Marketing ROI : The Path to Campaign, Customer, and Corporate Profitability

Customer Reviews:

Introducing Rigor to Marketing Spending

By Scott H. Strickland - November 25, 2003

With Marketing ROI, Jim Lenskold has introduced a very useful level of financial rigor into what the typically imprecise process of targeting investments in marketing and then measuring their impact on company profits. Two key concepts introduced are how Marketing ROI is correctly calculated (many companies do it wrong), and more importantly, how the Marketing ROI informantion is used to manage marketing investments, looking at the incremental investment in marketing, and its incremental effect on sales and profitablity. Jim covers the subject from a big company perspective, focusing on multi-product, multi-customer segment environments, but the concepts in the book can also be applied to small companies concerned with spending marketing dollars most effectively.This is a key text to be used along with the latest in customer relationship management techniques and customer information technology to manage the profitability of a company's demand chain.

Solid Read, Great for Marketers within Larger Corporate Settings

By Ian Rhys Palmer "I.R. Palmer (www.marketingfo... - March 13, 2008

Marketing ROI aims to serve as a comprehensive reference for marketers to understand ROI principles and formulas and apply marketing ROI. In my opinion, this books is meant primarily for senior/seasoned marketers - marketing directors to VPs of Marketing - as well others in executive management, and primarily for larger Fortune 500 type companies. The strengths of this particular book are its areas of focus on the foundation of marketing ROI principles, outlines of key financial concepts, identifying where ROI measurements go wrong, analyzing investment and return patterns - acquisition and retention, assessing ROI thresholds, reinforcing the marketing manager's responsibility for campaign performance, and reviewing issues that are prevalent within larger corporate settings. This is worth the cost of investment, but additional information would be useful in any reprints - more detailed implementation tactics, ROI forecasting strategies for small and mid-market companies, and... read more

Marketing Meets Finance

By Andrew Everett - July 6, 2008

I give this book four stars. The writing style is dull, but the content is intelligent and thorough.

Lenskold provides models to evaluate the expected return on investment (ROI) and profitability of marketing campaigns under consideration. The author rightly points out that the net present value (NPV) of gross margin - not revenue - is the basis for these calculations. Campaigns with an ROI lower than the cost of capital will be rejected. Remaining options can be prioritized in favor those with the highest ROI.

The models all include projected results of the campaigns. Projections can be based on historical results or tests. While reading the book, I was thinking that companies not already using an ROI approach to make marketing decisions probably lack historical data to correlate sales with specific marketing investments, making accurate projections difficult to say the least. But you've got to start somewhere.
