Calculator-iPadWe've talked about the economic downturn and how to get the most bang for your marketing budget, but what about quantifying your marketing efforts?

You can trim your cost down and you can allocate your marketing budget on different methods, but if you don't know what's working best for you does it really matter? The short answer is no. The best way to stretch your marketing dollar is to quantify your efforts and put most of your budget towards the marketing vehicles that are working.

We spend marketing dollars to display at trade shows, to attend events, to hold conferences, and to produce marketing material for campaigns. How do we know what we are getting in return? How can we quantify the results to make sure
they are worth the revenue spent? Let me show you how easy it is to quantify your marketing efforts and in return stretch that marketing dollar a little further.

Tracking all of your marketing efforts is so important. If more people did it there would so much time and money wasted on ineffectual marketing
