Tips for measuring the ROI of Digital Marketing

roi 1024x770 - Tips for measuring the ROI of Digital Marketing

In the bad days, digital marketing was a free-for-all where instant gurus touted their money-making formulas and deluded followers into spending thousands for coaching programs that didn’t work.

Now, of course, digital marketing is much sophisticated and it’s harder for false gurus to seduce business owners without proving ROI resulting from their digital marketing programs.

The info graphic shows the various elements necessary to achieve positive ROI of digital marketing campaigns. Basically, 2 things account for positive ROI:

  1. Bringing more visitors to a store
  2. Convert more visitors who shows up at a store

Unfortunately, many attempts to measure the ROI of digital media focus on these end results, totally ignoring the variety of factors that generate positive outcomes – a very dangerous practice.

A good dashboard allows users to dive deeper or takes a broader overview of metrics. Also, adding the ability for users to create ad hoc reports and alternative visualizations increases the effectiveness of your dashboard.
