Marketing ROI presents an idea whose time has come. The idea? That marketing is an integral component of any organization\’s profitability (or lack thereof), and it is reasonable--in fact, beneficial--for executives to expect a measurable return on marketing investment, just as they expect returns on capital, technology, and other essential expenditures.
Built around a straightforward formula that can be adapted and implemented by organizations to match their own operational and financial requirements, Marketing ROI follows a three-step process for introducing, understanding, and implementing marketing ROI:
Today\’s increasingly intense competitive environment, coupled with constant demands to improve shareholder value, has ratcheted up the pressure on companies to increase spending efficiency whenever and wherever possible. But with traditional paths to profitability more crowded than ever, companies are finding it virtually impossible to gain meaningful ground while using the same concepts and calculations as their competitors. Businesses need an approach that compares virtually every marketing investment with its incremental return, improves the measurements of the financial value of an organization\’s marketing investments, and ensures that the underlying principles remain valid.
Marketing ROI presents a new and better way to strengthen your competitive position by solidifying the tracking of your marketing expenses. Let it show you a proven path to accurately measure the efficiency and effectiveness of each of your marketing expenses--from targeted price reductions to direct marketing campaigns to revamped distribution channels--and use that data to increase the bottom-line return for every marketing decision you make.
