marketing tactics tangible “

THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET OF
WEB MARKETING
MARKETING FRAMEWORK
1. SET STRATEGY: What are your higher level goals? What does success look like?
2. PLAN TACTICS: What types of communications will we use to achieve our goals and how will we measure results?
3. EXECUTE COMMUNICATION: Communicate with your audience using planned tactics.
4. ASSESS RESULTS: Did we achieve our goals? What can we do better next time?
SET STRATEGY
o What does success look like?
o Marketing goals should relate
back to the business goals
of the institution
What are “marketing goals” that can relate back to “business goals”?
PLAN TACTICS
o What medium is the best way to
articulate your message?
o What is the strategy for the
communication?
o How are you going to measure it?
TIME IS MONEY
Planning not only includes
strategy, but also infrastructure.
Will an in-house solution or an
outsourced one be more cost
effective?

EXECUTE YOUR COMMUNICATIONS
ASSESS YOUR RESULTS
o What was achieved as a direct result of the communication?
o Did that conversion result in a return?
o What can I do better next time?
EXAMPLE: EMAIL MARKETING
Set up tracking for an email that is
sent out to prospects, encouraging
them to fill out an online
application for admissions.
SET UP TRACKING
Two Key Tools:
o Goals
o URL Builder
STEP ONE: SET UP�A GOAL / FUNNEL
http://www.google.com/support/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55578 STEP TWO: BUILD A CAMPAIGN URL
STEP THREE: PUT THE TWO TOGETHER
Goal Conversion STEP THREE: PUT THE TWO TOGETHER
Figure out ROI on an email
campaign that sent out 3,000
emails, had 358 click throughs,
resulting in 130 applications. The
email took 2 hours to complete, at
the cost of $40/hr staff time and
$0.015/per email.
EXAMPLE: EMAIL MARKETING
ROI CALCULATOR http://www.marketingtoday.com/tools/roi_calculator.htm
DOLLARIZE EVERYTHING
Assigning a monetary
value to your results
gives you a common
denominator to compare costs to
outcomes
ASSIGNING VALUE
Average Tuition Paid: $20,000/year
Conversion rate from application to enroll: 20%
20% of $20,000 is $4,000
$4,000 IS OUR “AVERAGE PROFIT PER SALE”
VALUES FOR THE CALCULATOR
o Number of Pieces: 3,000
o Total Program Costs: ($0.015 X 3,000) + ($40 X 2) = $125
o Response Rate: 358 clicks/3,000 = 11.93%
o Conversion Rate: 130 apps/358 = 36.31%
o Average Profit Per Sale: $4,000
ROI Results
SHARE YOUR SUCCESS
o Make it tangible
o Give it context
o Offer recommendations

of your audience

SOCIAL NETWORKS
Saying “We should have a Facebook page” is not a marketing strategy!!!!!
http://doteduguru.com/id2947-cafe-new-paltz-a-yielding-success.html
The Goal: Increase quality of incoming students
o 70% of the members who deposited were from the highest admissions selectivity group
o Highest selectivity group jumped from 30% the previous year to 37%
SOCIAL NETWORKS: WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR?
⇒ Allowing your audience to become a friend/fan/follower of your institution (and then converting the to meaningful actions!)
⇒ Engaging incoming students over the summer to prevent “sugar off ”
⇒ Giving alumni volunteers a way to interact with each other and share tips
SOCIAL NETWORKS: HOW YOU MEASURE ROI
⇒ Easy dissemination of information: What would it
cost you in other mediums? What was your
conversion rate with calls-to-action?
⇒ Ease sugar off: Did the percentage of summer sugar off go
down? How much value does that translate into?
⇒ Support alumni volunteers: Where your volunteers more
successful as a result? What value does that translate into?
BOTTOM LINE ON MEASUREMENT
Are you brining in more
value to the institution than it is costing to
implement your strategies?
KEY TAKEAWAYS
⇒ Start with bottom-line
related goals, not with
the technology
⇒ Measure everything
⇒ Dollarize your results to
calculate ROI
⇒ Always ask what you can do
better next time
