But…. didn’t you say it wasn’t about the numbers?
We were anxious to ensure everybody participating in the #smsmhealth event in Leeds yesterday that we were concerned with starting conversations, and that this didn’t really have a return on investment that could be measured, much as it is hard to prove the return on investment for having a mobile phone- but that we KNOW it’s useful!
We aimed to get involved in social media for several very valuable reasons not tied to any kind of analytics:
- to improve our own mental health,
- to provide more appropriate mental health services,
- to build communities of interest around mental health
- and promote wellness throughout the city,
But I couldn’t resist sharing some basic analytics with you, to show what the immediate impact after the event was.
Tweetreach is a great tool for measuring just how many people may have read your Tweets, the freemium version (used here) draws results from the last 50 Tweets, it would be interesting to know the impact of the total 266 Tweets I have measured to date. We can see that from 4pm yesterday, about the time the event ended, there were conversations being had on Twitter which are continuing into the next day.
How many people would usually attend a health organisation or voluntary sector charity open day or engagement event? 50? 100? perhaps 300 people for the largest events?
For some organisations and for some managers, showing the value of events centred around social media might include using some of these kinds of analytic tools- personally, I don’t think they capture the true value of relationship building through conversations, but it is clear to see whether an event has an impact through considering them, if you wish, alongside other feedback that you might regularly receive.
How many people were involved or observing the conversations we were having in social media? Do you expect similar numbers to a physical event? Would you multiply the number? If so, by how much? What do you think affects the impact of events like this?
Prepare to be pleasantly surprised.
There’s a lot of information there, and here are some of the points that strike me straight away.
- The conversation has continued late into the night after the event.
- There are more conversations happening the next morning, when both my blog was published and other people are reflecting on the event and sending messages of thanks to the organisers.
- A couple of influential ReTweeters can make a huge difference to the impact of your event.
- It is important to cultivate the skills and talents of people who share your interests, partly to gain from their ability to “signal-boost” your event.
- Lots of the most influential RTs come from people not physically present at the event.
- Lots of people have had access to the information and the impact of the event presented to them multiple times through their networks (the number of accounts reached is less than half the total number of impressions).
And, just as a bonus, here is a handy archive of the Tweets on the day and immediately after, so you can grab any resources that were mentioned that you forgot to look up at the time.

I am an Occupational Therapist, who writes about health, particularly mental health. I am interested in social media and Web 2.0, and where these technological advances can support wellness and health.

Dear Claire,
I have been trying to get a message to you but am not sure if you received it.
It is about a health commons seminar that I am organising. It would be wonderful if you could join us somehow. I realise it may be difficult to come to London but maybe we can connect virtually somehow, before the event, during it and afterwards.
Socialmedia will be such an important part of future healthcare for all of us. I love your passion for it.
What do you think?
here is a link to the event:

with warm wishes

Hi Anna,
I’ve received the messages about the event, thank you. The commons project is very interesting, but the language and the discourse around this project seems very linked with the New Age movement, and a lobbying effort to provide more alternative therapies as health interventions.
I’m not sure that I really agree with these aims, although I do support the right of people to access health interventions according to patient choice, I must also be guided by an evidence base that clearly shows that some of them are actively harmful to patients, and as a health professional “first, do no harm” is a very important maxim. The provision of health interventions by the commons in health hasn’t yet developed guidelines about this. This website is an easy primer with lots of examples where alternative medicine has resulted in harm to people who in many cases rejected live-saving conventional (allopathic) medicine. http://whatstheharm.net/
I would need more assurances that these incidences are acknowledged and that the commoning of health was more evidence based to attend the event, but thank you very much for the invitation.
Disclosure: I did work as a complementary therapist for some time before training as an occupational therapist.
