A moment we reflexively turn to a device to act

on a need we have in that moment – to learn, discover,

find or buy something.

Intent-rich moment when decisions are being made

and preferences are being shaped.

5 Ways to Improve Your Digital

Program

Justin Kerley

@KerleyJ

A digital program means something different to everyone

It’s that way for a reason! There is no one-size-fits-all approach

The truth is, there’s no magic bullet, a bag of tricks is only going to get you so far

So I can’t come up with 5 ways to improve your digital program without sounding like I’m selling snake oil

Users are trying to solve a problem

Real-World Example

As people continue to search for answers to their problems, they look to others like them

Case studies, blog posts and testimonials are a great way to show how you’ve made your customers’ lives/businesses better

Real-World Example

• Real World Example – Line/Shape/Space

Understand your audience – stop thinking about how you can sell your products to them, start thinking about what problems they have and what they might be interested in

Real World Example

When you look around at your competitive landscape, chances are you see a lot of the same things

How are you going to differentiate yourself from the field?

Real World Example

Source: The Marketing Blender

The deluge of content that can come with giving up your contact information, may cause users to hesitate

Source: The Marketing Blender

All is not lost, if you’re going to contact a prospect/customer via e-mail, speak to them as if they are an audience of one

Real World Example

Entire List Blast: Open Rate = 18%, Click Rate = 14%, Unsubscribe = 0.31%

Real World Example

Personalized E-mails: Open Rate = 33%, Click Rate = 21%, Unsubscribe = 0.21%

Remarketing is chance for you to re-engage with a past visitor with relevant ad creative

General remarketing ads are very effective, but tying a user’s behavior on your site to specific messaging increases that impact

Real World Example

• Remarketing as a whole has a cost/conversion of $23.88 compared to $76.47 for all other campaigns

• 100% of conversions from remarketing came from specific audience ad groups

Source: FormStack

This boils down to three major issues –quality of data collected, attribution and understanding the value of a lead

What about phone calls? How are you tracking those leads?

Call tracking software can help attribute the source of those calls

Real World Example

Form submissions from search accounted for 175 leads over a 30 day period. When adding in calls from AdWords click-to-call and calls from our call tracking software, leads generated by search increased to 391 over the last 30 days

Real World Example

Form submissions from search accounted for 28 leads over a 30 day period. When adding in calls from AdWords click-to-call and calls from our call tracking software, leads generated by search increased to 114 over the last 30 days

In a multi-screen world or if the buying process may require multiple touch points prior to a sale – how do you attribute what generated your lead?

The reality is it’s somewhere in the middle

You need to know the sales close rate for leads and the average sale price (preferably the lifetime customer value)

Tying it all together

When setting up a goal – you can add the value of that goal completion

Various reports will then help further define the value of a marketing channel

Or the value of a specific page on site

Track the progress of the various channels of your plan and do more of what’s working and do less of what’s not

Real World Example

To promote bariatric surgery, first step is to get users to signup for a seminar that covers the process and what they need to commit to

Real World Example

A landing page was created that featured an introductory video, testimonials and FAQ. The call-to-action featured registration for two available dates

Real World Example

A landing page was created that featured an introductory video, testimonials and FAQ. The call-to-action featured registration for two available dates. Ads were run on AdWords, Bing and Facebook

Real World Example

After the first seminar date past, we increased the budget for the Facebook campaign

Thank you
