Battle for Facebook Deal Dominance
I am not sure about you, but my wife and children keep on spamming my email with offers they’d like me to purchase with my money on their behalf! These offers tend to come either from Groupon or I Love Sydney Facebook pages which they have naturally liked! So I decided to have a look who is winning the battle of attracting fans – their ultimate goal of group buying as aggregation is is customers which means deals and money.
Clearly what is important to baseline is growth & engagement of fans over a period and not the volume per se as these two pages started at different times.
The 30 day statistics show:
Growth:
- Groupon 461 likes in 30 days (5.47% growth)
- I Love Sydney 5,430 likes in 30 days (5.56% growth)
Engagement:
- Groupon with 5.7% engagement factor (482/8,420) and 3.9 posts per day
- I Love Sydney with 0.52% engagement factor (798/152,367) and 6.2 posts per day
- Buzz diagrams for both included
Summary:
- Clearly I Love Sydney is the leader in terms of the volume of followers in Facebook and is growing at the same rate as Groupon
- Groupon is approaching and engaging their customers (i.e. having regular conversations) and being social
- If I Love Sydney doesn’t become social they could die a slow death? What is your view – do you want to have a say or just happy to be notified of a deal?
- The strength of Groupon is it seems (based on Buzz and wall) allow people to post to the Groupon wall and engage. I Love Sydney seems to only allow comments to their posts.
Note: the analysis focused on the last 30 days and a relative engagement compared to volume of Facebook fans – i.e. if Groupon had the same volume of fans their likes and comments (i.e. engagement) would be significantly higher than I Love Sydney.
Facebook Roller-coaster; have you bought a ticket?
So you missed #SMCSYD today and wondering what you missed? …personal my view would be not much – further comments here.
Ezra with his 124 followers summarised it well in two tweets.
So checking out Twitter has 503 Tweets and 890k impressions. As Paul mentioned (and some of you tweeted) the ability to extract Facebook analytics from Facebook is (and will be) limited.
The Buzz reflects the two main statements:
- Launch of “Deals” in Q2
- Additional (Foursquare like) features in “Check-ins”
The top Tweeters are listed below, however, as we all know it is about engagement, reach and voice. So outside of Gavin and Ezra volume doesn’t mean quality.
Which #Australian Bank has the greatest Voice on Twitter?
In researching the ATM #Fail in Commonwealth Bank I quickly thought of comparing the four banks use of Twitter.
First I found ANZ Bank to be non-existant in Twitter (closest I came was ASX_ANZ). So who is right here ANZ Bank? If you’re not in the game you have no voice…worse others become your voice! Enough said….
The assumptions I used were:
- Twitter Data over the past last year
- Australian Data Sources only
- Examined @Westpac @NetBank and @NAB
Clearly @NAB (58.8%) has the greatest Share of Voice. Note that this analysis excluded UBank!
1) Share of Voice (percentage)
2) Share of Voice (Tweet Volume)
3) Share of Voice (Timeline)
@iGo2Group uses a Social Media methodology to assess brands, customers, competitors, and partners. In so doing enabling corporations (and government) to apply SMART, Responsible and Integrated Social Media. This analysis is only a “toe in the water” and needs to be expanded accross the entire assessment methodology BEFORE strategy is applied.
We will examine the #CommBank #ATM Failure in our next post.
L.O.V.E. and DONATE: #qldfloods
L.O.V.E. and DONATE: #qldfloods
The World Cares! A recent post by @wbosma related to his experiences while he was caught in the #QLDFloods inspired me to research who cares!
Since 07 January 2011 there have been 139,204 tweets globally on Twitter mentioning the Queensland Floods. From the globe below you can see that the world cares.
The Buzz graph represents the key messages and conversations that are occurring on Twitter. This is a desperate appeal to donate and support the victims in a time of need through prayer, l.o.v.e and donations!
We might have lost the Ashes and still we have the English in Georgie Thompson (with her 68,349 followers); Rod Brydon (with his 314,588 followers); Rio Ferdinand (with his 405,611 followers) and Boy George (with 37,565 followers) …. even Kevin Petersen was tweeting a few seconds ago! All these UK celebrities supporting the cause to donate with 1,147 tweets from UK.
To @wbosma point Twitter most definitely has a place in just-in-time communication and in creating momentum/amplification around worthy causes!
