Strategy gets buy-in, not tactics
• Customer
• Channel
• Content
• Appeal with measurements that are “familiar”

Customers
• Define customer profiles aka personas
– Demographics, interests, problems, questions &
traditional channels that “convert” them
– Adam the Affluent is different than Edward the
Empty Nester
• Goals, social media channels & content focus
will flow from this

customer) interviews

PewSocialTrends.org

Measurement
• To justify social media investment, we must
establish a defensible way to value the results. 1. SEO & SEM KPI Increases
2. Lead Generation
3. Revenue Generation
“�massive amounts of data is being generated and much of what goes for
measurement in "social media tools" is profoundly sub optimal.
We have IT-minded people engaging in massive data puking (one report with 30
metrics anyone?) and marketing-minded people who are using lousy measures of
success ("I got 158,632 fans! Hurray!").” - Avinash Kaushik, Author; Co-founder - Market Motive
