platforms. These tools will help them to obtain capabilities to recognize patterns in customer sentiment and measure their marketing and branding efficiencies. Amidst these potential benefits, there lie some drawbacks as well. Lack of a tangible Return on Investment (ROI) and its inherent complexity in use are two of the challenges faced during and after deploying social media analytics software and are widely mentioned by experienced users and analysts. This is where human intervention is required to interpret and analyze the data gathered. As a marketer, one can never rule out the inferences derived from offline discussions about their brands, products, and services. To get a complete picture, data from a mix of online and offline channels need to be analyzed.

The social media analytics market is fast gaining traction which is evident from the recent acquisition of EdgeRankChecker by Socialbakers, Dachis Group by Sprinklr, uberVU by HootSuite, Integrasco by Confirmit, and Kana by Verint, to name a few. Key players such as IBM, SAP, SAS, HP Autonomy, and Simply Measured offer social media analytics products and solutions for enterprises and Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs). There are players such as Attensity who with Collaborate.org have entered into a strategic partnership to develop customer intelligence on social media platforms.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The benefits for businesses from social media analytics are so apparent and undeniable that not considering the significance of social media monitoring and intelligence can prove to be fatal for brands. Digital or online engagement and social listening can impact the perception of customers and consequently affect developing a long-term relationship with them. Social media has the potential to develop a good image of brands as well as to bring serious damage to their image if brands do not meet the expectations of the customers.

Social media analytics facilitates in-depth customer understanding that empowers brands to bond, relate, and cultivate relationships with consumers in significant and genuine ways which can differentiate them from their competitors. This allows the brands to focus on the most profitable activities for the present and the future. Also, social media analytics takes businesses forward to a deeper understanding of the financial and operational impact of all the marketing initiatives undertaken. This in turn leads to the promotion of suitable customer- centric marketing and branding decisions and offers high answerability.

Sharing the insights obtained from social media data powered by social media analytics enables better customer-centric decisions across the complete business, and in turn increases the impact in other divisions such as Research and Development (R&D), sales, operations, customer service, and even IT.

Another important aspect of social media analytics is to filter social networking data to separate out the noise or the clutter or the irrelevant from the useful data which is initiated by prioritizing marketing or business goals followed by sifting through, aligning, and extracting valuable insights.

To reach and retain the maximum number of customers, brands should adopt a holistic approach wherein offline (call logs, transactions, customer service notes) as well as online or social media customer data are considered for analysis to obtain a cohesive, synthesized view of customer engagement. North America is expected to have the largest market share in the social media analytics market followed by Europe, owing to technological advancement in these regions. Companies
