Do you know who’s following you? Socially, of course. Well, you ought to! Many of us have a huge number of fans and followers, and yet for the life of us can’t figure out where they go when you send out a Tweet, update or post. Are they real, or are you not offering them what they are looking for from you? Any kind of marketing depends on ensuring that you’re matching message to market, and your social media is not any different. You just have to have an understanding of whom you are speaking with and what interests them.
How do you measure social media demographics?
The usual tools to discern the demographics of your audience (Compete, Quantcast, etc) aren’t quite up to the task yet of measuring the critical data that makes up your social audience. Thankfully, for all of us, many new tools are sprouting up as we speak to assist us to gauge the likes, dislikes and trends of our followers and fans.
Three of our favorite new tools!
Here are three we like right out of the gate.
