Social media has become an integral part of marketing strategies for businesses of all sizes.
However, measuring the success of social media campaigns can be challenging. A business needs to be able to track the right metrics to determine the effectiveness of their social media campaigns. One way to do this is by using financial KPI’s.
In this blog, we will discuss how you can use financial KPI’s to measure the success of your social media campaigns.
What are financial KPIs?
Financial KPI’s are metrics that measure the financial performance of a business. These metrics are used to track revenue, expenses, profits, and other financial aspects of a business. Financial KPIs are essential for businesses to make informed decisions about their finances.
But how can a business use financial KPI’s to measure the success of its social media campaigns? Businesses can use the following KPI’s to measure the success of their social media campaigns:
- Revenue generated:
One of the most important financial KPIs for measuring the success of social media campaigns is revenue generated. Businesses can track the revenue generated from social media campaigns to determine the return on investment (ROI) of their campaigns. This can help them identify which campaigns are generating the most revenue and which ones need improvement. - Cost per acquisition (CPA):
Another important financial KPI for measuring the success of social media campaigns is the cost per acquisition (CPA). This metric measures the cost of acquiring a new customer through social media campaigns. Businesses can use this metric to determine the effectiveness of their campaigns in generating new customers. - Customer lifetime value (CLV):
Customer lifetime value (CLV) is the total amount of revenue a customer is expected to generate over their lifetime. Businesses can use this metric to determine the long-term value of their social media campaigns. By tracking CLV, a business can identify which campaigns are generating the most valuable customers. - Cost per click (CPC):
Cost per click (CPC) is the amount of money a business pays for each click on their social media ads. Businesses can use this metric to determine the effectiveness of their social media ads. By tracking CPC, businesses can identify which ads are generating the most clicks and which ones need improvement. - Conversion rate:
Conversion rate is the percentage of website visitors who take a desired action, such as making a purchase or filling out a form. Businesses can use this metric to determine the effectiveness of their social media campaigns in driving conversions. By tracking conversion rate, a business can identify which campaigns are generating the most conversions and which ones need improvement.
Financial KPI’s are essential for measuring the success of social media campaigns. A business can use these metrics to determine the ROI of their campaigns, track the cost of acquiring new customers, identify the long-term value of their campaigns, measure the effectiveness of their social media ads, and track the conversion rate of their campaigns. By tracking these metrics, businesses can make informed decisions about their social media campaigns and improve their overall performance.
But the above can seem daunting to a business, especially to micro and smaller-sized businesses (where you are trying to be everything to everyone). And it can be even more daunting if you are not familiar with a social media platform and its tracking and reporting capabilities. And that is where the use of a marketing agency can come in handy.
And yes, sometimes the use of a marketing agency might seem costly, but don’t forget the cost of your and/or your staff’s time when trying to identify, measure and monitor these KPI’s.
