marketing accessible and available to everyone with a computer (or phone).

Return on Investment
     “Half of my advertising spend is wasted, but I don’t know which half.”

What is your time worth?

DIRECT SALES

Example:
$250/week
(5 hours/week x $50/hr)

$500/year
(Average client spend)

2% closing ratio
(Through the website – WITHOUT an incentive)

100 visitors/month
(Approximate increase in site traffic to break even)

Are your social media efforts bringing 100 extra site visits/month?
Return on Investment
     “Half of my advertising spend is wasted, but I don’t know which half”


PROMOTIONAL EVENT
Example:
$2,500 overall event budget

$750.00 spent on social media advertising
(15 hours x $50/hr)

$500/year
(Average client spend)

10% closing ratio

50 attendees
(Amount needed to break even)

Did your social media efforts bring 50 attendees or more?
Return on Investment
     “Half of my advertising spend is wasted, but I don’t know which half”


OTHER METRICS WORTH MEASURING
(BESIDES DIRECT SALES)
