PRO TIPS:CPM: Better for brand advertisers. CPC: best for Direct-response advertisers; most of you should be buying on a CPC. CPL: Best for B2B

48The Seminar Group
WHAT DOES THE AD PRICING MARKET LOOK LIKEInexpensive Average Expensive
CPM$1.25 $3.50 $5-$15+
CPC$0.25 $0.50-$0.75 $1.50+
CPL$25 $50 $100+
All these prices completely depend on your site, pricing,
and business

HOW MUCH SHOULD I SPEND ON ADVERTISING?

53The Seminar Group
KNOWING HOW MUCH YOU ARE WILLINGTO SPEND (AND WITH WHO)
HAS TO DO WITH YOUR RISK TOLERANCE.
54The Seminar Group
?: HOW RISKY ARE
WE?
55The Seminar Group
CHECK YOUR SPEEDOMETER:
AGGRESSIVE OR CONSERVATIVE DRIVER?
IDENTIFYING YOUR APPETITE FOR RISK
56The Seminar Group
AGGRESSIVE
WHEN AN AGGRESSIVE STRATEGY IS RIGHT FOR YOU
ROI
VOLUME
• You are looking to acquire as many new customers as possible in an effort to gain traction and grow wine brand awareness.
• Or you are have fewer metric constraints (spending our budget is more important than measuring it!)
• This strategy means being comfortable with a higher cost per acquisition in exchange.
57The Seminar Group
AGGRESSIVE OR CONSERVATIVE?
CONSERVATIVE
ROI
VOLUME
• Looking to maintain the best profit margin possible,
• You are much more metrics-driven, or potentially cash-strapped.
• This strategy comfortable with simply acquiring less new customers.
58The Seminar Group
Are you comfortable acquiring new users at a loss? (spend $10, make $5)
Are comfortable acquiring new users & breaking even? (spend $10, make $10)
If we break even or lose money now, can we monetize these users in 3, 6, 12 months?
How good were we this month at getting our existing customers to come back and spend time on our site?
How many new users do you want to acquire, and in what time frame? HINT: “As many as possible ASAP” is not good enough. Be specific.

BEFORE COMPLETING A DIGITAL MARKETING PLAN YOU HAVE
TO PROJECT WHAT YOUR EFFORTS WILL DELIVER
61The Seminar Group
LET’S SAY YOU RUN A WINERY THAT HAS THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:
EXAMPLE
WORLD’S GREATEST WINESPrice $100Goal ROI 200%Goal New Customers 1,000Average Conversion Rate
2.00%
Expected Cost Per Click
$1.00
62The Seminar Group
IF WE WANT 1,000 NEW CUSTOMERSAND OUR SITE HAS A 2.0% CONVERSION RATE…
HOW MUCH TRAFFIC DO WE NEED TO DRIVE?*
EXAMPLE
*Yes, we’re assuming this new traffic would convert at the same rate as our current traffic, which may or may not happen. This is modeling, though – it’s not perfect, but it’s useful for
our purposes here.
VISITS = NEW USERS/CONVERSION RATE
63The Seminar Group
WE NEED 50,000 VISITS FOR 1,000 NEW CUSTOMERS. SO HOW MUCH COULD 50K VISITS COST US?
>> TRAFFIC COST: 50,000 VISITS * $1.00/CLICK = $50,000 AD SPEND
EXAMPLE
64The Seminar Group
HOW MUCH WOULD I NEED TO SPEND TO HIT MY TARGET ROI OF 200%?
>> TRAFFIC COST: 50,000 VISITS * $1.00/CLICK = $50,000 AD SPEND
>> CONVERSION: 50,000 VISITS * 2.00% CR = 1,000 CUSTOMERS
>> REVENUE: 1,000 CUSTOMERS * $100 PRICE = $100,000 REVENUE
>> $100,000 REVENUE/$50,000 SPEND = 200% ROI
EXAMPLE
So under these circumstances, we could hit our ROI Goal & New Customer Goal, with a $50,000 marketing budget.
Don’t have $50k? Adjust goals accordingly, this is important!

FINAL WORD ON SOCIAL

WHAT ARE THE VEHICLES RELEVANT IN THE WINE INDUSTRY?
67The Seminar Group
If You Do Not Pay to Advertise on Facebook, It Is Estimated That You Only Reach 3-5% of
Your Fan BaseForbes.com
68The Seminar Group
LAST BUT NOT LEAST,BEFORE DOING ANY ADVERTISING THINK:
HOW GOOD ARE WE DOING THINGS NOW BEFORE WE PAY FOR TRAFFIC?
69The Seminar Group
What is the Conversion Rate, Average Order Value, and Time Spent for:Our best traffic source Our worst traffic source (with the most visits) Our highest traffic source
Do we have appropriate landing pages to make our desired action as simple & easy as possible
Are we confident that paid traffic is going to help us do more of the desired action we want
Are we maximizing what we are getting out of our organic/free traffic (existing partnerships, search, etc.)

74The Seminar Group
Loyalty Coefficient
75The Seminar Group
Let’s Do the MathSo let’s do the math:
• Let’s say you sent 12 marketing emails in the past year to your subscriber list of an average 5,000 members during the year.
• That’s 60,000 emails sent, and you had an opening rate of 30%, or 18,000 emails opened.
• Your CTO calculated out to be 20% of 18,000 emails, or 3,600 unique clicks.
• You ended up with a 5% conversion rate, which resulted in 180 orders totaling $54,000, or an average order size of $300 (exclusive of shipping & tax).
• Your net revenue for the year equals $54,000/5,000 emails, or $10.80 per email subscriber.
• Assuming an average 3 year tenure for an email subscriber (LTV), net revenue jumps to $32.40.
• Discount LTV by weighted average of Loyalty Coefficient.

Final Thoughts
Things to consider in your DTC marketing strategy:
• What makes you different or your story compelling?
