The SM Measurement Matrix is pretty neat. If you’re able to add a quality component, even better.

I love it. Great stuff. No one can do what you do. Give it away! I’ve told all my LinkedIn Groups.
Wonderful Blog, too. You’re a leader, Leader.

Thanks Don! We’ve got a great team here of smart and savvy PR folks. They all contributed to the Social Media Six-Pack. Glad you found it useful. Thanks for sharing!
I actually have been doing some research on social media marketing and Facebook contests. You’re datasheets have some great ideas. I did notice though, in point 7 about Facebook
Requiring someone to ‘become a fan’ or ‘like’ your page in order to participate in a contest is a violation of the Facebook terms of service. Running a contest on FB has become a sticky subject… It’s such a good idea and I’m sure people are still doing it, but I would be aware that it could potentially get your FB page into trouble.
Hi Peter-
Thanks for the comment! We have actually been doing some research ourselves on Facebook contests and you are correct – there are many rules and restrictions on using Facebook to promote a content. My colleague Kate Lee recently wrote a great blog post that talks about these strict guidelines: http://www.techaffect.com/2010/08/26/my-company-wants-to-do-a-facebook-contest-%E2%80%93-now-what/
We created this tip sheet before we were aware of these regulations but plan on updating the information when we update our Social Media Success Series in the next few weeks.
Thanks again for the info!
