Make sure you know whats hot and whats not with your marketing

With markets getting ever tougher there is increasing pressure to make sure every pound being spent is working productively.
When retailing tycoon John Wanamaker once said, "I know that half of my advertising doesn't work. The problem is, I don't know which half." He hardly realised how true that would be and for how long.

But with developments in technology, it's become increasingly possible to gauge how effective your advertising is and which parts are simply not working.

Media Monitoring
At The Media Cube we've been analysing clients campaigns for years, helping them to determine their average cost per lead across all their advertising choices. This allows them to easily see what advertising is working well and at what level, as well as being able to quickly assess the value of any new marketing opportunities by comparing results instantly to tried and tested campaigns.

This analysis has never been more vital than now, so whether it's using non-geographic 0844 phone numbers, or integrating website analytics, all businesses should be looking to monitor their spend.

With your competitors already doing it, can you afford not to.

Their success over the years has meant they are able to offer a wide range of services to help any business improve their sales. This was further added to by the launch of TMC Training, a sales training division set-up to help business get the most out of their sales force. Greg believes that a company’s sales team are one of their most important assets and by training them to work more effectively, can help any business grow, even in these tough times.

Re: Kevin's Case Study #6 - Marketing an information resource? - Hey Sebastian, Congrats are starting to think beyond whats currently being done. My question is why do you want to get away from lead generation if that is where you make your money. What if you just because THE SOURCE for lead generation and high value content/information? Then you'd get more business because franchisors would HAVE to be listed with you.... J
Re: Businesswomen in the news Re: Businesswomen in the news - Sad but true isnt it. That is one of the main reasons I dont really watch the news or read papers...I find it all to dark and gloomy. I prefer to have people around me to keep me up to speed on whats going on, but without all the media and negative commentary. What you focus on expands, so I focus on the positive. Thats why you always find me watching Oprah versus CNN. Maybe its niave but you know what....I'm happy and successful and thats what matters to me. J
