What is Social Media?
Very hard to define with precise definitions
But, “I know it when I see it”
Ray Poynter, Marketing Research & Social Communication, 2015 4
• Facebook
• Twitter
• LinkedIn
• Blogging sites
• Video uploading sites
• Discussion & chat sites
What is Social Media Research?
Narrow Definition
• Quant and Qual
• Using naturally occurring
conversations to conduct
market research
• Usually the research is
into non-Social Media
topics such as
advertising, customer
satisfaction, brand
awareness etc.
Broad Definition
• Qual and Quant
• Everything in the narrow
definition
• Plus
– Research into social media
– Using social media to
recruit respondents
– Creating discussions and
tasks in social media
– MROCs and communities
Ray Poynter, Marketing Research & Social Communication, 2015 5
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
• Not based on artificial
questions, e.g. surveys
and focus groups
• Genuine conversations
between real people
• Not limited to the agenda
of brands and
organisations
• Answers questions that
were never asked
Weaknesses
• Not everybody uses
social media
• Are people who they say
they are?
• Only works for high
profile brands and topics
• Does not answer many of
the questions that brands
and organisations want to
ask

Editor's Notes

  • #13: Other sources included mumsnet
  • #37: Working with Accor, we have developed a Customer Satisfaction Index which looks at the percentage of positive versus negative sentiment verbatim published about a hotel each month. This is an easy way to benchmark each hotel’s customer experience with that of their four nearest competitors. We also synthesise the structured scores provided on third party review websites such as Booking.com and Expedia (which all use different scoring methods) into one score out of ten to enable clear benchmarking and measurement against customer satisfaction KPIs.
