Businesses around the world are catalyzing sales, amplifying brand awareness and differentiating from competition all through social listening.
Yet thousands dismiss social listening due to lack of knowledge or belief. This blog will explain why they are wrong:
Technically social listening is defined as “software which archives online conversations providing brands with information and the means to track and analyze their online presence.”
However we like to take a simpler spin on it: “using technology to track and find what is being said online”.
The best way to explain social listening is by listing the things it can be used for. Here’s a run through of what some of the world’s largest brands are doing with their listening tools.
Comparing mentions of Premier League competitors over the last 7 days.
Comparing Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavors over time.
Negative mentions of Apple increasing during the #bendgate crisis.
