Consumer research
As with any form of marketing, you need to know your customer before you can market to them. Consumer research online is best performed by analyzing trends of your specific target audience.

Topsy is a free social media monitoring tool that gives an overview of what’s happening cross a variety of networks. Talkwalker is a similar service that goes into even more detail. For video marketing, Wizdeo is outstanding for YouTube analytics. Finally, Facebook has outstanding built-in analytics that you should use.
