CRITICAL PHASES
SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS
CRITICAL PHASES
Awareness: How many new prospective clients have become aware of the
offer / service / product / association through social media and word of mouth?
How are you drawing attention to new products or services from your existing
client base?
Consideration: How many positive versus negative comments /
endorsements are being populated on all of the various channels. How many
are genuine (supporters and detractors). And how is the association /
organization engaged in these discussions in an honest and participatory
manner?
Conversion: How many transactions (purchase decisions) are you able to
trace that either originated or were heavily influenced by social media
conversations?
METRICS
YOU CANNOT MEASURE WHAT YOU DO NOT MEASURE
Consumption: Are you measuring customer satisfaction in real time at the
point of experience with the product or service? Are you using social media to
capture that experience?
Word of Mouth (WOM): Measure the echo. What are customers saying
about your offer / product / service after consumption? Are you encouraging
after sales WOM? What is the result?

METRICS
Awareness:
How many new prospective clients have become aware of the
offer / service / product / association through social media and word of mouth?
How are you drawing attention to new products or services from your existing
client base?
Metric: Number of unique new visitors. Number of revived “inactive” contacts.
Consideration: How many positive versus negative comments /
endorsements are being populated on all of the various channels. How many
are genuine (supporters and detractors). And how is the association /
organization engaged in these discussions in an honest and participatory
manner?
Metric: Number of customers that agree with the statement: “I would
recommend this product / service / membership to a friend.” Number of
complaints. Ratio of supporters versus detractors. Note: New product or service
ideas, including multiple requests for things you don’t offer should be collected

METRICS
Conversion: How many transactions (purchase decisions) are you able to
trace that either originated or were heavily influenced by social media
conversations?
Metric: Gross revenue per total customer base (includes Members and NonMember sales). Gross revenue directly attributable to social media channels

point of experience with the product or service? Are you using social media to
capture that experience?
Metric: Number of customers that agree with the statement: “I would
recommend this product / service / membership to a friend. Number of
complaints. Ratio of supporters versus detractors.
METRICS

COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS
WHAT IT TAKES TO SUCCEED
Online communities and communities in
general require quality discussion and
engagement in order to prosper and grow.
This is true of every type of community of
interest whether for a for-profit customer
group, a professional association or a
community of citizens.
Community Champions will have a
disproportionate impact on the quality of
the user experience and it is important to
support their usually volunteer efforts.
