In the competitive and crowded healthcare landscape, prioritizing the measurement and reporting of analytics is essential for sustained success. Marketing teams may take on tracking and measurement with the best of intentions, but too often they find themselves with missing or inactionable data. The key is to have conversations ahead of campaign development to ensure the team is aligned on a process for capturing and interpreting relevant data. Effective use of marketing analytics allows organizations to establish benchmarks, inform decision-making, evaluate success and calculate Return on Marketing Investment (ROMI).
Here are the seven key steps for tracking and reporting data. These best practices will help marketing teams enhance the effectiveness of their strategies, campaigns and tactics by continually uncovering actionable insights.
- Establish Business and Marketing Goals: Clearly define what you aim to achieve.
- Agree on Definitions of Key Terms: Ensure everyone understands the terminology used.
- Identify Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Determine the metrics that will track your progress.
- Identify Data Sources: Know where your data is coming from.
- Agree on Report Format: Choose a format that best presents your data.
