Powering insights through social media listening Quality Data Collection • Social media research requires extreme care during data collection because brand names often have multiple uses • Tide Data Collection – Data were collected only if they contained the word “Tide” in association with at least one relevant concept • E.g., wash, laundry, detergent, powder, clean, soap, dirty, bleach, ultra, procter, gamble, coldwater, high efficiency, dryer, smell, rinse, prewash • Tide Data Rejection – More than two hundred other criteria were still used to discard data which met the inclusion criteria but were not relevant • E.g., rip tide, stem the tide, turn the tide, tubes tide, ride the tide, tide sports, tide me over, afternoon tide, English tide • Competitive brands required similar care – ‘Gain’ and ‘Cheer’ are common verbs that also required diligent data quality work Some of the concepts contained in this presentation are the property of Conversition Strategies.

Powering insights through social media listening Quality Sentiment Analysis • The sentiment system was fine-tuned for the laundry category to ensure that the brand names being researched did not inadvertently improve or worsen the sentiment scores • Tide Stain Release: The word ‘stain’ could erroneously lower the sentiment towards this SKU even if consumers are satisfied with it. (e.g., Tide Stain Release works great on all kinds of stains!) • Tide Free & Gentle: The words ‘free’ and ‘gentle’ are positive words which could improve the sentiment towards this SKU even if consumers are dissatisfied with it. (e.g., Tide Free & Gentle ruined my shirt.) Some of the concepts contained in this presentation are the property of Conversition Strategies.
