Today's Good Marketing Tip: Measure Your Advertising

So right now I'm watching the super bowl and can't believe that GoDaddy is the only advertiser that has a measurable call to action. Why haven't other advertisers figured this out.  Whether the call to action is going to the web or calling an 800 number, if you can't measure it don't do it!

What's so embarassing is that these advertiser are spending millions.  Bud Light, Coke, Hyndi, should all know better.  I guess they're just too used to not being held accountable for their marketing.  I for one think it's a bit disgraceful but I suppose it's different when you're spending tat much money - but it shouldn't be.

If you want to make the most of your advertising, then make sure you have a clear goal and know whether or not you've achieved it.  If you don't have the means to measure a specific goal, then change the goal or find a way to measure it before making a committment.  This can dramatically improve the effectiveness of your advertising and ensure that you're getting the most bang for your buck!
