Understanding Social Media ROI

Return on Investment (ROI):
This metric indicates the profitability of your campaign. A positive ROI means the campaign generated more revenue than it cost, while a negative ROI indicates a loss.

Engagement Rate:
This metric shows the percentage of impressions that resulted in engagements. A higher engagement rate indicates that your content resonated well with your audience.

Cost Per Engagement (CPE):
This metric indicates the average cost for each engagement. A lower CPE suggests that your campaign is efficient in generating interactions.

Click-Through Rate (CTR):
This metric shows the percentage of impressions that resulted in clicks. A higher CTR indicates that your content is effective in driving traffic.

Industry Benchmarks for Social Media Campaign ROI

Note: These benchmarks are indicative and may vary based on the campaign’s complexity, audience targeting, and specific industry trends. Always consider your unique business model and target audience when comparing against these benchmarks.

Practical Example

Scenario:

• Revenue from Social Media Campaign: ₹500,000 
• Total Campaign Cost: ₹100,000 
• Total Engagements: 50,000 
• Total Impressions: 1,000,000 
• Total Clicks: 10,000

Calculation:

ROI: [(500,000−100,000)/100,000]×100=400%

This means the campaign generated four times the revenue compared to its cost.

Engagement Rate: (50,000/1,000,000)×100=5%

This means 5% of the impressions resulted in engagements.

CPE: 100,000/50,000=₹2

This means each engagement cost ₹2.

CTR: (10,000/1,000,000)×100=1%

This means 1% of the impressions resulted in clicks.

Interpretation:
The campaign was highly profitable with a 400% ROI. The engagement rate and CTR are also strong, indicating effective content and targeting. The CPE suggests that the campaign was cost-efficient in generating interactions.
