Performance marketing: measuring the success of marketing measures

Performance marketing: measuring the success of marketing measures

Are you reaching your desired customers and the goals for your company with your current marketing? Is the channel mix right, or does it make sense to redistribute the budget and optimize the measures in a campaign? Performance marketing - the supreme discipline in online marketing - provides the right answers. We'll show you how to use your data for a performance-oriented marketing strategy while keeping an eye on your goal. And how you can optimally align your marketing and your campaigns with the needs of your customers. Away from gut feeling and towards data-driven communication.

What exactly is performance marketing?

Performance marketing is the generic term for a strategy to make the success of online marketing measurable. The performance of each marketing measure and campaign is measured using tracking tools and key figures. Typical key performance indicators (KPIs) for the success of your marketing are, for example, click rate, the number of impressions and interactions, reach, leads or conversions.

What advantages does performance marketing offer?

The greatest benefit of performance marketing is that you make your decisions based on valid data rather than gut feeling or personal experience. After all, you can only find out exactly what motivates your customers and how they act by taking a close look at their behavior towards your brand. With performance marketing, you can measure the impact of your brand, your campaigns and your marketing strategy transparently and in real time. You can then use the findings to adapt your measures. Whether search engine optimization (SEO) and advertising (SEA), ads, social media marketing or email marketing: you can immediately see which measures, channels and formats of your campaign really resonate with your customers. You can optimize all parameters at short intervals and on the basis of valid information - for successful customer communication that contributes to your marketing goals.
