Performance marketing is a result-driven marketing strategy where the brands pay only when their objectives have been met. Performance marketing services offer brands to not pay for a campaign or Ads traditionally but based on how well the ads perform by measuring the number of clicks, impressions, and shares. Performance marketing is principally a real-time evaluation of the brand’s performance which helps the Performance marketing consultants optimize the website to generate ROIs, leads, and traffic on your page.
How do you measure performance-based digital marketing?
One of the key factors in evaluating how well your website is performing is through measuring KPIs. KPIs further use certain metrics to determine the outcome, such as Cost per click, cost per acquisition (CPA), and return on ad spend (ROAS). The agencies will use these metrics to optimize the strategies.
Let us now understand how performance-based digital marketing generates revenue, sales, and most importantly the ideal audience.
1. Cost per Click:Â The brands will only pay if their ads get clicked. This is an effective way to increase the traffic on your page. Based on the Analytics the ads budget can be adjusted accordingly. However, there can be a minor glitch, which may exhaust your budget soon. This may happen if any of your competitors purposely click on your ads. However, brands should not refrain from using Click per rate, this is generally directly related to the Conversion/Lead generations.
2. Cost per Impression: This shows you the number of times your website has been viewed and the cost would be incurred for every thousand views. To cite an example; A company’s website has been viewed 15000 times so the cost incurred would be the base rate x 15. So this is fair, isn’t it?
3. Cost per sale: with this the advertisers pay only when your Ads generate the leads and that result in success(sale).
4. Cost per Leads: Cost per Sale and Cost per Lead is more or less the same, where CPS leads the audiences to buy the products (sales). Cost per Lead inspires the audience to subscribe to newsletters, E-mail which results in further sales.
