Itu2019s quite difficult to clearly represent the difference in marketing strategies with something like easy saver complaints as it is all customer behavior based, but I think this useful guidance has pointed me in the right direction.

You have a point. i certainly agree that there should be a way of minimizing lost and increase profit. Everything costs money. Our clients wouldn't want to spend money for nothing, how much more us?

You make some excellent points.
Companies are struggling now with where to allocate budgets based on demonstrated value. Setting goals is critical; however understanding how to set realistic goals that are aligned with the potential offered by the social media platform is often a task that many companies find difficult to do on their own because they just don’t understand the new media well enough. Using language one finds on a social media site in an seo campaign can be risky. There is a distinct difference between searching and expressing oneself. The best thing really is “do you homework.” Once again though, many companies are frustrated by a lack of understanding about how to effectively do their homework. Social media isn’t free. It takes time. And time costs money. Like anything, it’s about balancing costs with returns. Oftentimes it just makes good sense to spend the money for the time of a professional who understands how to tap into the value offered by social media.

Many companies still look at social media as this mystical creature. it is time to put your shoes on and come join the party. At the very least create some robust profiles and have a seat at the table.

Dennis, I agree that there do need to be more case studies shared. Companies are certainly outsourcing social media work. Some are finding a good mix of vendor and in-house involvement. Many are outsourcing everything and some of that is so very poor. Kind of tough to build real relationships that way. Not impossible, but for many social media consultants, it's not sustainable unless the client can commit for a very long time.

Would love to hear case studies or examples of how to effectively outsource social media efforts. Process is key, but there's still the issue of authenticity.

Automates all of their social media? Is that in a different category than spam? How do you automate relationship building?

I really enjoyed your posting. It is great to see that view on social media. I work with a company that automates all of your social media, and it is so important to know what you are doing out there. Kudos to you!

Most organizations just don't have the knowledge, time or resources to do this well. What mostly happens is that they jump in with both feet, don't see immediate results and jump out.

I can't believe how many people fail to plan and then completely lose their target.

Social tools simply facilitate word of mouth. Answering your question about return on investment and effort with social media is to answer the question about the value of word of mouth.

Is this a great move into the so called social media domain? I am sure millions of $$ Dollars $$ has already been spent and made using these tools. However, moving forward within these social services such as Twitter or Facebook can we ever hope to rely on them to have a financial return for what they provide? Its no secret that these very same social service companies are themselves looking into a dark financial hole with very little revenues to run this very same domain to date which we are all up-schilling to relying on.

I think you miss the point Fearless. These are things companies should do before they hire a consultant, not what they should do instead of hiring one.
