Short-Term Day-to-Day Goals: Content that leads to Communication that leads to Conversation than leads to Conversion

  • Make the buying process easier regardless of media

One Year Plan: To establish a consistent presence across social media, coordinated with the organization's on-going functions and goals, that has a defined set of tactics, measurements, and expected ROI contribution.

Management Structure: Social media touches roles and responsibilities in multiple areas including Marketing, Customer Service, Legal, Sales.  To begin the process, we recommend the Social Media Manager work across departments, and coordinate with a small committee with representatives from each interested department.

Goalposts by Time Frame:

0-60 Days:

• Develop a plan to coordinate communication needs and develop share-worthy content across departments, areas, and managers
• Determine existing capabilities and restraints in coordinating systems and IT functions through new/different media, define how to coordinate CRM functions and touch points
• Develop a specific map of what social mechanisms will be used or managed by the Social Media Manager (if already in place to any degree) such as blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Flicker, Linked-In, eBay, etc.

3-6 Months:

• Develop a calendar of communication to develop and place content along with "best guess" social benchmark goals (Reach, CPA, PR Value, ARPU, SEO, etc.)
• Establish initial social sites and blogs, beginning feeding content and managing communication
• Put in place tracking mechanisms, syndication software, and live-test order-taking

7-12 Months

• Establish social media benchmark goals (based on testing) to refine "best guess" goals
• Determine the optimal management structure where Social best fits within the organization
• Create both communication and tracking measures that relate to Get, Keep, and Grow, and develop a Social Media budget with both specific cost and specific revenue ROI goals.
