Define Success for Your Online Marketing
It’s common for people to use general metric standards as a guideline for success when analyzing online marketing data. This can lead to real problems with their campaigns because it doesn’t take into account individualized goals.
Each webpage, email communication, or social media post needs to have a clearly defined metric for success rather than being analyzed on general metrics. General metrics like visitors, open/click rates, or post views can be misleading on the effectiveness of online marketing. This data is informative but should not be the measuring stick for most online marketing initiatives.
In upcoming posts we’ll look at three separate areas of online marketing and general metrics that people use to measure success. We’ll then outline how in many cases the general metrics are feeding false assumptions. The three areas we will focus on are:
- Email Marketing
- Website
- Social Media
Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Marleen,
It’s a wrodpress blog. Thanks for the comment.
