Today&#8217;s social strategy involves a comprehensive analysis of multiple key performance indicators. It\u2019s now more vital than ever to key in to the buyer journey in your social media, and understand the metrics throughout that journey.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear: your journey may look very different depending on your industry, business model, product, pricing, and audience. Some B2C customers, for example, spend very little time in the middle of the buyer\u2019s journey compared to B2B customers that require far more nurturing, engagement, and relationship development before a purchase is made.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Multi-Staged_Social_Media_Buyers_Journey\"><\/span>The Multi-Staged Social Media Buyer&#8217;s Journey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Too many leadership teams believe that social media is merely useful for building brand awareness organically or generating leads through paid efforts. In reality, the buyer journey on social media unfolds across five distinct stages, from awareness to advocacy, with specific metrics to help track our objectives at each phase. Social media offers abundant opportunities to forge relationships with your target audience and foster them even beyond the conversion point. Here\u2019s how this can translate into content strategy and metrics for each stage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Content_and_Key_Performance_Indicators_KPIs_for_Navigating_the_Buyer_Journey_on_Social_Media\"><\/span>Content and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Navigating the Buyer Journey on Social Media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Social media has unique metrics, and while some may already be known to you, others could be new discoveries. Either way, they&#8217;re likely to be key to gauging the performance of both your organic and paid strategies regarding the buyer journey on social media.<\/p>\n<h3>Awareness Content and KPIs<\/h3>\n<p>During the Awareness stage, prospective customers seek answers. That\u2019s your opportunity to become their guide on their journey via methods like video tutorials that demonstrate how your product resolves a common issue. <a href=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/what-is-social-media-automation\/\">Automating your social content posts<\/a> during this stage can pay real dividends.<\/p>\n<p>Besides tutorials, social media content types for this stage may include posts promoting informational blog posts, white papers, eBooks, webinars, product brochures, and checklists. For example, HubSpot often releases content on its platforms that promote informational blog posts and eBooks to increase awareness among potential customers.<\/p>\n<p>As the initial stage of the buyer journey on social media, awareness yields various metrics to gauge your outreach.<\/p>\n<p>On the organic side, these can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Likes<\/li>\n<li>Impressions<\/li>\n<li>Audience size<\/li>\n<li>Share of voice<\/li>\n<li>Video views<\/li>\n<li>Autoplay video views<\/li>\n<li>Photo or video post view clicks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the paid social side, these can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clicks<\/li>\n<li>Video views<\/li>\n<li>Cost per video view (CPV)<\/li>\n<li>Cost per thousand impressions (CPM)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20119\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20119\" style=\"width: 665px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-20119\" src=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dlvrit-hubspot-ebooks.jpg\" alt=\"A Twitter post by Hubspot promotes its e-book on Twitter for Marketing, Sales and Support.\" width=\"665\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dlvrit-hubspot-ebooks.jpg 950w, https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dlvrit-hubspot-ebooks-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dlvrit-hubspot-ebooks-768x506.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">As part of its social media strategy that targets the awareness stage of the customer journey, HubSpot uses Twitter to promote the release of its many eBooks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Consideration Content and KPIs<\/h3>\n<p>In the Consideration phase, customers explore their options more deeply. By presenting assets like case studies on your social platforms on a <a href=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/what-is-social-media-automation\/\">steady schedule<\/a>, you can position yourself as an industry expert and offer proven solutions.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to case studies, content types for this stage may include testimonials, customer spotlights, and demonstration videos. Salesforce, for example, uses customer testimonials and case studies to build credibility during the consideration stage.<\/p>\n<p>This stage aims to generate demand, with distinct metrics that reflect the prospect\u2019s more interactive actions.<\/p>\n<p>On the organic side, these can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shares<\/li>\n<li>Comments<\/li>\n<li>Saves<\/li>\n<li>Engagement rate<\/li>\n<li>Link clicks<\/li>\n<li>Website clicks<\/li>\n<li>Clickthrough rate (CTR)<\/li>\n<li>Video thru-plays<\/li>\n<li>Replay video views<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the paid side, this includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clickthrough rate (CTR)<\/li>\n<li>Cost per click (CPC)<\/li>\n<li>Cost per video view (CPV)<\/li>\n<li>Cost per lead (CPL)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Decision Content and KPIs<\/h3>\n<p>In the Decision stage, customers prepare to make a choice, and your role is to facilitate the decision through offers like free trials or demos.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond free trials and demos, content types for this stage may include discount offers, consultations, or quotes. As an example, Adobe often offers free trials of their products, facilitating the decision stage of the buyer journey.<\/p>\n<p>Here, different metrics will help you drive conversions of the decision stage.<\/p>\n<p>On the organic side, this includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Link clicks<\/li>\n<li>Page actions<\/li>\n<li>Social traffic<\/li>\n<li>Social conversions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the paid side, this includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Conversion rate<\/li>\n<li>Web conversions<\/li>\n<li>Return on Ad Spend (RoAS)\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_20120\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20120\" style=\"width: 684px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-20120\" src=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dlvrit-microsoft-webinars.jpg\" alt=\"In a Facebook post, Microsoft promotes a webinar for its advertising platform.\" width=\"684\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dlvrit-microsoft-webinars.jpg 950w, https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dlvrit-microsoft-webinars-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dlvrit-microsoft-webinars-768x445.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20120\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">As part of its marketing to the adoption stage of the buyer journey, Microsoft posts on Instagram to promote free webinars that enable customer adoption of their new products and features.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Adoption KPIs<\/h3>\n<p>Acquired customers are far from the end of their journey. In fact, they can serve as vital branding assets. Encouraging your customers to adopt new offerings from you and eliciting feedback from them can help solidify your branding while you fortify your relationship with them.<\/p>\n<p>Content types for this stage may include surveys, discount offers, free trials, consultations, quotes, exclusive e-books and webinars, and informational thought-leadership articles. Microsoft, for example, offers free webinars and exclusive eBooks to facilitate the adoption of their new products or features.<\/p>\n<p>Metrics in the Adoption stage measure customer\u2019s enhanced engagement on the way to the advocacy stage.<\/p>\n<p>On the organic side, these metrics can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brand mentions<\/li>\n<li>Average engagement<\/li>\n<li>Brand or product sentiment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Advocacy KPIs<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, the Advocacy stage aims to transform satisfied customers into loyal advocates for your brand.<\/p>\n<p>Content types for this stage may include personalized offers, and loyalty and affiliate programs.

When you establish buyer personas and integrate them into your buyer journey strategy, you can both tailor your social media content and refine your campaigns even further.<\/p>\n<p>Three essential steps can get you started on creating buyer personas:<\/p>\n<h3>Examine Your Current Customer Base<\/h3>\n<p>You can learn a lot about the ideal customer by using the customer data you already have. What do they have in common? Do they trend at all in terms of typical time it takes to purchase? Are they all solving the same pain points or desires? Write up a survey to gather information on your customers\u2019 behaviors, interests and problem. For more balance, as you interview your best customers to find out more, you could also even question a customer you had a bad experience with in order to find out where your approach fell short.<\/p>\n<h3>Group Customers by Similarities<\/h3>\n<p>After you study up on your customers, you can organize them into groups. Create just one or two personas to start to make it easier to group by the most common similarities. You can use lots of different criteria to segment your customers, including demographics, behavior, goals, pain points, or industry. The point here is to personalize content to these individual audiences, whether it\u2019s the vernacular you use in messaging or different cultural\/social information that correspond to the groupings.<\/p>\n<h3>Name Your Personas<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s easier to create content for buyer personas when you assign names to them. If you want to study up on regional differences, call them Midwest Max or Southwest Sam. In short, giving your personas explicit identities lets you better understand who you\u2019re speaking to as you create content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Different content types will resonate more effectively at varying stages of the customer journey. Consider the different stages and conditions your customers find themselves in, give them tangible persona identities, and craft content to make the most impact during their unique buyer journey in social media.<\/p>\n<p>Optimized content management is key to mapping the customer journey to your social media marketing strategy.\u00a0 When you use dlvr.it to automate your social content management and posting capabilities, you get a leg up on the competition. <a href=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/\">Learn how dlvr.it can help you track the journey effectively on your social platforms.<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s no longer nearly enough to simply track \u201clikes\u201d on your social media platforms.
