Finally!

We are pleased to report the death of the days when marketing performance was about as transparent as black magic. The curtain has been lifted and now any marketer – no matter how small or how inexperienced or how rushed for time - can get a crystal clear view of what is happening with your marketing investment.

And what smart business owner or marketer wouldn’t want to do that?

Set some goals

“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will do.”
- Lewis Carroll

Not surprisingly. if you’re going to hold marketing accountable, you need some measurable objectives. That’s not as hard as it may seem – especially if you accept the
Clicks ‘n Conversions premise that every good marketing program contributes directly to sales.

Choose your tactics.

The second requirement for marketing accountability is the ability to track and measure results. Fortunately, selecting marketing tactics that can actually be measured is easy these days. With the possible exception of social media programs, internet marketing programs are superbly easy to measure.

Pay-per-click advertising, search engine optimization, online advertising, email marketing, website conversion optimization and even lead nurturing all lend themselves to accurately and easily measuring customer actions. Technology – often free technology – makes it a piece of cake to test one approach against another to find – without guessing – which approach delivers the most or best results.

Measure it.

At Clicks ‘n Conversions we work with our clients to develop actionable, measurable marketing objectives and the programs that meet these objectives. Best of all our tracking systems include early warning signals to let you know when you’re off track.

Only a foolish marketer – or one with tons of money to burn – would investment marketing dollars these days without a clear idea of what was expected in return and a well-defined way of measuring it.
