To keep up with the today digital pace is a challenge which every marketer is facing by doing brand messaging.

Also it is not necessary anymore to wait for days, weeks or months to get an idea how brand messaging work and if the recent results are going into the right direction.

By taking the advantages of social media into account marketers have the opportunity to get unfiltered real time feedback from their audience about the impact of their brand messaging. Also they have the opportunity to refine their brand messaging in real time by carefully listening to their audience and offer buyer persona tailored information to make their brand outstanding.

This messaging can be improved online in real time and on daily base to lead the messaging towards the company goals.

Brand marketers need to move beyond campaign mode and post campaign measurement and take advantage of real time feedback and metrics on brand messaging performance.

The first question which marketers face to answer is: How far is the reach of my brand messaging?

To get an idea you need to know some metrics about social media and sharing.

  • LinkedIn
  • Each LinkedIn user has an average of 60 connection and messages there are shared on average 0.3 times.
  • Facebook
  • Each Facebook user has an average of 130 friends and messages there are shared on average 0.65 times.
  • Twitter
  • Each Twitter user has an average of 300 followers and messages there are shared on average 1.5 times.

 

Calculation example “Facebook”

When your company Facebook page has 1000 likes, it means your messages are visible on these 1000 peoples wall as well in the moment when they are published on yours.

We have learned that an average Facebook user has 130 friends.

Your potential brand message reach: 1000 (Likes) x 130 (each one of them) = 130,000 – 1000 (Likes) = 129,000 (possible additional people to see your brand message)

We have also learned that an average Facebook user shares a message on average about 0.65 times. This could increase your visibility to additionally 83,850 people. Your estimated brand messaging reach could be 212,850 people.

  1. I’m not quite sure where you get your numbers from, but according to statistics, only 16% of your fans see your page updates. So your estimates are a little off (your page with 1,000 fans only reaches 160 people with each post at best).

    By the way, was that an intentional typo in the title? 🙂
