For each activity, develop a summary of what you put out (costs, time) compared to what you get back and when/where.
Where you don’t have hard numbers, assign a judgmental value or allocation.
Come to a “bottom line” to be used for comparing and balancing your marketing investments.
Continue to improve and refine your measurement system.
Find ways to make it work versus reasons why it can’t.
Avoid “silo” decision making.
