Why targeting matters:• Basic setups will rarely cover it these days.• You need to understand what you aren’t.• How to make the most of a limited budget.


Stuff you can do today: • Make sure you’re using Adwords Goodies.• Get some negative keywords added.• Get goals setup and conversion tracking.• Talk to Adster about flexLOCAL.


6. Don’t lose the measurement moment: ‘Tracking all those crazy customers’.

5. The measure it moment


• Revenue per customer• Margin / profit

• Close rate• Customer retention• Referral rate


Good numbers to know:LTV x spam x close rate x margin = Lead value

$5000 x .05 x 20% x 35% = $332.50


Now what if we knew...


• Where exactly our ad dollars were going?• Which channels produced things we wanted?• A way to align dollars with the things we

want!




Is it that easy?• Define the marketing objectives.• Understand what drives these outcomes.• Optimize campaign & media spend accordingly.


Key takeaway & thoughts: • Map out what a new customer is worth!• What do you want your users to do?• Get analytics & conversion tracking setup on your site!• Which moments can you afford to be there for? Which

moments CAN’T you afford to lose?


In conclusion & parting thoughts:

• Micro Moments – they’re happening in Edmonton!• If you better understood these moments and their value, would that influence your marketing decisions?

"Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted.The trouble is I don't know which half."

John Wanamaker – 100 years before the interweb was invented!

Is there any value in having a partner help you understand which half?

Thank you.
