  • Patent number: 10360582
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for analyzing return on investment (ROI) for social commerce interactions. User data associated with a target group of social media users is collected and processed to generate a first set of social commerce metrics. The user data comprises a first set of social media interaction data corresponding to a first set of social commerce interactions with the target group of social media users. The user data is further processed to generate a second set of social commerce interactions, which are then performed. The performance of the second set of social commerce interactions generates a second set of social commerce interaction data, which in turn is processed to generate a second set of social commerce metrics. The first and second sets of social commerce metrics are then processed to generate social commerce ROI metrics.
