In the first part of this post ‘Understanding Your ROI’ we talked through the 4 steps to calculating your ROI
Example Calculation
Imagine you spent £10,000 on a digital marketing campaign and tracked £15,000 in sales attributed to this campaign.
- – Total Returns: £15,000
- – Total Cost: £10,000
- – Net Profit: £15,000 – £10,000 = £5,000
- – ROI Fraction: £5,000 / £10,000 = 0.5
- – ROI Percentage: 0.5 × 100 = 50%
Your digital marketing ROI would be 50%, indicating a profitable campaign.
Considerations
- Attribution: Properly attributing sales to the correct campaign is crucial and can be complex, especially in multi-channel marketing.
- Long-term Value: Consider the lifetime value of customers acquired through marketing efforts, not just immediate gains.
- Market Variables: External factors such as economic shifts and competitive actions can impact ROI and should be considered in your analysis.
