk about \u201cvanity metrics,\u201d and what I like to call the \u201csmarter metrics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Vanity Metrics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">These are the metrics \u201cnewbie\u201d social marketers use to determine if their strategy is bringing in traffic and the big bucks. Don\u2019t get me wrong, they are important to track. However, they shouldn\u2019t be your primary focus. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Vanity metrics are the number of followers, impressions, likes, shares, and retweets. Mainly, these are the \u201cgeneral metrics\u201d everyone keeps track of when overseeing their social media platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can see an example from Facebook below:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15683\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Vanessa2.png\" alt=\"Example of Facebook Analytics that shows insight and ways to build social media marketing strategy. \" width=\"819\" height=\"736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Vanessa2.png 819w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Vanessa2-300x270.png 300w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Vanessa2-768x690.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The problem is, vanity metrics indicate only the overall status of your social channels. They won&#8217;t give you insights about conversions, sales, or return on investment (ROI). This is the juicy stuff we&#8217;re looking for!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In short, use them to get a better gauge of your overall social media marketing strategy and what type of content works for your audience, but don\u2019t base your performance results solely on these metrics. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Smarter Metrics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">To better grasp if your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/ca\/services\/social\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">social media marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u00a0strategy works, ensure you have specific goals based on data-driven metrics. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">What do I mean by data-driven metrics? These are the conversions, on-site behavior, engagements, etc. These metrics tie DIRECTLY to your primary brand\u2019s goal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">My personal favorite is looking at on-site behavior in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.google.com\/analytics\/academy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Google Analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">. This gives viewers massive amounts of information about the performance of your social media strategy.

Different companies use various metrics. But, make sure you select the ones that reflect your brand\u2019s goals, don&#8217;t just follow the crowd.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Finding the right metrics can be complicated, but it is the foundation of your performance. It&#8217;s crucial!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> Without metrics and data, you can\u2019t evaluate your performance. It\u2019s that simple and worth your time. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make Social Media Marketing a Team Effort<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">If you work on social media, it typically means you are part of the hardworking marketing team. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">As you share your company\u2019s insights with the internet, you\u2019ll want to know everything going on and which highlights are the most beneficial to share. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Who should you talk to?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> First, go to your sales team. They regularly get calls by potential clients or even existing ones, which means they will be the first to hear real-time feedback on your social efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Sales will be able to inform you if they got any referrals coming from any of your brand\u2019s social channels. If they did, you\u2019re reaching your target audience. Keep it up!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Trust me, it\u2019s essential to be proactive and find ways to receive feedback on your efforts. Don\u2019t sit around waiting weeks to learn that all the content you spent time on, didn\u2019t resonate with your audience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/tpLz5aKdQmM\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15687 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Directive_Blog_Image_4-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"Image of handshake representing teamwork in social media marketing strategy. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Since most companies\u2019 goals have something to do with their ROI at one point or another, I value asking my executives or senior management if they have seen any changes in their ROI coming from my social efforts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Since you may not have access to this information yourself, it makes sense to ask them about the latest revenues statistics. If they can provide you with details regarding their ROI, you have a better chance at understanding how your social media strategy impacts these numbers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">While you are at it, I suggest you inform your sales and the management team when you are trying out something new with your social media marketing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">If they know you are trying to pivot strategy, by reaching out to new audiences or even publishing different forms of content, they will be able to keep an eye on any changes that may appear in referrals, incoming calls, ROI, or other metrics. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Keep in mind, not all your efforts are going to pay off. Social media can be a difficult type of marketing to evaluate. However, by making active efforts, your social strategy will help meet your company\u2019s goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The primary takeaway here is that communication is vital when looking over your results. Believe it or not, even the best social strategists out there need to communicate more with other departments to better understand the impact of their work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Find what\u2019s working, learn from your data, make adjustments when necessary, and make content that people can\u2019t say no to. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overwhelmed? You May Be on the Right Track <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">It\u2019s no secret that running a successful social media marketing campaign keeps you busy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">When you find yourself spending more time responding to comments or direct messages, it usually means your social community is growing. People CARE about what you&#8217;re doing and saying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That means you&#8217;re doing something right! Learn from it and build your other campaigns to match it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Even if this is a positive sign, it\u2019s important to understand that your strategy is probably successful to the point where you may need help from other people. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The solution is simple. Get more people involved! Overall this means you likely need assistance from an intern or another employee who can dedicate their time to your social expansion. Be smart about your strategy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Recalculate your posting schedule or invest in auto-posting tools like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Buffer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">. The goal here is to learn how to continue to build the solid performances of your social strategy and take it to the next level. A bonus point?
