Followerwonk - Funny Name, Good Insight

Pros

  • Graphical representation of data. Followerwonk does a good job of graphically representing the most active times for your followers. It makes it very easy to be able to make educated business decisions at a glance.
  • Connections with Buffer. The Marketing team utilizes Buffer to schedule social media posts and to analyze interactions with posts. Followerwonk seamlessly integrates with this tool to automatically schedule tweets with the most popular times. This is important for us because as our follower count grows, the usage trends may also change. Followerwonk allows us to stay in front of the most number of people possible.
  • Twitter segmentation. Followerwonk makes finding new, relevant users incredibly easy. By enabling a search feature that combs through Twitter profiles for keywords, I am able to find incredibly relevant users to follow.

Cons

  • I would like to see some additional social media channels other than Twitter.
  • It would be nice to be able to do additional drill-downs on sorted follower lists to help segment followers even further.
  • Having a real-time push to partner applications like Buffer and include some of the Followerwonk data in the Buffer reports.

Return on Investment

  • One initiative our team launched was a series of educational webinars. We have been able to add an average of six new leads per webinar because of social media. If the messages had been delivered at non-peak times, there would be less likelihood of success.
  • When it comes to social media, it's difficult to nail down specific ROI without referencing a specific campaign. However, our team has seen a consistent follower growth with increasing RT's and Favorites. I attribute this to the right content hitting the right people at the right time.
  • Our team has uncovered a number of valuable relationships with other Twitter users in our industry that have helped us increase the reach of our overall marketing message. These relationships were uncovered using Followerwonk's keyword search.

Get Twitter Smart with Followerwonk

Pros

  • Allows you to search for Twitter users based on a keyword or trait
  • Analyze anyone’s Twitter followers or the accounts they follow based on a variety of metrics
  • Track Twitter followers over time
  • Sort your followers or those you follow based on name, days on Twitter, tweet count, etc.

Cons

  • More Account viewing options on the track followers tab outside of yours and defined competitor's accounts
  • Improvements to the Bio Word Cloud of followers in the Followers tab

Return on Investment

  • Followerwonk has allowed us to give clients a way to be much more efficient with their time online, saving them money by allocating their time much more appropriately online. What they were able to do on Followerwonk in an hour would have taken them days and frankly wouldn't have been possible without the tool.
  • Followerwonk allowed us to help a client piggyback off of competitor's users to find new business quickly and really quite easily.
