Q

What is Marketing ROI

A

A way of measuring the return on investment from the amount a
company spends on marketing

It is also referred to by its
acronym, MROI, or as return on marketing investment (ROMI)

It can be used to assess the
return of a specific marketing
program, or the firm’s overall
marketing mix

55
Q

Benefits of MROI

A

Justifying marketing spend

Deciding what to spend on

Comparing marketing efficiency with competitors

Holding themselves accountable

56
Q

Benefits of MROI

Justifying marketing spend:

A

Marketing is a significant expense and
leaders want to know what they’re getting for it. MROI helps prove
marketing impact on the profitability of the firm

57
Q

Benefits of MROI

Deciding what to spend on:

A

MROI is most often calculated at the
campaign level so marketers know which efforts have a higher return
and warrant further investment. It also informs future spending levels,
allocation of the budget across programs and media

58
Q

Benefits of MROI

Comparing marketing efficiency with competitors:

A

Track competitors’
MROI to gauge how your company is performing against others in the
industry. While MROI is not usually public information, managers can
use published financial statement data to estimate it

59
Q

Benefits of MROI

Holding themselves accountable:

A

Marketing is not about winning creative awards but delivering customers and sales.” Measuring how
efficiently the marketing organization is using the company’s money
keeps everyone accountable for using those funds wisely

60
Q

How to Calculate MROI

A

MROI = (Incremental Financial Value Gained as a Result of the Marketing Investment - Cost of the Marketing Investment) / Cost of the Marketing Investment

61
Q

MROI Calculation Goal

A

The goal is to end up with a positive number, and ideally as high a number as possible

62
Q

Some companies establish a threshold for MROI that takes into account

A

its risk tolerance and cost of capital, below which they are hesitant to make investments.

If a program doesn’t promise to deliver at or above that level, they are unlikely to invest and if you end up with a negative ROI, the project is harder to justify on financial terms.

63
Q

Challenges in Calculating MROI

A

Difficult to decide which expenditures to include (i.e. cost of the media vs staff time).

Difficulty of measuring incremental financial value, hard to define a
baseline in a dynamic environment. Usually companies look at
historical data and project them into the future or use A/B testing to
assess the incremental lift.

Measuring the lag time associated with most marketing spending. If
you spend $1 today, it might take 3 years for it to “work” and for
the consumer to make a purchase (i.e. cars)

It can also be difficult to figure out which incremental profits are
attributable to which programs as most companies are using a mix
of programs to persuade consumers

64
Q

Mistakes When Using MROI

A

It is easy to only recognize the incremental profits in ST sales and underestimate LT benefits to brand value

CFOs are under pressure to deliver quarterly earnings, and may not be patient for the LT effects of marketing. You’re asking them to believe in forward movement in a progression through a customer’s purchase journey that can take a long time

This is where the concept of CLV can be useful. By calculating how much one customer is worth in comparison with others, marketers can show a CFO the impact of marketing spend over the course of
the company’s ongoing relationship with that customer

The key is to remember that while marketing expenditures hit the P&L immediately, every dollar you spend today is building your brand as an asset for the future

65
Q

CLV

A

Estimate of the average revenue that a customer will generate throughout their lifespan as a customer

Help determine marketing budget, resources, profitability and forecasting

66
Q

CLV

How to Calculate Subscription model:

A

Take the average monthly amount expected
from each customer and divide it by your churn rate

(i.e. if you
charge $500 per month and your churn rate is 5% then CLV is 500/0.05=
$10,000)

67
Q

CLV

How to Calculate Non-Subscription model:

A

Total income you expect to gain from a new customer including add-ons and upsells. Calculated by multiplying the AOV by number of Expected Purchases and Time of
Engagement

68
Q

Expected CLV Equation

A

CLV(infinite lifetime) = CM/(i* + 1 – r) – CAC

where
CM = expected contribution for the customer (segment)

i* = i (=the risk-free discount rate) × risk factor

r = retention rate for the customer (segment)

CAC = customer acquisition costs

1 - r = Growth Rate
