Offers Marketers Insight to Gain Competitive Advantage in 2008
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 04/15/08 -- Today, the eMetrics Marketing Optimization Summit announced the results of a survey of web analytics and marketing professionals. Conducted over the course of three weeks in Q1 2008, the informal survey provides unique insights into the tools and online marketing channels that have an impact on business.The goal of the survey was to determine the tools that marketing and analytics professionals currently use, and perhaps more importantly, the marketing channels they are optimizing to meet and surpass business goals. Not surprisingly, the survey results found that the most measured marketing channels are search, 82 percent, email, 79 percent, and online advertising, 78 percent.
Nearly 75 percent of survey respondents indicated that they are optimizing conversion rates and landing page effectiveness, while customer satisfaction was the least optimized. This signifies that customer satisfaction is a largely overlooked metric that could offer a significant competitive advantage to those who embrace it.
When asked how marketers and analysts are integrating data across online channels, 84 percent of survey respondents indicated they are using one or more of the three manual methods for integrating data, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint and Sneaker Net. The 27 percent of survey respondents who are using fully integrated data streams represent the small but growing number of analytics professionals who understand the importance of getting a big-picture view of how online and offline channels work together to achieve business goals.
