Twitter Marketing: Business for Social Media Data
Let’s chat about Twitter Marketing: Business for Social Media Data. Recently, I shared tips for different ways business owners should utilize Instagram and digital marketing. Anyway, business owners (entrepreneurs) are beginning to understand the benefits of social media for business. Twitter discovered businesses may not be taking full advantage of social media data.
Twitter’s Newly Published Guide
Recently, Twitter published a new guide to help business leaders to put better use of the social media data that is collected by their marketing team.
As per Twitter, “…results from a recent Harris Poll, 31% of marketers believe that the public social media data collected by their team is underutilized in business decisions [and marketing campaign ads].
Honestly, it’s only been two years since I began to understand the importance of social media data also known as ‘insights.’ I started seeing tabs on my Pinterest and Facebook business pages, but didn’t realize how that could translate into actionable strategies. Actually, this new guide would have been PERFECT for me two years ago. Not to say, there aren’t handy tips to add to my knowledge base, but this guide is excellent for those startup businesses or those established business new to social media and digital marketing.
Underutilized Data per Twitter
According to Twitter, “Social media data offers a wealth of insights on the business, the brand, products, and services. It can be used as input into R&D innovation, to enable the HR team to better target job candidates, or to help Legal to mitigate risk. But without a team that knows how to harness the value from it, social data will continue to sit there in your org, unused.”
Twitter’s Social Data Program Elements
To better provide guidance to business leaders to elevate their current social data programs, Twitter is looking at social data programs in 5 sections.
Within each guide section, there are helpful to improve “strategic efforts” and transition your “social program from tactical to strategic.”
