By measuring your results you can move toward a more profitable business online.

Solve Marketing ROI for Better Results

Many advertisers have dismal results when it comes to running an ad campaign. I agree that in order to attain your sales goals you need to first understand how to measure your results.

Brenner explains the first steps toward improving your marketing ROI.

Here's what caught my attention:

• Start by measuring the sales from your marketing campaigns minus the investment you put into them, and then dividing this number. This will give you insights on trade-offs of what works and what doesn't.

• It's important to differentiate between ROI investments and financial statements. Find out whether you are including things like corporate expenses in your measurements.

• Stick to the programs that you can measure. Digital content is something you can gather data on with proven results.
