so keep them internal to marketing

metrics have to prove impact on those objectives

Hoe effectiefzijnonze marketing inspanningen?Ikkanjullie nu al zeggendatergeenmagischeformulebestaatomallesnetjesuitterekenen, maar de bedoeling van de komende 45 minuten is omjullie guidelinestegevenomdaarover op eengestructureerdemaniertedenken.
Het is inderdaadeencomplexematerie en het wordternietbeter op.Onze YMS was zeerduidelijkdaaromtrentonze CEO's altijdmaarveeleisender,marges en volumes staanonderdrukdusmoetermeergepresteerdworden met kleinerebudgettenMarketeershebbengeloofwaardigheidverloren en moeten die terugwionnen door huntoegevoegdewaardetebewijzenEenaantaltactiekenlijken minder tescoren : DM, eenmassa medium geworden, met verminderdsuccesBovendienstaan de prijzenonderdruk, indexering lost de echtedrukniet op, retailers zettenfabrikantenonderdruk…..Marketeersgrijpenterugnaarkortetermijnacties, voldoendaarmeemisschoienaan de verwachtingen van hun CEO maarzoudeneignelijkmoetenkunnenaantonendatditeennegatief effect heeft op de langetermijnDe nieuwigheden, scocial media geeftniet de resultaten die men verwachtteOokalgemene trends maken het onsnietmakkelijk….
Dus: nu is het echtwel het moment omwerktemaken van - wetenschappelijk is watoverdreven, maar in iederegevalgrondigerinzichttekrijgen in het effect van marketing op het resultaat van het bedrijf: op de juistemanier de inspanningenmeten.Eenbelangrijkereden is alvastdat marketing eigenlijkeenstedsgrotererollijkttehebben.70% van het beslissingsprocesskan door makretingwordenbeinvloed. CEO's wantrouwen …
Metenomteweten, maarzoalsgezegd het is complexWe kunnen heel veelmetenmaar de vraag is of we daarmeewetenwat nu bijbrengt in het resultaat van eenbedrijfJammer genoieg: er is niet 1 waarheidvoorallebedrijven
Belangrijk is om op eengestructureerdemaniernatedenken door jezelf en het team de juistvragentestellen en tebeantwoorden.Goed je huiswerkmakenzodat je op basis van aanvoelen en kennis de juistebelsissingenkannemen.Eeneerstebelangrijkevraag is: hoe zit het aankoopproces in mekaarvoormijn product of service.Eeenaankoopkan heel complex gebeuren, veelzaken of personenkunnenbeinvloeden, we wetendatergemiddeld 7 touch points nodigzijn, maar het is belangrijkste is omtekijkenwaterverander in dat process.Bijvoorbeeld Telco bedrijven, energiebedrijven .. Doen heel veelinspanningenom het beslissingsproceszo online mogelijktelatenverlopen.Datkan per sector bekeenworden, of per merk. Retail moetdit mi zeergoed in het ooghouden, hoe …..Bepaalde marketing actieskunnenmeer of minder belangkrijgenHow much worth is the advice of a specialist? Maybe peers are much more importantEnkelkwalitatiefonderzoekkanuitsluitselbieden.
Eentweedebelangrijkevraag is: hoe goedbenikgeinformeerdomgoeie marketing beoordelingentemaken. Marketing zalnooit 100% wetenschappelijkizjn,, hoeveel data erookwordengegenereerd. Wat het is eenfeit: we hebbentonnen data terbeschikking. Voortdurendnieuwe tools, nieuweeconmetrischemodellen. Maar de realiteitblijft: de data op zichzullengeenbeslissingenaanreiken. Ikpleithiervoor het omgekeerde: eerst hypotheses stellen, gebaseerd op kennis, ervaring, intuitiezelfs, en dat de data vindenide je hypotheses bevestigen. Duslzet de data crunchers aan het werk op het moment daterduidelijkehyptheseszijn, nietvroeger, het kanalleenmaar de complexiteit in de hand werken.Is dit in tegenstrijd tot Marketing Performance Management? Neen, en zekernietalstactieken en marketing programma'smoetenbeoordeeldworden, want daarbestaangeenmagischeformulesvoor.
Heel weiniggecumuleerdeervaring met veranderendedoelgroepen, neiwue media ….. Maarzemakenmeer en meerdeeluit van onze marketing aanpak.Eigenlijkkomtditeropneerdat het ROI risicovermeerdert. We radentochaan op opvoorhand die risico'stebeperken.Eengoeieregel is bijvoorbeeldomongekendetactieken tot limiteren tot 10 of 15% van het budget.Create a breathing room for piloting, testing & learning but don’t forget scenario planning (KIS) It will stimulate dialogue internally, over de echteafwegingen, wikken en wegen and it will aloow you to manage expectations across business units.
Welkemaatstavengaan we gebruiken?
