Quite rightly so as this is where people are these days. But many advertisers and agencies don&amp;#39;t know how to measure the impact of their social media activivty. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bdrlondon.com/internet-advertising-agency/social-media-marketing" title="social media marketing" target="_blank"&gt;Social Media Marketing&lt;/a&gt; can&amp;#39;t be measured in a traditional way you need to use metrics such as followers and comments. This will go towards helping brands understand how people receive them and whether they want to publically display to others they are an advocate of the said brand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Tracking Social Media Marketing Campaign</title><link>http://community.brandrepublic.com/forums/thread/45616.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2009 08:36:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0f8ed6bf-041d-4f2c-bb76-9560b958a575:45616</guid><dc:creator>marketingimpactzone zone</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://community.brandrepublic.com/forums/thread/45616.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://community.brandrepublic.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=95&amp;PostID=45616</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Social Marketing has proved to be a
very useful medium of information dissemination in the recent years.
Combination of the reach and popularity of social networking sites,
forums etc, and ingenious techniques of marketing to ensure right
delivery of a message has ensured success for businesses in
delivering right message in the right way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0in;"&gt;But, the need of the hour is creation
of measurable social marketing campaign that can be tracked, tallied
and customized as per the need. The same would also help in removing
ambiguity over the effectiveness of a campaign and measure the worth
of time and effort invested in it. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A very important step in this direction
is defining measurable objectives for the campaign. They help in
maintaining the focus. Periodical study of the reviews, visitor
footprints and reversal matrix would let you know whether you are on
the right track to your goal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;For more information on social media marketing please visit marketingimpactzone.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
