Our philosophy
• We believe to maximize the benefits from social media you need to consider both your ONSITE and ONCHANNEL social media strategy.
• Put another way – you should have an integrated social media strategy looking at both your website and social media channels together.
In this presentation…
I aim to provide a framework for you to explore social media for the next 12 months and start to drive a more measureable ROI from your activities.
Where is social media marketing now?• Importance being realised• Our most common bit of feedback is…• Many companies have a mad rush for Facebook ‘Likes’ • ROI not evident• Questions from senior management• Still potentially a ‘marketing’ spend and in tough times, activities can
get cut.• Its our aim to move this to an E-commerce function.
