What is brand engagement?
I'd love to give a one to three
description on what social media brand engagement is but I prefer giving you an
illustration.
In the simplest terms, brand engagement is a two-way
dialogue between brands and people. The
actual interactions differ on different social
media channels.
On Facebook
Engagements on Facebook include: Likes, Comments, Shares, Clicks on link and Clicks to open picture.
On Twitter,
Engagement consists of actions like:
@mentions, Retweets, Likes, @replies, Followers, Tweet impressions, reach, etc.
On other social media sites
(e.g. Google+, Pinterest, Instagram)
include: +1, Shares, Pins/repins, Comments, Favorites and Tags
Why should you care about brand
engagement?
Raising brand awareness and engagement
are primary objectives for B2B companies doing content marketing.
Sure, we all want more shares and
followers. But B2B companies aren’t spending money on content and social media
for vanity.
Focusing on vanity metrics as an end
goal is pointless. You can’t cash in your Facebook likes
and Twitter followers.
In addition to a big following, you
want one that’s actually engaged. By measuring brand engagement, you’ll know
what’s working and what’s not. Look at what drives people to engage, and
leverage those tactics more.
An Engaged Audience
Social media is great to interact and
engage with your customers.
Great brands engage in conversations
and deliver amazing customer experiences. The best and worst part about social
media is that everything’s public for anyone to see.
Happier Customer
A brand’s social interactions are
positively related to the brand’s website traffic. Think about it: if your
brand’s content isn’t engaging, a post linking to your site can easily go
unnoticed.
More Website Traffic
While you’re not on social media to give
your sales pitch, it can still bring you new business.
As brand awareness and targeted
website traffic increases, more people will be entering your sales funnel.
Social media is also home to many word-of-mouth referrals and conversations
that lead to sales.
