There is no definitive recipe for integrating social media with other stuff. Sorry. There are ingredients, but no clear amounts and combinations.It’s more alchemy than science.
16
But social media should be part of a whole.
“Social Media works best when it is part of something bigger.”- Jay Baer

Can social media scale and be measured? “I think it can and it has to. We have 2 billion conversations online a year. If I can’t scale to the requirements, I can’t continue to be a thriving business because that’s increasingly how consumers are shopping and engaging. We’re less focused right now on attributing ROI to everything we’re doing. We’re focused on “does it enhance the customer experience?” Does it look like revenue and profit are following? I’m less interested in measuring cost per contact. I know engagement with a fan on Facebook is a really good thing. I don’t measure if that shortens the sales cycles. The things I can measure I feel great about. Those I can’t I’m not losing sleep about.”

Questions for discussionAre you currently measuring social activities and results? How?Do you need to prove ROI or value? Are your measures tied to your specific goals?
