Marketing Objectives and Why You Need Them

At MAKO’s product design firm in Florida, one of the most important things we recommend our clients do is to spend a significant amount of effort on marketing initiatives. No matter how good your product is, small business owners, startups, and inventors can’t afford to overlook marketing.

Because marketing is the rocket fuel that grows your business!

Converting Strategies to Measurable Objectives

Last year, our product design firm in Florida shared some strategies on how to market your product.

We get it, these might only sound easy on paper. We’re aware that the scariest part is not knowing if you’ll make money by spending money on these strategies.

You want to know what return you’ll receive if you invest your time, effort and hard-earned money in these strategies. In other words, you want to know your ROI (Return on Investment).

At our product design firm in Florida, we believe the best way to alleviate any uncertainty is to set objectives within a time constraint. Then you can determine how effective your strategies are and where to spend your time and energy.

Basically, a timed objective could be as simple as “I want my Instagram post to receive 10,000 likes by the end of the week.”

Here are a few tips on what you should measure when going about your digital marketing strategies.

Customer engagement and content marketing give you the opportunity to get feedback and build trust with your audience. Here are some ways our product design firm in Florida uses to stay on track:

• Social media: Constantly measuring the number of likes, shares and types of comments we receive across all channels is key to our success.
• Reviews: We make sure to encourage the development of and track the number of reviews we receive, as well as the type and the tone.
• Events: Always record attendance at events so you can identify which ones were most successful. You can then analyze what factors contributed to this and incorporate them in the future.
• YouTube and Podcasts: It may be obvious, but make sure to track the number of views or downloads on your published content and how long they stay engaged with the content.
• Website and blogs: This is a big one! We measure clickthroughs, number of visits, frequently visited pages and much, much more.
