However, if you develop a marketing strategy without a definitive plan, you could be wasting valuable dollars. But even if you have a strategic plan, it’s important to know the effectiveness of that plan, so you can make necessary adjustments to improve outcomes. What is the best way to boost your marketing ROI? Three easy steps will get you there.

Develop A Finely Tuned Marketing Campaign

Any campaign, whether it is accomplished through direct mail or email marketing, should generally include these components:

  • A targeted objective, where every component of that campaign is designed to meet that goal. For instance, if your goal is to generate leads, every piece of communication within that campaign should help support that target.
  • Each point of communication should give the consumer an opportunity to respond. For instance, promotional materials that offer a discount should optimize the call to action with an appropriate deadline and a clearly defined offer.
  • Use multiple response methods, including online forms, email address, phone numbers or postage paid reply cards. Offering several methods of communication serves your customers’ preferences, and improves response rates.

Track Your Communication With Customers

No matter what materials you use in your marketing campaigns, you’ll need to a system to track customer responses. A tracking system should:

  • Capture email addresses or postal addresses from a lead-generation campaign.
  • Notify you if a customer responds with a question or interest in your services.
  • Allow you see referrals quickly.
  • Overall, the marketing ROI tracking system should allow you to access information at all times of the day.
