What does that mean? We keep hearing about doing more with less. At LKCS, we believe showing a return on all marketing and advertising costs.

What LKCS thinks about 2009:

• Superfluous spending will be eliminated.
• Online channels will be leveraged to support account-holder acquisition/retention efforts.
• Marketers will focus on metrics that measure and drive business.
• Marketers need to validate ROI.
• Analytics and database marketing will increase in importance.
• Marketing campaign metrics will be created and tracked to measure/demonstrate effectiveness, justify marketing spend, improve allocation of resources/expenses.

We also know that many of our clients lack the technology and resources to measure data. Many also have trouble accessing, gathering and analyzing the data to report on the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns.

Without this type of measurement, marketing budgets are being cut. The result is that some clients are doing less marketing and experiencing declines in business at a time when they should be doing more marketing to grow in a struggling economy.
