A

((Value generated from social media – Costs of social media investment) / Costs) * 100

Value generated from social media: varies from business to business (e.g., increased sales, leads, conversions, or cost savings due to effective social media engagement)

Costs of social media investment: all costs associated with executing the social media strategy (e.g., advertising budgets, content creation costs, employee salaries, software & tool subscriptions).

34
Q

CALCULATE THE SOCIAL MEDIA ROI

A

Step 1: Define clear social and business objectives
* Understand the overall business strategy/vision
* Examples: building a loyal audience, create relationships with customers, drive business conversions (newsletter sign-ups, sales), improving customer service

Step 2: Track metrics that align with your objectives
* Does this metric reflect my business objectives?
* Does it help me make decisions (what to do more of, what to do less of, etc.)?
* Is it possible to measure it accurately and consistently?
* Examples: Reach, engagement, conversions, sales/revenue generated, newsletter subscriptions
* Are you interested in a specific time period, campaign, post format?

Step 3: calculate your social media costs
* Social media costs should include all expenses required to create and publish content.
* Examples: Tools and subscriptions for social media management, Advertising campaign budgets, Content creation costs, ongoing costs for your social media team (salaries, training, etc.)
* Are you interested in a specific time period, campaign, post format?

Step 4: Calculate your ROI
* ROI percentage greater than 0: your social media efforts have generated more value than the resources you invested.
* Anegative ROI means you invested more than you made back (aka you lost money).

UPSIDE DOWN SOCIAL MEDIA ROI
* Rather than taking investments in social media tools as the starting point, social media calculations should be based on the investments the consumers make into social media
* The time invested by the consumers to engage with the branded content
This approach rates engaged consumers higher than consumers who are only following (Dahl 2021)
