  • Sort your search by social media sentiment analysis
  • Going through the social media mentions of your brand/product is the very basic process for digital marketing. It often gets time-consuming and requires tremendous efforts to draw conclusions from the search results. But if you know, what you are looking for, things get easy and fast. For instance, your company has launched a new product and you wish to know how people respond to a particular feature of the product. You can set any specific feature of that product as your keyword and look for the sentiments attached to it. This approach saves a lot of time and you can drill down to exactly what is going to help you in the given circumstances.

  • Make comparisons
  • The overall context varies with the ever-increasing social media mentions. Always, keep the record of all the social media sentiment analysis reports ever tracked for a campaign, event or a product launch. Weighing them against each other portrays a clearer picture to plan the strategy for an upcoming event. If a video campaign gets more positive sentiments than a print ad for the marketing of certain type of product, you know what sells when you are planning a similar product launch again. Knowing the type of response received by a particular campaign nearly sorts out the brainstorming to planning the upcoming ones.
  • Carry out competitive analysis
  • Create alerts to monitor your competitors. Measure the sentiments for them in the similar manner you do it for your own brand. Keep the record of their social media sentiment analysis reports as well and track their progress. Look out for generating some inspirations from their positive mentions and lead generation opportunity from their negative mentions. Once, you find a lead, carefully make a move and offer what you think you can provide better than your competitors.
