Running the numbers
Ask any social media manager who is running accounts for various clients and they’ll all tell you the same thing.
The #1 concern of most clients? Numbers.
“How long will it take you to get my Facebook page to 10,000 likes?”
“How many followers can you get me in a week?”
“Can you make this go viral?”
Of course numbers are most certainly important, as is ROI. And it’s frustrating to wait sometimes for that hard-to-measure social ROI to finally kick in, since social marketing is a slow and gradual process.
Put an ad in the paper and you can tell in a matter of days if it worked or not.
Social… not so much.
