How to Monitor Your Social Media Presence

In order to effectively execute your social media management for your jewelry business, you need to have tools in place to actually measure your online social media presence and gauge your success. This means that you need to have clear goals for your social media marketing campaigns, and know what kinds of metrics you are looking at.

The most popular social media sites have already taken steps to provide luxury jewelry brands and other businesses with a number of self-contained tools for social media management.

Analytics

Twitter and Facebook analytics are both easily accessible from your social media home page tabs. These sites generally provide surface level statistics, such as the number of engagements received on individual posts, shares, geographic's and more. This is useful information if you are trying to gauge the size of your current audience and learn which posts get the most attention. 

Mentions

Another form of social media management involves scouring the web for mentions of your company. Software like Mention and BrandWatch allows you to search for your brand name and discover what people are saying about you online. Mention primarily relies on popular social media sites to gather data, while BrandWatch delivers into forums and other online platforms to give you a more complete data set. You can also use them to research your competitors and see how you compare. 

Managing Your Efforts

In addition to built-in tools and research oriented tools, there are several ways to consolidate all of your social media management tasks into a single dashboard. Cyfe is a program that lets you pick and choose from a variety of metrics to build a personalized monitoring setup. Hootsuite and Buffer are both tools which allow you to log into Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and more from a single account, and to schedule and monitor your social media posts on all of them.
