The 3 Mistakes That Undermine ROI from Marketing
Most businesses, big and small, make at least 3 mistakes when it comes to ROI from marketing. These mistakes reduce the effectiveness of the marketing and therefore hamper the return on investment that comes from the expenditure.
Many spend their money on getting advertising in front of a broad, generic audience. What the fail to do is target specific sub-sets of prospects and then drive them to specific lead capture mechanism.
But the biggest cardinal sin is they don’t follow-up consistently with prospects over an extended period of time. This means they are not front of mind when they are ready to buy.
They neglect the relationship with existing and previous customers.
