Do you sit down at the end of each fiscal year and determine whether the money you spent on promotional marketing made a difference?
If not, you may be spending money that gives you very little bang for your buck and this is not good. All it takes to determine whether your marketing efforts are successful is to set some outcomes for what you want to get from your marketing.
A sample marketing outcome might be: I want to see a 50% increase in sales after disseminating promotional conference folders. Another example might be -I want to have 40 new customers walk through the door after disseminating promotional conference folders. Both of these outcomes have been written in a way that they can be measured with very little effort and you can quickly see whether you had enough bang for your buck.
It is important to be able to measure your outcomes(s) against a previous marker such as the previous year’s sales after a promotional conference folder dissemination effort or the number of new customers who were a result of the folder distribution. Knowing the effect your promotional conference folders have had on your business let’s you know whether they were an appropriate choice for your marketing campaign.
After you develop your outcomes, it is time to decide how you are going to reach them and this is called strategizing. You have a host of options for marketing strategies and using , you may be saying that you do not care about quality.
