Please forgive my Hallmark-esque title but hey, it is Valentine's Day or at least it almost is. And come to think of it the title also sounds like the something from a Lifetime movie starring Tori Spelling. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Regardless of whether or not the title is a little cutesy, the fact remains that marketers and social media are, well to borrow a line from the infographic below "feeling the social relationship." The stats below come via a survey conducted in partnership with Social Media Today.
Some key takeaways include:
- A majority of marketers are still relying on the standard social media KPIs such as shares and likes. That may have been sufficient a few years ago but today there are metrics such as brand sentiment that absolutely need to be measured and analyzed.
- Facebook, Twitter, Blogging and LinkedIn continue to reign supreme when it comes to preferred social media platform.
- Just a little more than half of marketers are using the data that is available to them via social media. While some may view that as a positive, I look at it the other way and wonder why that number is not higher - significantly higher. With the technology and platform options available today it (the number) should in fact be much higher.
