How does brand monitoring work?
Brand monitoring refers to the act of keeping track of mentions of your product on various platforms to learn how it is viewed. You'll gather data, examine it, and put what you've discovered from keeping an eye on your mentions into practice.
Being both proactive and reactive are both parts of brand monitoring. Being proactive entails paying attention and using what you learn to shape your decisions going forward. Making a profile and creating content on Tik Tok, for instance, if you notice that your customers are increasingly talking about your brand there, is being proactive. Reactivity is the act of responding and interacting with your viewers and those who are watching you right now. Being reactive on Twitter might include responding to both favourable and unfavourable tweets about your business. By combining the two, brand monitoring enables you to actively influence how your audience perceives your brand while also listening to and learning from them.
Brand monitoring requires an all-encompassing strategy. Look at the positive, negative, and ugly. Don't just focus on the positive remarks. Negative mentions might end up being the most useful for highlighting areas in which your brand can grow.
