Now, you can replace those question marks with dollar signs. Pablo Turletti's ROI Marketing Matrix is specifically designed to break down a marketing effort's benefit to the company into hard cash. Controllers and CEOs can finally look over a campaign report and definitively see whether or not it cost more than it returned. This credible, reliable process applies to most projects, programs, disciplines, and industries. It generates measurement data relating to product positioning, target-group education, and their expected interactions as well as costs, revenues, and ultimately, the overall return on investment. Collectively, these outputs measure a profile of success or failure based on qualitative and quantitative data. This book should sit within arm's reach of every marketer, controller, CFO, CEO, purchasing manager, and anyone else involved in optimizing marketing efforts.
