Extract more value from your marketing spend
What if you could save 10 percent or 15 percent from $100 million of your marketing spend? Such a savings could dramatically impact your company’s pipeline and bottom line—especially with today’s marketing budgets under pressure to accomplish more with less.
In large organizations, CMOs, CPOs, and CFOs all collaborate on marketing spend, striving to extract the most from every dollar spent. Marketing leaders execute the campaigns and programs that generate leads and revenue for the business. Procurement executives negotiate and maintain competitive supply chain costs for marketing materials. Finance leaders monitor costs across marketing and all departments and allocate the budget to maintain the company’s competitive advantage. Marketing, procurement, and finance executives all have a vested interest in maximizing marketing return on investment (ROI).
Yet, they face challenges that include high unit marketing costs, lower impact from the marketing budget than intended, and the diluted control over spend that comes from engaging multiple suppliers in multiple business units. The challenges are seen across multiple categories, but especially in the areas of print, branded merchandise, and point-of-purchase marketing items where organizations spend multiple millions annually.
When the organization has clear visibility into their print marketing spend, and when the end user has a ‘guided’ buying-channel experience, execution is integrated across channels and campaigns. This can result in faster lead times, flawless delivery, and improved ROI.
