How Social Media Helps One Small Business Connect with Fans

Val — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:14:49 +0000

From Mashable! http://mashable.com/2010/02/04/social-media-helps-small-business/

This post originally appeared on the American Express OPEN Forum, where Mashable regularly contributes articles about leveraging social media and technology in small business.

Customers of Seattle-based bag manufacturer Tom Bihn are as passionate about the product as the company’s 22-person staff.

The company’s namesake has been designing and making bags for more than 20 years. He always has a sketchbook, regularly works on up to 10 designs at once and always sews the prototype of the new product himself, according to the company’s Web site.

There is no Social Media ROI.

Val — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:36:20 +0000

I love this post from Jay Deragon.

What a great way to explain ROI.

We get hammered about this and the bottom line is – no matter how much is Done-For-You, we all reap what we sew.

The whole post with a very cool video and cartoon is at:
http://www.socialmediatoday.com/SMC/170873

Here's an excerpt:

There is lots of chatter on the web relative to the ROI from social media. As we start a new year more and more people and organizations will become consumed by defining the ROI. The Rising Tide of Expectations People and businesses don’t like spending time and money without defining the return on their efforts. At the same time people and businesses engage in non-productive activities without even considering an ROI on those activities. So one must ask why do they think social media activities will produce an ROI? The reason is that social media has become in vogue and everyone seems to want to capture value from it rather than with it. Now Social Media ROI is in Demand Connie Bensen predicts for following trends for 2010 as it relates to this ambiguous thing called social media ROI.

Companies will expect ROI from their Social Media efforts.
The Social Media Specialist (Community Manager) position will become mainstream.
Cultural shift inside of companies.
Social Media Monitoring will be a necessary component
Agencies and companies will hire data analysts
Integration of platforms and processes will be critical.

Connie’s predictions are sound and the market activity in 2010 will likely follow form. I have my own take on social media ROI. My take is there is no ROI from social media. Watch the video below and give me your thoughts.
