5:06 pm rshonerd: What's the topic for today? #engage365
5:07 pm chrisuschan: I am here to chat today --- hi kari, jeffk #engage365
5:08 pm jeffkorhan: @KariRippetoe I believe so and I'm supposed to be moderating. You're either the 1st here or maybe Twitter problems :) #engage365
5:09 pm chrisuschan: This article about social media measuring http://ow.ly/20mDG is starting to get a little buzz and mixed reactions #engage365
5:12 pm chrisuschan: if tweetchat is not working again -- try using engage365 http://ow.ly/20mHV #engage365
5:13 pm chrisuschan: @rshonerd is there something you would like to chat about? #engage365 I was thinking social media ROI for events (or grander)
5:14 pm jeffkorhan: #engage365 @chrisuschan Hey Chris - seem to be having tech difficulties today :/
5:17 pm jeffkorhan: @karirippetoe I think so. Tweetchat not working nor #engage365 chat system - so must be Twitter related
5:18 pm KariRippetoe: What metrics are we using to measure social media ROI? #engage365
5:18 pm CTres: I am successfully using tweetChat, I think :) #engage365
5:20 pm chrisuschan: @karirippetoe some think to measure engagement... higher level exec want return (new members, attendees) #engage365
5:20 pm KariRippetoe: @ctres Good to see you here, Colin! #engage365
5:20 pm jeffkorhan: @karirippetoe #engage365 I suggested some metrics in a recent post - humanized vs usual stats of followers: http://bit.ly/cmW4BF
5:21 pm AbbyCary: Looks like tweetchat works for me :) #engage365
5:21 pm KariRippetoe: RT @jeffkorhan: #engage365 I suggested some metrics in a recent post - humanized vs usual stats of followers: http://bit.ly/cmW4BF
5:22 pm LindaChreno: tweetchat has had problems several times - my question is how to overcome challenges when the technology fails us #Engage365
5:22 pm KariRippetoe: @chrisuschan Agree. Do you think it's realistic to measure those as if social media is a direct mktg channel? #engage365
5:23 pm jeffkorhan: @karirippetoe #engage365 My thought was ...humanizes + energizes = monetizes. Measure the inputs and get better outputs.
5:23 pm chrisuschan: @lindachreno when tech fails, have 2 back up plans -- which sometimes means paper #engage365
5:24 pm jeffkorhan: @lindachreno #engage365 ha ha I am the moderator and I was about one minute from punting. If tech fails ... move on. :)
5:24 pm chrisuschan: @karirippetoe you MIGHT say that if u have increased engagement metrics, lagging indicators should rise too #engage365
5:25 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan #engage365 Good point. I recently posted have not two, but THREE Facebook page admins in case admin accts get compromised
5:26 pm chrisuschan: @lindachreno there was a good Linkedin Q/A w/ mtg planners using a binder vs technology - planners were 80% to the binder #engage365
5:26 pm KariRippetoe: @jeffkorhan Absolutely - great point, Jeff. Social media ROI can't be completely about [(Payback - Investment)/Investment)]*100 #engage365
5:26 pm CTres: Location based social media is beginning to turn the experiences into stronger metrics. #engage365
5:27 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan #engage365 Planners like the binders because sponsors like them.
5:28 pm chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan the main reaction was (a) faster to use paper on site and (b) technology failures #engage365
5:30 pm chrisuschan: @ctres expand on that (location sm) #engage365
5:30 pm jeffkorhan: @ctres #engage365 Good point. Measuring things like "density" of engagement seems to make sense. #engage365
5:31 pm chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan how do u think MPI measures the success of their event community? http://ow.ly/20nhJ #engage365
5:31 pm CTres: location sm creates interactions and engagement. emerging platforms allow us to have these measurable experiences. #engage365
5:33 pm LindaChreno: RT @chrisuschan: @lindachreno a good Linkedin Q/A w/mtg planners using a binder vs tech-planners were 80% to the binder #assnchat #Engage365
5:33 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan These days I suspect success metrics should include relevancy - i.e. reinventing the event community model #engage365
5:34 pm jeffkorhan: @CTres True - if we capture what sm gives us we have raw material to work with after the event #engage365
5:36 pm CTres: @jeffkorhan Agreed. If we use platforms that create SM from attendee to exhibitor interactions, everyone wins. Even in realtime. #engage365
5:37 pm chrisuschan: the other issue I read about is you can't just use a sm metric without linking it to your AMS, CRM or Accounting somehow #engage365
5:37 pm KariRippetoe: @jeffkorhan It's definitely a matter of capturing what sm gives us. How are we doing that? #engage365
5:38 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan CRM getting interesting now e.g. Batchbook CRM integrates with Flowtown. What's AMS? #engage365
5:41 pm chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan like http://ow.ly/20nA0 Social CRM - Xeesm/Edge #engage365
5:42 pm chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan (AMS) assn mgmt system #engage365 sorry for the lingo. the Assn world is full of jargon
5:42 pm LindaChreno: the capture of sm is often overlooked as the invaluable tool that it is after an event! #Engage365
5:43 pm chrisuschan: If I am a top exec, how will I know my $10,000 investment to a sm effort or online community is worth it? #engage365
5:45 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan Been seeing a lot of Xeesm - I'll check it out. Thx #engage365
5:45 pm tommorrison: Your $10,000 investment is not about ROI but about transforming the way your staff and members get to communicate #engage365
5:47 pm LindaChreno: RT @tommorrison: Your $10,000 sm investment is not about ROI but about transforming the way your staff & mbrs get to communicate #Engage365
5:47 pm CTres: @chrisuschan Work with SM platforms that deliver value metrics... booth interactions, engagement, usable content and direct sales #engage365
5:47 pm tommorrison: Not investing in sm now is like people who rebelled against the telephone. It put them at a competitive disadvantage 4 future. #engage365
5:47 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan There is always an opportunity cost to waiting. Trust your gut! #engage365
5:49 pm chrisuschan: @tbarkan says most using free tools like FB LI are failing to convert a ROI b/c they dont hav a sustainable biz plan - agree? #engage365
5:49 pm LindaChreno: change is often difficult & being a change ldr is often difficult for BOD who are afraid of failure becuz they don't understand #Engage365
5:50 pm chrisuschan: @tommorrison Agree - and does you organization measure the ROI of the telephone? #engage365
5:51 pm jeffkorhan: chrisuschan @tbarkan Strategic plan - yes. One network, e.g. FB just isn't going to monetize in my opinion. #engage365
5:52 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan @tommorrison For some reason fax machines were easily adopted. Maybe we just trust paper! :) #engage365
5:55 pm tommorrison: #engage365 we don't look for ROI on SM. We are looking to engage our members. We connected 50% of members who don't attend mt.
5:56 pm jeffkorhan: Well everyone, given that it's taking Twitter/Tweetchat 5 minutes to post...thank you for joining the chat. [Moderator] #engage365
5:57 pm tommorrison: #engage365 SM is a communication technology and shouldn't be looked at as a ROI benefit. It should be a means of connecting more membs.
5:57 pm CTres: @tommorrison What about SM platforms that create interactions? e.g. Foursquare at CES #engage365
5:57 pm chrisuschan: @tommorrison do you believe this has positive impact on member retention? how do you know? #engage365
5:57 pm chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan thanks for deciding to go for it on 4th down (not punting) #engage365
5:58 pm jeffkorhan: RT @tommorrison: #engage365 SM is a communication technology and shouldnt be looked at as a ROI benefit. Its connecting members. #engage365
5:58 pm tommorrison: #engage365 Our SM allows us to connect with members in ways we never could have before which increases our opportunities for retention
5:59 pm jeffkorhan: RT @chrisuschan: Too funny! #engage365
6:01 pm chrisuschan: @tommorrison I believe SM makes a difference if used effectively... just wondering how others are finding, measuring success #engage365
6:01 pm tommorrison: #engage365 I'm a believer orgs need to move towards a private SM Network. The public Ntwks should support your efforts..
6:02 pm chrisuschan: thx everyone for the small chat! i have a appt to run to #engage365
6:02 pm tommorrison: #engage365 We launched our priv network and have awesome analytics that allow us to measure and target market to gain further penetration
6:05 pm maggielmcg: RT @tommorrison #engage365 I'm a believer orgs need to move towards a private SM Network. The public Ntwks should support your efforts <me 2
6:06 pm tommorrison: #engage365 Public social networks will not be your friend over the long hall.... They are in it for them not you and your members...
6:07 pm maggielmcg: There's a difference btwn using social media for marketing and using online social networking tools to extend member community #engage365
6:11 pm maggielmcg: @chrisuschan FB's lack of business plan has nothing to do with why assns will find best ROI with private socnets--2 diff issues #engage365
6:11 pm MissLynn13: @maggielmcg I would say that you can use public tools to create a community & that u r more likely 2 find unexpected influencers #engage365
6:13 pm maggielmcg: @MissLynn13 I agree--going to private platform doesn't replace public presence; for us they serve diff purposes & we need both. #engage365
6:28 pm yourmembership: RT @maggielmcg: RT @tommorrison #engage365 I'm a believer orgs need to move towards a private SM Network. The public Ntwks should support your efforts <me 2
