Analytics Tracking - Is most of the data Ultraviolet ?

Geo-location tracking (must tie customer to Location)

Difficult to track – could do with camera, tie it up to face recognition but face big brother fallout if you do

Unique ID code tracked when a subscriber retunes receipt (coupon)

Google Analytics can track this part if set up correctly

Google Analytics can accurately record this part via ecom tracking if set up correctly

We need to think deeply on this and decide which Metrics and KPI’s actually are the right ones to track

Examples of Typical Business Goals (Business Objectives)

Business Goal Target

Marketing and Measurement Strategies should be very tightly aligned

(Hint: a Framework is needed)

Strategy and Data Need to Align closely– When the foundation of a house is not set just right – the walls crack.

Having the right Framework helps.

What we need is a New Approach

Aeros ML866. With its 64 meter long and 36 meter wide, this aircraft has top speed of 138 mph with range more than 3000 miles, it boasts some unique properties for a craft of its size including the ability to hover, take-off and land vertically, complete autonomy from airports, not to mention incredible aerial views

Using Real Time Data well, may require a Forensic approach not common for Social

New Set of Questions – New Paradigm for Social (real time) data

• What Measures do you want to track?

• What Decisions would you make differently if the one of the measures was surprisingly high or low?

• What is the threshold of the measure? In other words, at what point if the value was exceeded or dipped would an alternative action take place?

Example of a Tactical Conversation

• Client: Want to measure positive to negative ratio around the a new Android phone we are launching from Twitter, blog comments and Facebook.

Analyst: Very Interesting – Why do you want this information?

• Client: I want to know if the messaging and the blogger program is working or not, and if I should step up my marketing or add more than the 25 bloggers to the contest of the 2000 that entered.

Analyst: Ok, that’s great, but do you know how much negative buzz you would need to see before you would add more bloggers to the program?

Example of a Tactical Conversation• Telstra Client: Depends on a few factors. If we don’t see at least 75

tweets a week from bloggers on their posts and at least 300 Retweets from their followers in aggregate, we might want to double the number of bloggers in the program. Also, we may want to look at the posts our existing bloggers are writing, as perhaps need to give them something more interesting to talk about related to HTC Desire.

Analyst: Great! Lets try to nail down those triggers so we can build that into our analytics for you. [Triggers and Thresholds were then defined]

Ideally, this kind of conversation would lead to some defined actions and triggers that could be set up as Alerts. Real Time Data presupposes real time responses.
