Closing The Loop Between Marketing and Revenue

“Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half.” – John Wanamaker

Nearly a century after Wanamaker uttered these words, most marketers – particularly online marketers - can still feel his pain. The irony is, today, marketers have the technology they need to “close the loop” between marketing and revenue, but few are actually taking advantage of it.

To many, setting up closed-loop reporting has remained too hard and confusing to implement. Effective marketers, however, should be able to tie every single lead, customer, and dollar back to the marketing initiative that created them. This is how marketers can prove their worth, and understand how to more efficiently reach their audience.

Website As Marketing Hub

The easiest way to close the loop is to make your website the central hub for all of your marketing. Search engines, social media, email marketing, referral links, paid search and even offline campaigns should get filtered right to your website. Then, when someone visits your website, you can “cookie” them and start tracking their activity – and acting on it.

But This Is Just The Entry Point…

As you attract traffic and identify where it’s coming from, you need to track the behavior of your visitors – and use that intelligence to illuminate the path to more successful conversions.

Changing The Status Quo

Marketers spend a lot of time and invest a lot of money into their campaigns – but they’re not always sure whether their efforts are really paying off. It’s time to change this status quo.
