That’s the easy answer. After all, it’s your money and your business at stake. You should be learning from every campaign. Here are some basic questions:
(1) How many customers did you reach?
(2) Why did they pick your business?
(3) What was in the ad that made them call or come in?
(4) What media did the best job?
That last question is the result of proper tracking. It’s like going to school. You are given exams to test your knowledge and see if you are ready for the next level. Without the tests, you don’t know how you are doing. Marketing must be measured in the same fashion. Suppose you’re running a weekly newspaper ad. If it never changes from week to week, which week did the best? So you have a small coupon or offer that differs each week and that’s your tracking mechanism. The same applies to any other medium,
