With millions of people sharing more information each day,
we are witnessing a shift in how information is being produced online as it
becomes more and more user-generated. The web is moving away from being a static
library and becoming a more open, more connected place to share content. There
are plenty of opportunities to mine new variables from the constantly
increasing expanse of social media data. Here are a few:
- For a college or non-profit organization’s advancement department, tapping into these variables can provide insight into how connected an individual is with the institution. If a constituent is following you (whether on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, or another forum), they are actively choosing to be connected to you, which conceivably may make them more likely to donate.
- In a college enrollment office, tracking which high school students have liked their Facebook page can give them an idea of students who are very interested in their institution. This information could be used to qualify prospects or to help shape the pool of students being marketed to.
- Brands looking to decide who to market to can analyze both the source and content of social media data to determine who might be most likely to buy a product or respond to a campaign.
Tracking and leveraging these data points has the potential to
add value to the predictive models you’re already building.
So, are you already leveraging your social media data into your
models, and if not, why not?
