When it comes to staying on top of social media, one of the big challenges we have is to find the social media tools that will help us achieve a happy medium between curating, listening, engaging and producing content. You can syndicate your blog posts to Facebook via your RSS feed. And this fits the bill.

The quicker the response, the happier the complainer and the more impressed the social media listeners are. Give them a private way to stay in touch (so they can voice their concerns to their new friend on the inside as opposed to using social media). What’s your social currency? But not really.

While we all fret about the RoI from social media marketing, there seems to be little concern over how we close loop our social media marketing efforts. The real RoI from social media (buzz or viral effect, thought leadership or engagement) can be achieved effectively if we also focus on Close Looping our campaigns.

While there are unquestionably many ways that social media marketing results can be measured , the debate rages on as to whether it’s truly possible to quantify the ROI from these activities.
