What’s next?
The days of posting a sign and waiting for customers to knock on your door are all but over. Today’s marketing success is built on insightful, actionable data – even for offline channels
like direct mail, print and radio.
Marketing Data: What’s Possible, and Why it Matters
Successful marketers are leveraging their ad spend to learn how & where to spend
their next dollar.
Clean Data: Getting-Out What You Put-InWell targeted ads can easily track:
•Demographics: age, gender, marital status, etc
•Psychographics: interests, political views, social preferences
•User-Behaviors: shopping habits, subscriptions, recreational habits
•Geography: IP address, zip codes, city/state or “local area” using radii around a business
location
•Messaging: promotions, discounts, sales, and the imagery & verbiage that drive resultsThe Trick: Label your ads according to who they target, put tracking info into the ‘destination URL’ of every ad and make sure you’ve got a web analytics platform that can capture that info, along with valuable website activities.
Getting Results: Define & Prioritize Your GoalsTypical Goals:
•Reach & Awareness – focus on unique reach & frequency
•Drive Interaction – focus on interactions and CTR
•Maximize Site Traffic - focus on CPC
•Maximize Conversions or Sales – focus on CPA and Conversion Rate
•Maximize ROI – focus on CPA, Revenue per Click, and Revenue per Conversion
Consideration can be given to multiple goals, but one must take priority. Whatever your primary goal, make sure you have a way to monitor the appropriate metrics and map any “success event” back to the specific ad that drove that event.
Doing more of what works best, and less of what doesn’t is very intuitive in theory. In practice, it means
complexity, attention to detail and a keen eye on statistical significance. It’s not easy, but it’s always worth
doing.
Follow the Data, It Doesn’t Lie.
With the sophisticated campaigns you can run, all the data that you can collect from digital marketing efforts on Google, Facebook, etc. it’s easy to get buried and lose sight of the business value and data driven decision making abilities.

better decisions• Tie metrics to the business reasons, business
problems that need solving
o Tie to the business strategy with a visual contexto Analysis path to what people in a role need to make a
business decision
Digital Marketing Dashboards Best PracticesCompared to more traditional ‘Business System’ based BI:
•Challenge is LESS of going to various business systems to acquire and integrate data•Challenge is MORE of filtering out all the data that is not relevant to your specific business focus
Best Practice: Minimize the noise, focus on presenting the metrics with their context related to your defined business problem. Swimming through all the data is a Data Scientist exercise!
