Revenues =
Impact x Reach x Yield
* We look at changes before program versus estimates of expected after results.
Formula for Revenue Gain
Influenced convos
10
Impact
Impact = Positive sentiment x Listening Rate= 42% x 10%= 4.2%
11
Reach = Extent of online footprint
Reach = 1,380,000 convos in previous 6 months= Avg of 230,000 per month
= 5,000 posts/mo on website+ 23,000 other convos/mo across web (blogs, tweets, etc).
= 28,000 convos/mo= 168,000 add’l convos total for 6 mo
12
Influence factor
= Impact x Reach
= 4.2% x (168,000 convos)= 7,056 influenced convos for 6-mo period.
* Influenced convos = # of impacted, add’l convos.
13
Yield
Add’l sales= (Rev/convo) x (# Influenced Convos)= $56.52 x 7,056 convos= $398,805
14
Costs
People costs = $49,000 for employees for 6 mo
Process costs= $163,000 for agency for campaign
Technology= 60,000 community solution
Total costs = $272,000
15
ROI = (Gains - Costs)/Costs x 100
= ($398,805 - $272,000)/($272,000) x 100
= 47%
ROI Formula
16
Registered users = 38,700 (29% higher)
