		<description>ROI can of course be measured, as long as you are clear on why you are doing it in the first place, and have a metric to measure this. The challenge is using metrics which allow you to compare different interventions, between your own different tactics, but also with your peers and competitors.</description>

		<description>If we agree that determining the ROI of social media is a necessary evil to making intelligent marketing decisions, then how do we measure it? Therein lies the problem.</description>

		<description>You said it Nancy: one must define what her GOAL is with using social media. 

I think that&#039;s where a good bit of confusion sets in and people assume there isn&#039;t any way to measure ROI with using social media. You have to know where you&#039;re at and where you want to be to measure progress. That applies to any aspect of life.

Here&#039;s an article that gives 35 examples of possible metrics to focus on for the elusive &quot;engagement&quot; factor: http://econsultancy.com/blog/4887-35-social-media-kpis-to-help-measure-engagement

Thanks for broaching the elephant in the room, Nancy :) I think that as we keep talking about metrics, we&#039;ll find more obvious ways of measuring success with SMM.</description>

		<description>Social media is more for building brand loyalty and awareness not directly for sales.
I have found that traffic from social media sites in general don&#039;t lead to high quality visitors.</description>

		<description>We have used Social Media Marketting in the past. Because the product we offer is so specific to a certain market we have found Social Media is more aimed at the general market. Our best promotion involved a competition and the great thing was a lot more visitors were involved. Even though it did not create a direct affect, it did create some brand awareness for us.</description>
