The Business of Social Media and Making the ROI Case No. It appears the strategy was lacking in functionality and thus the $200,000 was not a true profit. Cost may have played a part in not obtaining the profit margin expected along with not clearly identifying goals and objectives.
Danny Brown said there is true cost associated with implementing a social media adventure. You will want the following at the following cost; a social media strategist for ten hours per week and at one hundred dollars per hour, that $1,000 per week, $52,000. If you hire a community manager for minimum of thirty hours per week, it will cost sixty dollars per hours,
$93,600. You may need a Micro-site build, $15,000 (if not using existing platforms). And then there is a mobile application for $20,000-$150,000. And there is a continuous ongoing moderation and measurement using third party specialist at $30,000-$80.000 a year. The total cost per annual operation could be as high as $390,000. So, in short, you must have a great product in order to have a return on investment. If I shipped 100,000 defective parts from my business, I would use the same social media used to sell the product to immediately have a massive recall of the defective product. The cost would be absorbed by the company by either offering a refund or an exchange. The cost of a good reputation is priceless. Whereas, if I let it blow over without action, I may lose the customer base and the floor fall out of the business. I would also offer a public apology on the used social media, so that the customer would know I operate a sincere and honest business.
