Social Media ROI is Tough to Measure

Return on social media investment is tough to measure, which should hardly be surprising. Any firm using multiple marketing and sales channels will have a tough time determining the relative impact of any single one of the channels, for example. 


Practitioners also measure what can be measured, which is not the same thing as a direct measurement of return, but only a proxy for such returns. It's still partly art, not fully science. But all marketing is equal parts art and science.
