It is true that 50% of your marketing works and 50% doesn’t the real secret is understand where the success lies. No matter how basic or glamorous a Marketing campaign is, or how much money is thrown at it, the truth still remains. If you arent tracking it properly and building the analysis back into the business you will be lucky to get a good ROI’s on your marketing budget. You won’t have any more understanding of your customer and most of will still be scratching about for the answers come the next campaign.
Great tracking and analysis is the single most important aspect of any marketing department, large or small – fail to do this and the long term impact on lost revenue can be profound.
And this statement is true for every type of marketing too, online or off line, below or above the line.
So how can you work through this and really optimise your marketing return on investment?
When when working as Marketing Consultants WN6 Creative Design Creative look in depth at the existing tracking infrastructure (if there is any), the way marketing data is collected, collated, analysed and deployed. Many businesses state they have little in the way of incoming data so have no nothing to track, but it’s simply not true – every telephone call, enquiry, email or conversation is valuable marketing data. Inn fact all forms of customer communication is data. When it comes to marketing ALL sales led marketing campaigns should have a response mechanism. If you have a response mechanism you will receive data, collect and manipulate the data and hey presto you are some way to cracking the equation, of what works and what doesn’t. Fail to even collect the data and you’ll never know.
Ask the questions, use response hooks on marketing literature, marketing is only communication so communicate with the customer – seek to learn and then understand. Collect the data, analyse it and deploy it next time.
Great data collection, analysis in the ‘real’ world environment can then be used alongside powerful online analysis tools such as Google Analytics (installed on all WN6 Creative Design websites) to provide a greater understanding.
