- Optimizations refer to incremental improvements made over time to a marketing program. These are changes informed by data or experimentation to determine if an activity is working well or not performing.
- If done correctly, optimizations’ impact compound far into the future, resulting in great gains for your marketing.
- Studies show that marketers struggle to connect the dots between marketing and ROI. Optimizations help make those connections by showing continuous improvements to executive teams and shareholders.
- Experimentation and optimization is the fifth actionable component for Iterative Marketing. See the full list below.
Charity of the Week:
Six Actionable Components are the actions we take as marketers to implement Iterative Marketing. They don’t have to be implemented all at once. They are:
- Brand Discovery: Uncover how your buying audience feels about your product or service and how they rationalize the decision to buy.
- Persona Discovery: Document the individuals involved in the buying process in a way that allows us to empathize with them in a consistent way.
- Journey Mapping: Plot the stages and paths of the persona lifecycle, documenting each persona’s unique state of mind, needs and concerns at each stage.
- Channel and Content Alignment: Align every piece of content and marketing channel/activity to a primary persona and primary marketing stage, identifying new channels and content needs where opportunities exist.
- Experimentation and Optimization: Conduct thoughtful experiments designed to produce statistically significant business insights and apply the results to optimize performance.
- Reporting and Feedback: Report and review data and insights to drive decisions in content and strategy, as well as information to be used by the organization as a whole.
