In a perfect world, every company has an unlimited marketing budget. But the reality is that most businesses have a spending limit on their digital marketing campaigns, so it is vital to avoid unnecessary spending. So how can you make sure your business implements a cost-effective marketing strategy? Shift your focus to a stronger marketing measurement tactics, and invest in a marketing platform that allows you to access and interpret all of your data in one spot. Let’s walk through the top benefits of stronger measurement within your marketing efforts.
Google Marketing Platform & Marketing Measurement Tactics
Before you implement any new measurement tactics, you’ll need to shift how you think about your overall digital marketing strategy. For example, many marketing teams measure results by grouping digital channels together, so there is no distinct way to measure and compare the data from offline channels. But the tools within Google Marketing Platform allow us to measure the results of marketing efforts online and offline in one cohesive package.
Google Analytics 360, for example, gives you the ability to track meaningful information about how customers engage with your websites, apps, and ads. You’re also able to connect and manage all of that information in one single place. The result? Your data analysis, insights, and reporting become highly visible to your whole team so that you can take a truly collaborative approach in your marketing efforts.
More importantly, all of the tools in the Google Marketing Platform work together through seamless integration so you have a complete picture of your data, online and offline. The ability to adequately measure the customer journey, cross-channel, helps you understand who your customers are as people, which allows you to personalize your campaigns and increase conversions. This creates a more efficient campaign process that saves time and money.

This helps to refine your marketing approach and allows you to strategically manage your marketing budget and resources.
