The Pure360 Maturity Model
Document your objectives
1. What is the company objective / goal?
2. What is the department objective / goal?
3. What is expected of you?
(5 minutes)
What are KPIs and why are they important?
Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a critical metric that
measures the success of a specific activity or objective used to
measure business goals.
● Gives marketing efforts purpose
● Reduces time wasting - if you can’t measure it, why are you doing it?
● They’re success metrics to help you reach key business objectives
● Helps to track performance (personal and team)
● Makes reporting easier!
Why KPIs are good
What are SMART objectives
SMART is an acronym which provides criteria to guide in the setting of objectives
S Specific
Details exactly what needs to
be done
M Measurable
Achievement or progress that
can be measured
A Achievable / Attainable
Objective is accepted by
those responsible for
achieving it
R Relevant
Objective is relevant to the
business and job function
T Timed
Time period for
achievements is clearly
stated
Alongside having KPIs, using the SMART model will
also:-
● Increase your campaign success rate
● Supports your clarity in decision making when prioritising tasks
● Optimises resources (people and budget)
● Make it easier to communicate across the business
● Enable larger objectives to become more achievable when broken
down into SMART tactical tasks
SMART Objective Examples
“Increase website visits by 10% in June, July and August 2019
compared to the same period in the previous year.”
“Increase the average order value of online sales to £35 per
customer by the end of August 2019.”
“Reduce customer database churn rate by 5% by December 2019.”
● Done: We know our business goals / objectives
● Next: We’ll clearly define our objectives that feed back up to our goals

SMART Email Tactics
The best practice tactics we typically see
Awarenes
s
Welcome emails
Welcome emails generate between 50-60% open rates
Welcome emails are 50% - 86% more effective than email
newsletters
Subscribers who receive a Welcome email show 33% more
engagement with the brand
Despite these numbers, just 57.7% of brands send Welcome
emails to their newly subscribed users
Nurture/Prospecting
Address Major Objection – Day 1 – In the form:
“Most people think X, but if they only knew Y, then
Z”.
Provide Case Study/Social Proof – Day 2 – Show
them what life will be like after they have become
a customer.
Offer Help – Day 3 – Overcome obstacles. Ask them
to reply with the biggest obstacle they are facing.
“Stuck? Need some help?”.
Strong Call To Action – Day 4 – Final call email with
a strong call to action focus, “Book a consultation
today” or “Purchase X product/Holiday Today”
Interest
Newsletters & Promotions
Essential to marketing
Your newsletters and promotions should reinforce
your customer life cycle.
Everything should be aligned
Use your brand voice, is your newsletter empowering
or creating excitement?
Brand building and engagement
Ad hoc newsletters can create new opps and new life
cycles by themselves
Competitions & Surveys
The chance to gain engagement & the opportunity to
learn more about recipients
WIIFM? (what's in it for me?) Everyone needs a
reason to do something
Your incentive doesn't always have to be money, just
remember WIIFM
Make it easy. Entering needs to be pain free & the
time for entering or filling in needs to be considered
Make it an exchange for something that could help
you know more about them
Know your audience - is the prize what they really
want?
Desire
Abandon Basket & Browsers

Replenishment Campaigns
One of our customers currently converts at 33% on
their replenishment email campaigns!
Replenishment emails have an average open-rate
of 50-60% and an average click-rate of 40-50%. In
other words, they are a golden opportunity for your
brand to generate recurring revenue.
Review Campaigns
Reviews are more powerful than ever before.
People trust online reviews nearly as much as a
personal recommendations.
Maximising touchpoints regarding their experience
and gaining those reviews to help social proof
further services.
These will help with retention and acquisition.
Don’t forget...
SMS
Email is not the only channel worth exploring.
SMS has a higher interaction rate than any other
form of instant communication.
Think about information and important messages
to keep the customer engaged around their entire
experience with you.
SMS is also a great last ditch re-
engagement/replenishment tool for last minute
deals when a repeat purchase has not been
obtained.
Direct Mail
Direct mail was the largest growing marketing
channel of 2018, with video being tipped for 2019.
With an average conversion rate of 5.1% it is
perfect in any direct communications strategy.
Maximising your touch points with monetary

Editor's Notes

  • #6 https://www.commoncoresheets.com/FunStuff.php
  • #9 SMART planning is all about aligning your activities and efforts back to your business / team objectives. You need to understand what is expected of you? And why? What is the business trying to achieve? What will the impact be? Is it worth the time and effort?
  • #10 These taglines don’t tell you why you should use Nike or Apple products. They don’t include benefits or features. Instead, they act as brand triggers. Brand associations & values. They’re verbal logos of your brand They are the WHY of why you should engage with them. Example Apple, a great example of working from the WHY to the HOW to the WHAT Why- hey want to think differently thereby challenging the status quo. They answer the HOW question by informing their potential buyers that their eye-catching designs are easy to use. Finally, they arrive at the WHAT question: they make computers. Simon Sinek argues that customers do not buy products because of what companies do but because of why they do it.
  • #11 Worksheet Document your business and marketing objectives
  • #13  Show of hands - how many people have specific KPIs against each task / campaign you’ve planned?
  • #14 A single KPI is less important when it stands on its own. When reviewed as a collective - it provides you with far richer insight.
  • #15 You will need to be able to include a KPI alongside your SMART objectives. So let’s start breaking SMART down into detail.
  • #16 First of all - what is SMART Now most of you will already know what SMART objectives are. But are you actually working SMART on a daily basis?
  • #18 With each one these statements, there are several tasks that sit below these. And along with those tasks, sit other metrics that you have to consider and measure.
  • #20 As marketers, we’re responsible for all aspects of the customer journey. Although we are focused today on Email, please don’t feel restricted to plotting out just your email customer lifecycles. Consider other channels that drive your audience reach. Consider other channels in the wider objective planning, if that feeds in to your objectives.
  • #21 In terms of email, these are the key stages of the lifecycle to review. Ensure these are implemented as part of best practice, revenue generation and customer retention. Conversion (could be, download, demo request, form)
  • #22 Worksheets - there is a simple email lifecycle checklist to review Typically - we would actually spend a whole day on this. So although we’re only doing this task as a mini audit, We would encourage you to review this in detail.
  • #24 Considering the business objectives Let’s start with looking at the Specific part of the model The Objective needs to be clear, well defined, an unambiguous.
  • #25 Here are some examples of a specific statement that a marketer wants to achieve. They’re fairly clear. But we don’t yet know why they’re good.
  • #26 In a moment we are going to review our objective statements, we need to make sure we understand why we are setting those objectives. Ask yourself the question why? Why is this important? How does this align to my team or business objectives?
  • #29 Let’s find out if you can measure your objectives!!
  • #30 These are the most common metrics marketing teams measure. But this doesn’t answer the question on impact.
  • #31 Before we consider applying a KPI to our goal, we need to ensure that we are using the right KPI to measure its success. Your KPIs should match your why. Tactics for fill a KPI !!!! Pure360 why - empowering our customers to be the best they can be !!!! MY KPI - to speak to all customers a month
  • #32 You can start making notes and breaking down the main goal into smaller goals. You might want to start making a note of some of the KPIs you have in place or want to implement using the KPI section of the worksheet if that helps. giving you templates to take away with you to complete when you have more time
  • #35 We need to consider how other factors could influence the success of you being able to achieve your objective. Consider other challenges you might have. Ask yourself who will be responsible for the delivery of the objective and its tasks.
  • #36 On the achievable section of the objective planning, we now need to detail who will own the delivery. Who is going to own certain aspects / tasks How realistic will that be? Make a note of any challenges you think you might have too
  • #37 Has anyone so far identified any challenges they’d like to share? Reliance of other teams for example?
  • #39 Is your goal realistic? Is it relevant? Does this serve your job role? How relevant is this goal to the business?
  • #40 Is the time and effort realistic? Will it be worth it? Are you the right person to own this objective? Another question to ask yourself, is if the business are expecting revenue growth of 10% in 12 months, can you really achieve that when your list is deteriorating by 20%?
  • #41 Let’s complete the relevancy section of the goal planning
  • #43 Part of measuring the success of a goal is setting a deadline to measure it. We need a target and an end date to reach it. Time frames can also heavily influence whether the goal is achievable and realistic. Be honest with yourself!
  • #44 Before we set our time frames, we need to make sure we review all other tasks too. This is an easy way to see what you should do and when. And whether you should be doing it at all! Once you have your tasks and goals written out - spend time prioritising them. What are your quick wins? What are your biggest priorities feeding back to your goals? Don’t be afraid to drop something if it does not align to the goal!
  • #45 We’ve given you a template of the Impact Effort Matrix Feel free to start jotting down some other tasks But this one is to take away when you have some time to consider everything!
