Data Warehousing Social Media Data falls into the CRM Category.
Why did we pick this topic?
• Least Understood– Listening is common in today’s Corporate environment
– Customer Support is readily understood and increasingly common in Social
– Social Campaigns are tricky but the concepts are fairly straightforward – even traditional
– Everyone is talking about CRM, but few get into the ‘how’ aspect
• Potentially Most Impactful– Direct, Personalized communication in-channel is nearly always
more impactful than “broadcast” campaigns of ANY type.
Why CRM?
7
Social CRM can drive:
• Marketing Impact– Nothing is more personal (and powerful) than
driving specific messages to the channels where people live.
• Channel Growth– Growing Social Channels is easier when you can
identify existing customer relationships who live in that channel.
• Relationship Depth– Every additional touchpoint between you and
your customers deepens the relationship and increases retention. AND Potential word of mouth!
Social CRM is Important
8
Social CRM has numerous technical challenges:
• Key Linking – Customers don’t live by your identity in the
Social World – and even keys like email address aren’t common.
• Data Capture– Social channels generate STAGGERING amounts
of information. So…How do you find the stuff your customers are doing? And saying?
• Data Modeling– Social interactions are textual - but there are
too many to be read. How do you classify them for actual use?
Data Warehousing is Key to Social CRM
The Warehouse & Types of Social Data
10
If you’re used to Marketing Analytics and SaaS solutions, you have some “ah-ha” or perhaps some “oh-no” moments coming:
• Cost & Cycle Time– Customer Data Warehouses (CDWs) are often bulky and expensive. Making
small changes can seem like a BIG deal.
• Data Quality– CDWs are a vital corporate asset. They are treated accordingly. You can’t
move questionable or incomplete data into the warehouse.
• Customer is KEY– CDWs are aptly named. Data must TIE one-to-one to a Customer Record.
Warehousing : Some Key Constraints
11
There’s more than one kind of Social Media Data – each with it’s own challenges and opportunities:
• Level 1: Company Social– Reviews, Likes, Community Reg.on YOUR properties.
• Level 2: Channel Usage– The Channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) that
the Customer uses.
• Level 3: Identify/Handle– The “name” of your customer in a particular Channel.
• Level 4: Interests, Topics & Sentiments– What they write about (especially when they write
about your company)
• Level 5: Influence– How “big” are they “in-channel” (quanity, who they
know, etc.)

Company-Owned Data describes a Customer’s Social Relationship to you.

Recency

Channel-Usage is typically either a set of flags (Yes-No) or a measure of frequency.
• Customer Uses Channel (Y/N)– Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Blog, etc.
• Recency / Frequency– Social usage is sometimes ephemeral. Tracking Most
Recent Update Date is beneficial. A combined RF Score would be ideal.
– A Frequency Measure is a powerful addition (# of updates tracked)

• Connections– How many linkages does the Customer have in-channel?
