Advertising on half budget
The problem with a company’s advertising budget was most accurately described by the late, great automobile executive Lee Iacocca.
The man who gave us the exciting Mustang and the exploding Pinto when he was with Ford in the 1960’s later revived the Chrysler Corporation in the 1980’s.
Never afraid to borrow a good idea, Iacocca often cited John Wannamaker, founder of the first Department Store who believed “One half of my advertising budget is wasted. The trouble is I don’t know which half.”
It’s a situation faced by many company executives. Despite the plethora of collected data available today, the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of any advertising is still the activity at the cash register.
Ka-ching says the ad campaign is working. The absence of Ka-ching says fire the advertising agency.
While dismissing the agency might seem a tad rash it is however a common escape route utilised by brand managers when under pressure to stay employed.
Some ads work well for you
There are probably only a few forms of advertising that can be easily and accurately measured. They include letter-box drops, Google ads, and Customised in-store Audio Advertising.
For example; include a special offer on the letter box drop. If you deliver to 100 boxes and two people take up the offer, that’s a 2% result.
Google Ads will give you details and feedback on the number of visits to the website.
However, you’ll soon know how well your Customised in-store Audio Advertising is working by the “Ka-ching” at the cash register.
