Introduction
Increasingly, we’re seeing case studies of brands who use social
media to help develop better relationships with their customers. Social
media pioneers recognized early on that social media has the ability to
provide answers to customers in real-time to mitigate problems and
discontent. The challenge is in measuring what impact social media
has on customer relationships. From a measurement perspective,
customer service has a long-standing history of metrics that are
used to evaluate performance based on operational objectives. Now,
social media marketers with increased social media budgets1 need
to provide accountability for social media dollars and show how
social media performs against the bottom line. Recently Bazaarvoice

Understanding
Where Customer
Retention Fits
The business case for great customer service is consistent across
most organizations; it is less expensive to keep your existing
customers than it is to cultivate new ones. The cost to acquire new
customers is high and the value in keeping them is even higher.
Social media provides us with a valuable forum for connecting and
responding to customers in real-time, extending the customer service
experience and providing us with the opportunity to immediately
address customer complaints or misconceptions posted online, as
these may not necessarily make it to your company through traditional
channels. This allows your company to participate in conversations
about your brand, products or services, giving you the opportunity to
address negative perceptions and illuminate positive ones.




As you can see in the graphic above, customer retention is a result
of follow-up marketing efforts after a sale is completed, thus cycling
customers back into the top of the sales funnel. It is what we do to
                                                                         www.hootsuite.com       www.fullfrontalroi.com

Measuring Customer
Loyalty
How can you tell if social media customers are more loyal than other
customers? Utilizing customer satisfaction surveys to measure loyalty
is one option. While customer surveys may provide some insight,
you learn only what the customer wants to tell you about his or her
purchase, which may not indicate that customer’s loyalty to your
brand. It’s ideal to use surveys as directional data and rely on hard
numbers for decision making data.


It is actually fairly easy to measure customer loyalty based on behavior
after the sale. The revenue metrics shown in the previous section are
also measures of loyalty. If the customer continues to spend money
with your organization, it is clear that they are showing loyalty and
choosing you time and time again over your competition.

Measuring Customer Loyalty




Being able to show that customers who interact with you through
social media have higher retention, greater lifetime value and more
referrals will give you the business case you need to increase social
marketing outreach and encourage customers to use social media for
their service related questions.

Measuring
Organizational Impact
The methods of providing customer service vary drastically from one
organization to the next, but there are a few commonalities we can
review in order to discuss the impact of social media.


Many organizations operate a call center to manage customer service
requests. In order to show social media’s role in assisting a call center,
here are a few measurements that social media has an impact on:




     Cost per customer                                                        Percentage of issues
          serviced                         Cost per resolution               resolved online versus



     Rate of complaints                     Cancellation rate                     Rate of online
                                                                                   self-service

     Average number of                       Average time to
     reported issues per                       resolution
         customer



Again, the key to understanding these metrics is in the comparison
of customers who have interacted with the social media team against
those who haven’t. Essentially, we want to take core operational
metrics that are used to gauge the effectiveness of your call center
and compare them to social media. Regardless of your customer
service set up these metrics can be used to illustrate everything from
phone support to chat support and most types of support in between.

Measuring Organizational Impact




The purpose of this measurement is to determine if customer service
via social media channels reduces cost and leads to faster resolution
than traditional customer service methods; you want to show how
social media helps the organization decrease overall operational
support costs.

2. For tracking Lead Forms, it’s best to select the thank you page
    that follows once customers enter information. This provides
    clear conversion numbers because visitors will only land on this
    page if they clicked submit. This thank you page will need the
    code provided in Google when you set up the goal.


3. To report on drop off, set the goal and put the code on the
    landing page as well as the thank you page. This will show you
    your funnel, and where you’re losing customers, allowing you to
    pinpoint areas and hopefully draw more of your audience further
    down the funnel.

  • 2. 04 Measuring Social Media for Customer Retention Introduction Increasingly, we’re seeing case studies of brands who use social media to help develop better relationships with their customers. Social media pioneers recognized early on that social media has the ability to provide answers to customers in real-time to mitigate problems and discontent. The challenge is in measuring what impact social media has on customer relationships. From a measurement perspective, customer service has a long-standing history of metrics that are used to evaluate performance based on operational objectives. Now, social media marketers with increased social media budgets1 need to provide accountability for social media dollars and show how social media performs against the bottom line. Recently Bazaarvoice hard ROI this year. 1 Marketing Sherpa released a report that showed that 53% of marketers said their budgets in social media increased for 2011. www.hootsuite.com www.fullfrontalroi.com 1
  • 3. Introduction For marketers, this signals a need to change the social media measurement dialogue from fans and followers to true business metrics which show our impact on customer retention. This White Paper will show how to leverage existing metrics and build a strategy for a more robust customer service report that includes social media tactics. HootSuite released Custom Social Analytics Reports within the dashboard to help marketers and businesses understand the metrics, of their social media campaigns. This platform provides a streamlined view of social media performance for your business. Beyond the Analytics from HootSuite can be tailored to provide a granular analysis of campaign elements, regional and demographic diagnostics, or an overview of all social channels. These metrics combined with basic executive measurement philosophies result in a powerful indication of what is and isn’t working in your social media strategy, giving you the ability to adjust and increase value for your organization. www.hootsuite.com www.fullfrontalroi.com 2
  • 4. 04 Measuring Social Media for Customer Retention Review of Core Measurement Philosophies Executives want to understand how social media delivers value to the bottom line. Unfortunately, the new language of social media metrics compare with traditional marketing channels.

The cost to acquire new customers is high and the value in keeping them is even higher. Social media provides us with a valuable forum for connecting and responding to customers in real-time, extending the customer service experience and providing us with the opportunity to immediately address customer complaints or misconceptions posted online, as these may not necessarily make it to your company through traditional channels. This allows your company to participate in conversations about your brand, products or services, giving you the opportunity to address negative perceptions and illuminate positive ones. As you can see in the graphic above, customer retention is a result of follow-up marketing efforts after a sale is completed, thus cycling customers back into the top of the sales funnel.

  • 8. 04 Measuring Social Media for Customer Retention Measuring Customer Loyalty How can you tell if social media customers are more loyal than other customers? Utilizing customer satisfaction surveys to measure loyalty is one option. While customer surveys may provide some insight, you learn only what the customer wants to tell you about his or her purchase, which may not indicate that customer’s loyalty to your brand. It’s ideal to use surveys as directional data and rely on hard numbers for decision making data. It is actually fairly easy to measure customer loyalty based on behavior after the sale. The revenue metrics shown in the previous section are also measures of loyalty. If the customer continues to spend money with your organization, it is clear that they are showing loyalty and choosing you time and time again over your competition. These begin with the frequency of customer engagement online and Average number of website visits Average time on site Average number of Customer website referrals per retention rate customer Average number of online mentions per Lifetime value of a customer social media customer www.hootsuite.com www.fullfrontalroi.com 7

Essentially, we want to take core operational metrics that are used to gauge the effectiveness of your call center and compare them to social media. Regardless of your customer service set up these metrics can be used to illustrate everything from phone support to chat support and most types of support in between. www.hootsuite.com www.fullfrontalroi.com 9
