Category Analysis

Social Media Insight Drives Smarter Marketing Decisions

The social web presents the tremendous potential to produce valuable consumer, market, and competitive analysis – about your brand and also your product category. However, the volume of data—millions of posts every hour—and high levels of “noise” makes it difficult to find relevant information quickly and to transform that unstructured information into meaningful, actionable insights.

Turn social chatter into actionable insights

Applying the NetBase enterprise social intelligence platform to category analysis gives brand managers and executives a simple way to understand what’s going on — with metrics that illustrate changes to customer perceptions or competitive differentiation in a category and deeper brand attribute analysis that explains why. As a result, they can:

  • Anticipate and accelerate responses to changing consumer perceptions or brand threats
  • Make better decisions about product messaging, pricing, or marketing campaigns with a clear picture of the key attributes influencing customer decisions
  • Innovate confidently by knowing your customers’ needs

Finally, you have a practical way to do category analysis with social data

Using NetBase for social media category analysis means that business analysts can extract actual consumer perceptions from terabytes of social media commentary – instantly and on-demand – without investing hundreds of hours in manual work. Before NetBase, the “state-of-the-art” social media analysis took at least four weeks and cost tens of thousands of dollars; our customers have been able to get the same results in a matter of hours. What makes this possible?
