“CMO Guide to Marketing ROI” Offers Framework for Improved Revenue Performance

Marketers already sit on untapped revenue potential; they need disciplined approaches to unlock it

For Immediate Release

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., (December 20, 2010) – Aprimo® Inc., a global leader in integrated, on-demand marketing software solutions, and Lenskold Group, a leading innovator of marketing ROI solutions, today released a new white paper as part of the Lenskold Group’s CMO Guide series.  The “CMO Guide to Marketing ROI” outlines how marketers can use data-driven insights, measurements and ROI analytics to design and deliver smarter marketing programs that improve profitability and performance.

“Our recent research revealed that one in four CMOs believes their greatest hurdle is ‘doing more with less,’ which means there can be no guesswork about which marketing investments are contributing to new revenue and which are not,” said Lisa Arthur, CMO of Aprimo. “The good news is that most companies we encounter are already sitting on untapped revenue potential; they simply need a disciplined approach to unlock it.”

“It is a critical time for CMOs to leverage marketing measurements and ROI practices to improve marketing’s contribution to bottom line results,” said Jim Lenskold, president of Lenskold Group and marketing ROI expert. “This white paper outlines a proactive approach for using ROI scenarios and measurement techniques to guide strategic and tactical decisions to achieve ‘big wins’ and lasting capabilities.”

The “CMO Guide to Marketing ROI” points to untapped profit potential locked inside many marketing organizations. It identifies how CMOs can create the opportunities for successful measurement and financial analysis within complex marketing environments. “Today’s CMO must instill an insight-driven culture that is set on proving and improving ROI, and this starts with asking the right questions,” added Arthur.

Marketing performance is improved with a commitment to address key questions such as:

  • What components of your marketing mix are not delivering sufficient results?
  • Are you properly accounting for lifetime value?
  • What is the optimal marketing mix?
  • Where do prospects leak from the purchase funnel?
