Slide 1: Measure Your Online Efficiency with Social Media Analytics Considered along the same lines such as business analytics, from the basic data management and BI to predictive analytics, social media analytics is in a developing state and yet advanced, as per a Deloitte Consulting analyst. According to John Lucker, the leader of Deloitte’s Advanced Analytics and Modeling practice, “From my perspective it's infantile--the mere fact that you have so many little start-ups, from my point of view, reflects that, many of these startups have good ideas, but their efforts haven't yet coalesced.” The technology for evaluating social networks is high-end today in applying the “big data” analysis methods. Certain scientists, in order to evaluate audience sentiment about a brand and predict consumer marketing trends and scopes, do this. However, the products to support these needs are still at the initial stage and the knowledge of putting the data to effective use is scarce. What is Social Media Data Social media data is slightly different than traditional web-based data, as people do not control how it got recorded or created on the web. A structure has to be imposed on it retroactively. Just to keep track of the number of times a company got a mention in social media needs immense computing horsepower. However, there are certain organizations that have surpassed the basics of historical reporting on social media data in order to come up with useful predictions. If truth be told, every business enterprise needs to put in some focus on social media and social media analytics. It is an essential tool for all social media campaigns in order to increase and measure their effectiveness. Social media analytics also provide a new dimension for estimating interactive marketing by incorporating, analyzing and allowing enterprises to respond to the social intelligence attained by broadening their reach, maximizing retention and generating more revenue.
