How Futuramo Uses Social Media Monitoring?

The company uses social media monitoring mainly in three areas: marketing, sales and customer service.

To communicate internally, Futuramo uses Slack which makes a perfect combo with the Slack integration from Brand24.

The Slack integration allows collecting all online mentions in a dedicated Slack channel in real time — this way, guys and girls at Futuramo see new mentions about their business the moment they appear online.

This is how they are first to reach out to a potential customer and close the deal. The same happens when it comes to customer service. Customers these days expect a lightning-fast reaction from companies and with social media monitoring one can spot customers seeking assistance all over the web in to time.

There’s no need to check social media profiles or comments sections one by one — all mentions from all across the web arrive into one place.

We’re big fans of the Slack integration. Apart from Futuramo, we use Slack for internal communication, so this feature was a game-changer for us. Having all the mentions tucked into one Slack channel speeds up makes it so much easier to hear about the latest activities.

Thanks to the integration, all mentions are also accessible to other people at Futuramo — including the CEO and other team members who can respond to mentions if needed.

Social Media KPIs

The marketing department uses social media monitoring to track social media KPIs.

It’s important to note that a big number of companies has problems with tracking social media KPIs.

There are at least two reasons for this:

  • Companies are unaware of social media metrics they can track
  • They don’t have the right tools to do so

Social media monitoring comes to rescue here.

Some social media metrics inside Brand24 that Futuramo tracks include:

  • Volume of mentions
  • Volume of interactions (shares, likes, retweets)
  • Social media reach

We immediately saw that this tool is really working. Once our campaigns have finished, we were able to properly measure the viral effect, the number of mentions, get in touch with influencers and prepare better for the next events.

A considerable part of Futuramo’s marketing efforts is devoted to building engagement around their tools. With a social media monitoring tool that provides real-time mentions, they can actively engage social media posts and conversations about relevant services.

Social Selling

Secondly, the company uses Brand24 to identify and approach potential customers.

Thanks to social media monitoring, Futuramo is able to find consumers looking for solutions Futuramo offers.

Brand24 leads us to people who are on the lookout for team collaboration platforms, productivity apps, time trackers, bug tracking tools, etc. If we know that our product can solve someone’s problem, we suggest it immediately.

Social selling is a relatively new sales technique but proves to be extremely effective. It’s based on finding and approaching consumers that are already interested in a product or service a company offers.

Here are some interesting stats from LinkedIn:

  • 78% of sales people using social media perform better than their peers.
  • 64% of sales teams that use inbound social selling reach their quotas.
  • 90% of top sales people use social selling tools.

Customer Service

Also, social media monitoring gives Futuramo the opportunity to spot customers seeking assistance all over the web.

With the help of social media monitoring, the company can easily find all customers seeking assistance online. What’s important, a social media monitoring tool like Brand24 finds mentions all across the web, also outside the social media channels the company controls.
