- 19. The Marketing InvestmentMatrix ⢠The next chart is a visual display of each marketing and media tactic and program along a spend v. returns matrix. ⢠Programs in the upper right are high investment and high returns efforts. These are high stakes and critical ongoing investments in the future. ⢠Programs in the upper left are low investment and high returns efforts. These represent significant upside opportunities for improving overall marketing productivity and should be expanded aggressively ⢠Programs in the lower left are low priority initiatives. They are neither high investment nor high returns. These efforts are of marginal importance and can be reduced or even eliminated. ⢠Programs in the lower right are high investment but low returns efforts. These are probably in the diminishing returns portion of their response curves and, although important, can probably be scaled back to some degree.
