Internet Marketing and Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s)

Whenever we talk about effective Internet marketing we have to also talk about KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators).You intrinsically need to understand how to use them to be highly successful in marketing of any kind. Evaluating  all your Ianternet marketing and as well as search engine optimization (SEO ) efforts using tools like Google Analytics and Google Adwords can generate easy to understand data and put your marketing efforts on steroids!.

Many business are still spending large percentages of their marketing budgets on magazine ads, mailers, billboards, radio and TV and worst of all, Yellow Pages ads that simply do not generate the ROI they should. Statistics show us that people today are simply not using the Yellow Pages anymore to find products or services. The Internet offers a faster and more effective way to search for, locate and evaluate the many service providers and product sources with much more information than any small ad  or commercial ever could. It is time to save money and become more effective.

Often, small business owners, employ their marketing programs as if they were playing darts with their eyes closed. Hitting the bull’s-eye can be difficult enough when you can see the target. Why make it harder than it needs to be? The first step in the Internet marketing process is to clarify what you want to accomplish. Many businesses ultimately fail because their marketing objectives are too broad with no basis or measurement for success.

The key is to select a target market that will not only become loyal clients, but hopefully generate more business through up sales and quality referrals. It’s about getting repeat business and warm new leads from happy customers.

Its also about making a profit. Hitting high revenue goals is actually quite simple if that’s all you set out to do. Marketing becomes more complicated when you intelligently begin combining those targets with other objectives, such as a increasing your profit, an impressive level of quality control for your products and services and building  long term customer relationships  that will maintain the profitability and growth you are seeking. One of the top real estate agents in Calgary spends about $200,000 per year on marketing. Sure he does a lot of business, but he is investing in old expensive methods that could easily be replaced with more effective techniques. problem is he is not learning the new rules and his profits are being siphoned off to marketing companies that are out of date.
