1 Define your goals

Before you start writing, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve with your communication. What is the purpose of your message? Who is your target audience? What action do you want them to take? How will you know if they understood and responded to your message? By defining your goals, you can align your writing style, tone, format, and content with your desired outcomes. You can also set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) objectives to track your progress and results.

Analyzing feedback, comments, and responses from the audience aids in understanding their perceptions and interpreting the effectiveness of the communication. Monitoring conversion rates, if applicable, can offer tangible evidence of the communication's ability to drive desired actions.

Before you put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), clearly defining your communication goals is crucial. It's like setting the destination before you start a journey. Ask yourself key questions: What's the purpose of your message? Who are you speaking to? What reaction are you aiming for? Crafting your message with these goals in mind is like drawing a map for your readers to follow. Setting SMART objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) is akin to placing signposts along the way, helping you track whether your message is guiding your audience as intended. It’s about ensuring your written words lead exactly where you want them to go.

La comunicación escrita SIEMPRE debe priorizar la claridad y la simplicidad en sus mensajes. Evitar jergas innecesarias o complejidades que puedan dificultar la comprensión por parte de tu público. En relación a este último punto, adapta tu estilo de comunicación según tu público objetivo. La forma en que te comunicas con colegas puede ser diferente de cómo te comunicas con clientes o socios comerciales.

2 Choose your metrics

When measuring the effectiveness of your written communication, you can choose from a variety of metrics, depending on your goals. These metrics can include the open rate (the percentage of recipients who opened your email or clicked on your blog post link), the read rate (the percentage of recipients who read your entire message or spent a certain amount of time on your page), the click-through rate (the percentage of recipients who clicked on a link, button, or call-to-action in your message), the conversion rate (the percentage of recipients who completed a desired action, such as signing up for a newsletter, downloading a report, or making a purchase), the feedback (comments, ratings, reviews, or testimonials that you receive from your audience), and sentiment analysis (evaluation of the emotions, attitudes, and opinions that your audience expresses in their feedback).

A detailed example of Open rate in B2B sector is when emails are sent(using Mail Chimp or Constant Contact software), and out of 1,000 recipients, 750mails are opened. This indicates that the written content is compelling or engaging and relevant to the audience.

Una métrica básica dentro de la comunicación escrita es la tasa de respuesta y participación. Puede aplicarse a correos electrónicos o encuestas. Una alta tasa puede indicar que los mensajes son relevantes e interesantes para la audiencia. Otra métrica que puedes usar es el tiempo de respuesta. Evaluar cuánto le toma a los destinatarios responder a los mensajes escritos te puede dar una idea de la efectividad en tu comunicación escrita. Un tiempo de respuesta rápido puede sugerir una comprensión clara y una comunicación efectiva. En el caso de correos electrónicos o en plataformas digitales, puedes analizar las tasas de apertura, clics y lectura. Esto proporciona información sobre la participación e interés de tu audiencia/destinatarios.

3 Use tools and platforms

To collect and analyze your metrics, you can use various tools and platforms to measure the effectiveness of your written communication. For example, email marketing software such as Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or HubSpot can provide data on open rate, read rate, click-through rate, conversion rate, bounce rate, and unsubscribe rate. Web analytics software like Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, or Matomo can offer insights on page views, visitors, sessions, time on page, bounce rate, conversion rate, and sources of traffic. Social media analytics software such as Hootsuite, Sprout Social, or Buffer can provide data on impressions, reach, engagement, clicks, shares, likes, comments, and followers. Text analysis software like Grammarly, Hemingway or ProWritingAid can give feedback on grammar, spelling, punctuation, vocabulary style tone and clarity.

Gerade die Analyse ist mit kostenfreien Tools extrem schwer. Natürlich liefern Google Analytics und auch die Search Konsole grundlegende Erkenntnisse. Aber die wirklich interessanten Daten kommen ja erst aus Tools wie Mention, Talkwalker, Brandwatch usw... Deren Preismodell kann mangels Wettbewerb leider oftmals nur als unversch?mt bezeichnet werden.

Dentro de mi experiencia, cuando he deseado incluir un enlace o "link" en mi comunicación escrita recurro a los reductores/acortadores de enlaces. Estas plataformas no solo te ayudan a lucir más profesional en tu comunicación escrita, además de evitar ocupar espacio o producir ruido visual en el mensaje, sino que también permite usar sus métricas. La mayoría de estas plataformas te permiten ver la tasa de clics, tasa de lectura, veces compartido y hasta los dispositivos en los que fue abierto el enlace, entre otros. La mayoría son herramientas gratuitas. No recomendaré uno en específico pues no me pagan por hacerles publicidad. Pero con buscar "acortadores de enlaces" encontrarás una variedad de plataformas que brindan esta herramienta.

4 Test and refine

Finally, to measure the effectiveness of your written communication, you need to test and refine your messages based on metrics and feedback. A/B testing is a great way to do this, as it involves creating two versions of your message with one variable changed, such as the subject line or headline. Surveys and polls can also be used to ask your audience directly for their opinions and preferences. Focus groups and interviews are great for gathering a small group of people and asking them in-depth questions about your message. By measuring the effectiveness of your written communication, you can improve corporate branding, achieve goals, as well as learn more about your audience.

Measuring the impact of your written communication is like tasting a recipe in the making. A/B testing serves as a taste test, comparing two flavors (message versions) to see which one hits the right notes. Surveys, polls, focus groups, and interviews are your feedback loop – the spice rack to adjust your recipe. This process of testing and refining is essential. It allows you to fine-tune your message, enhancing its appeal and effectiveness. By continuously gauging how your audience reacts, you can adapt and perfect your writing, ensuring it not only reaches your audience but resonates with them, thereby strengthening your corporate branding and achieving your goals.
