Marketing Optimization: To ROI or not to ROI – that is the question
|
In the distant past, marketing success was judged by sales increases, even if the sales weren’t directly attributable to the marketing activity. Good measurement of marketing results weren’t always easy to come by (with the notable exception of direct marketing). When budgets got tight, CEO’s were prone to cut marketing budgets because they didn’t always see an immediate drop in sales with the drop in marketing expenditures. This led to many tough conversations between CEO’s and CMO’s over the drive to measure marketing results and only invest in those marketing activities which are measurable. But is that what’s best for the company, or is there a better way?
