Media
When we look at a media source, we evaluate:
- Past performance/current performance/seasonality
- Market/media type
- Ad unit specs
- Day of the week
- Daypart analysis
Creative
For our regional and national clients, we’ve found that not every campaign works in every market. Before we roll it out, pull it back to revise it or abandon it, we look at:
- Past performance in other markets
- Messaging and differentiators
- Offer
Client CRM
Each client has their own metrics. We’ve found it helpful to judge performance based on a combination of these:
- CPL (cost per lead)
- CPLI (cost per lead issued)
- Sales close rate
- Sales revenue
- Y/Y metrics
