Analyzing the success of a post-campaign involves reviewing key performance indicators (KPIs) rather than being narrow-focused on a single parameter. Consider the following:
1. Engagement Rate: Measure the number of interactions (likes, shares, comments, saved posts) on your social media posts. Engagement is a direct representation of how impactful your content was to your followers. Platforms like Flinque can help measure this.
2. Reach and Impressions: Reach means the unique viewers who saw the post, while impressions are how many times the content was displayed, regardless of clicks. A vast difference between the two could indicate how often people came across your content multiple times.
3. Social Growth: This is the measure of how many new followers, subscribers, or friends you have attracted to your social media profiles due to the campaign.
4. Click-Through Rate (CTR): This accounts for the percentage of people who clicked on the link provided in your campaign to your designated landing page.
5. Sales Conversions: If your campaign’s objective was to drive sales, tracking the number of purchases made due to your campaign can be a major indication of its success.
6. Brand Sentiment: Read the comments and communicate with your followers to understand their perception of your brand.
7. Influencer Feedback: Discussion with influencers about their experience collaborating with you can provide valuable insights.
These metrics provide a comprehensive understanding of your campaign’s success. Tools likeFlinque provide accurate campaign analytics that aid in tracking these parameters effectively, notwithstanding, each campaign is unique and may require different or additional metrics depending on your team’s specific goals.
Campaign success analysis is most useful when it produces two outputs — a verdict on whether this campaign met its objectives, and a ranked creator performance list that improves the next campaign’s shortlisting decisions. Analysis that produces only a verdict without creator ranking loses the most actionable intelligence the campaign generated. The metric set for analysis should match the campaign objective: awareness campaigns are evaluated on reach and impression quality; conversion campaigns on click-through and attributed sales; engagement campaigns on rate performance relative to creator baselines.
Produce a post-campaign engagement rate for every participating creator using the Instagram engagement rate calculator and compare it against each creator’s pre-campaign baseline. The resulting performance delta per creator is the most direct input available for future shortlisting — it tells you which creators lifted audience engagement above their normal baseline and which ones did not, based on verified data rather than impression.
