The Importance of Tracking Influencer Travel Stats for Campaign Success

Keeping track of statistics is crucial if brands want to avoid “hope” marketing. In today’s digital age we have a variety of tools at our disposal to track the success of a an influencer campaign. This is crucial in helping you decide whether to press ahead with future campaigns or to change strategy.

Key Metrics to Measure the Success of Your Social Media Campaign

1. Track Follower Growth: Measuring Campaign Impact on Social Media Reach

A like-for-like comparison of your brand’s follower count before and after the campaign can be a good measure of success.

2. Analyse Post Reach and Impressions: Key Indicators of Campaign Success

Has the campaign led to an increase in impressions on your social media posts? You can easily check this on the analytics section of your brand’s pages.

3. Engagement and Click-Through Rates: Tracking Interaction and Website Traffic

Have you seen an increase in comments and shares on your posts? Has there been a surge in traffic on your website? Ultimately, a good social media campaign should drive customers to your website. This can also improve your SEO by increasing website traffic, which can be tracked through Google Analytics.

4. Monitor Average Time Spent on Page: Understanding Visitor Behaviour

If you’ve asked an influencer to share a Google Analytics UTM link as part of the campaign you should be able to tell how long they’ve spent on your site after being referred from social media.

5. Measure Conversions with Bookings: Tracking ROI Through Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a godsend for measuring “conversions”. You can decide what counts as a “conversion” yourself e.g. clicking the “enquiries” button on your site. Then Google Analytics will track how many people meet this threshold after clicking a link shared by an influencer. This is the clearest way of tracking ROI from a campaign.
