  • What is the cost of acquiring a new customer?
  • What is the Return On Investment for this Fiscal Year?

    Key Business Questions Addressed:

    • What was the marketing ROI generated last month?

            FAQS

            Measuring Marketing is a challenging task. It requires specialized tools and highly technical teams. Although SaaS marketing technology has enabled rapid access to all sorts of data, it is very hard to understand what the data is telling us. Most agencies are not generally staffed to meet this need. Advertising Agencies generally focus on visual design, advertising or other less technical areas. Media and Search agencies, while relatively technical compared to Ad Agencies, rarely have the level of engineering and analyst talent needed to measure marketing effectively.

            For most businesses that deal with 1:1 selling through a sales force (B2B and large ticket purchases), marketing activity and sales activity can be connected via lead records in CRM. In the case of consumer mass marketing (i.e. retail or dealer sales), statistical inference is typically used to determine the correlation between marketing activity and sales activity.

            Organizations and business models vary widely, so our ability to determine your ROI is dependent on the quality and availability of your sales and marketing data.

            Yes. We are designed to work seamlessly across your network of software and agency partners. We are focused on measurement and aren’t looking to step on anyone’s toes or steal their business. We have developed our solution to meet the needs of the broadest set of marketers using the latest SAAS marketing tools. However we have developed file-based support for legacy or custom systems. Typically we will ask your team to share a file, inclusive of any internal business logic, for import into our system. If that won’t work, there are custom solution options available, although typically at much higher costs than our standard option.

            We don’t try to replace or reinvent what those products do. They all do an important job and they all capture some element of the customer journey. But to really understand what’s going on, you need to aggregate data from all sorts of systems, and somehow make sense of it. That means logging into multiple systems, merging and cleaning up data – it is a complex and time-consuming process with relatively low business value. We simplify this process so your team can focus on taking action on the insights. Additionally, we’re a real team of pros who takes the time to learn your business and understand your data. When you have a question, you can call a real live person – not a chat bot or a support forum. Oh and we’re pretty fun people!
