The discussion
Look for consumer behavior pattern to draw a
successful marketing campaign.

Success of a marketing campaign should be
judged beyond ROI.
Marketing objectives are needed to be clearly
defined before designing a campaign.
“In marketing, there are no hard and fast rules , what may
work for one company may not work for another.”

“Data collection is of prime importance for a marketer
before designing any campaign.”
3 factors to consider for
marketing campaign:

• Sales goals
• Scale of the campaign
• Cost of the campaign

“Big data gives us the basic market patterns and
scenarios but they cannot be relied on to predict
future market trends .”
Social marketing as a concept of creating brand
awareness is very good; it also is a good medium of
receiving and processing the views of prospective
customers .
“ROI should be measured on both quantitative and
qualitative figures.”
Marketing channel choice is based on two primary
parameters:
Target audience and product market.
Internet is the most cost effective marketing channel in
today's world.
Just having a page on Facebook is not social media
marketing. It is a platform to constantly engage and
interact with your customers
Use return on marketing investment (ROMI). It
measures the incremental sales growth from the
marketing campaign considering the contribution
margin of the business .
Marketers should understand and measure the
marketing campaign on the basis of business life cycle.

The conclusion
smart marketing—it’s a
distinct competitive advantage in today’s
ever-changing marketing landscape

“Those who
respect consumer
preference will
soon find
themselves able to
reach consumers
in new and more
relevant ways
across greater
number of
channels”
