In blogs past, we have written a great deal about the importance of being there for your customers … leading them, driving them, sticking with them as they make their way all the way down their path to conversion. While we have supplied a lot of content that extols the virtues of our attribution tracking and the digital marketing statistics it provides, we know that it can be challenging to comprehend the entire value of our system; especially if you haven’t seen it in action.

In the beginning, advertising to TV viewers was simple. There were only a handful of television channels, rotating a handful of scheduled programs, so all marketing reps had to do was buy commercial space on certain networks and bam! Their advertisement would be seen by a mass, captive audience and results were just a matter of time. But that was before video streaming came along. OTT On The Rise Once over-the-top (OTT) streaming services like Netflix and YouTube came along, closely followed by others such as Amazon Prime and Apple TV, television viewing habits began to change rapidly.

If you’re working in the present-day digital marketing space, you will almost certainly feel overwhelmed from time to time.

Businesses of today are always on the lookout for a better and more effective means of advertising, as well as any new digital marketing trends. Most of the digital marketers who lean towards success are utilizing programmatic digital media such as search, display, video, social and email marketing – all of which can be tracked and measured through proper attribution. However, audio ads, historically speaking, have not been able to be measured like that … until now!

As a marketer, have you ever wondered why your customers leave after just two months, or why there’s a sudden 60% plummet in your daily average usage? Or, why is it that some days customers just don’t convert on the checkout page, and why do 25% of my customers always cancel after six weeks? If you find yourself wondering what the answer is to these questions, it’s probably time you run a churn analysis.

With the technological advances that have come about in the last decade, marketers can now drive campaign performance more effectively than ever before. However, this is no indication of a digital panacea, as there are always going to be speedbumps to overcome, and innovations to incorporate. One of the challenges today’s advertisers face, is to harness all of the pertinent data rather than just look at bits and pieces of a partial picture.

Cost per Mille vs Effective Cost per Mille Most advertisers know that CPM stands for “Cost Per Mille” or cost per 1000 impressions. Advertisers set their desired price per 1000 ads served. The CPM rate is a big help to the advertiser to spread their products to a greater audience for an effective advertising cost. It’s also a metric used by marketers to measure the cost of the campaign, and just how much the publisher will get paid for every 1,000 impressions, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the display ads.

No matter what action step you’re about to take, it seems like one time is always better than another to do it. It’s mentioned what days the specials at the grocery store are best, or fishing on the lake, or what day is best to make an airline reservation.

The most important component of today’s programmatic advertising is finding an audience that wants to hear what our clients have to say … or sell … or provide. The old “Spray and Pray” methods of marketing are gone. They’ve been replaced by precision tools that can target virtually ANY genre or special interest group. But when you consider this rather recent programmatic turn of events and the effect it has had on the entire marketing industry, it’s easier to comprehend the vastness of its effectiveness in other fields.
