Things to Measure – Defining the Stick

7 11 2007

Today I dedicated to mostly figuring out things to actually measure to get a sense of ad effectiveness.

Now I am sure every company has it’s on measures, but I am curious what would work best for any situation. I know there is definitely not one universal one size fits all measure, and if you try and make it cookie cutter, or one size fits all, I think you have another thing coming. Here are the measures I came up with today, and some possible applications;

Attendance – An annual function measures attendance and reports a significant (i.e. noticeable) spike in their yearly attendance the year after the ad campaign is instated (or rather the year the ad campaign is targeted for).

SalesĀ  of Services – A service sales company sees a spike in the amount of sales they have of their services.

Sales of Goods – A goods company sees a spike in the amount of sales they have of their product

Revenue Increase (NET) – After the growth of sales, that growth is not only measured in quantity of the sales but in the economic quality and benefit for your client.

Public Opinion Polls – A positive increase (better than a previous poll which needs to be taken) in the overall emotional appeal/idea that someone gets in their head when they see or recognize your brand.

There are more to come, but It’s 11:37 pm, and it’s time for me to close up the books and get into the sack. Until the sun rises again… in 8 hours.
