Anna Covert provided three common ways to plan your company’s marketing budget and recommended objective task budgeting where companies build a budget to support clearly identified sales goals.
Determining the value of a new customer is important to create benchmarks to evaluate your marketing mix.
One of the biggest mistakes clients make is spreading their budget evenly over a fiscal calendar as it can lead to irrelevant campaigns.
Allowing the ad exchange platform to bid on your behalf and treating every impression as equal are other common mistakes.
Anna Covert also recommends picking digital partners/platforms that block bot traffic and allow businesses to prove that their impression ran.
Remember that the customer’s online journey is fluid and digital marketing is an ever-changing environment, with costs changing in real-time based on seasonality, competitiveness, and global events.
To protect your investment, always make sure to pick “data-driven” attribution models to allow for an easier way to measure all your marketing efforts.
Digital marketing is an effective marketing strategy that, when executed correctly, can help you generate revenue and achieve your business goals.
