"Teradata and Econsultancy teamed up to survey more than 400 senior-level marketers at global corporations - some with revenues of more than $3 billion. Based on their responses, here are five steps for creating a successful digital marketing campaign. To read more about the facts and figures cited in each step, download the e-book here.
Step 1: Get Personal
A combined 37 percent of enterprises cite personalization as a top priority (32 percent) or the highest priority (5 percent). Only one-third of the surveyed organizations said personalization was either a low priority or no priority at all.
Step 2: Use Technology to Your Advantage
Of the organizations surveyed, 62 percent plan to buy more software that enables them to improve customer service and satisfaction. Global enterprises know that meeting the challenges of a changing marketing landscape is much easier with the right technology.
Step 3: Create a Flexible Budget
You have to be willing to adjust your budget to the market trends. Enterprise organizations allocate nearly 2.5 percent of their total revenue to digital marketing alone. These organizations are also increasing their digital marketing budget every year, with an average increase of 14 percent. It's crucial that marketers put dollars into the highest-performing channels, which in most cases are digital.
Step 4: Choose Your Channels Wisely
In 2014, enterprise organizations spent about 25 percent of their marketing budget on digital channels and 75 percent on traditional channels. By 2019, it's estimated that digital channel spend will account for nearly 40 percent of overall marketing spend. As digital marketing spend increases, it's important to put your dollars into the right channels.
Step 5: Constantly Look for Ways to Improve
One way to improve is to use new technology. When looking to invest in new technology, enterprise organizations identify marketing attribution, marketing clouds, and audience management systems as their three top and most immediate priorities. Forty-eight percent plan to add a marketing attribution system in the next 12 to 24 months, and 46 percent plan to add a marketing cloud or marketing application management system within the same timetable."
