Social Listening
Social listening is especially important for brands in markets like China, where there are significant risks of an online PR crisis and netizens are used to rapid responses and direct communication with brands. As your brand grows in the market, the more important social listening becomes.
Social listening allows you to document, analyze and understand what’s being said about your brand and your business online. It also allows you to track what’s being said about your competitors and your industry.
Careful analysis of online commentary related to your brand can reveal insights and lead the way to an enhanced marketing strategy, a deeper social media presence and improved brand awareness.
There are few tools that operate across platforms so a variety of techniques and instruments are needed to encompass different platforms like WeChat, Weibo, Douyin, RED, on news sites and more. There are also lots of bots and fake followers (shuijun), so things have to be checked manually as well.
Don’t lose the chance to know and interact with your fans and consumers on a deeper level.
