Expert Panel: The ROI of Social Media in Banking
Few topics are more controversial than the role of social media in banking, and the return on its investment. Bank and credit union CEOs want to hear about new loans and accounts, not new Likes and Followers. Is social media just a tool for PR and community outreach?
With so much energy devoted to content creation, how do financial marketers justify their efforts? How can social media be used to facilitate sales, answer people’s questions, and resolve service issues?
How do you manage your online reputation through ratings and reviews on platforms like Yelp!?
Attend this session to see how other financial marketers are getting their C-suite on board with KPIs that prove the value of social media.
