Which Marketing Metrics Do You Really Need to Know? A recent book, "Marketing Metrics: 50+ Metrics Every Executive Should Master " (Wharton, 2006), claims that there are over 50 metrics every executive should master. Faced with such a daunting number, most marketers are likely to want to know which of the 50 are critical, and which are merely nice to know. The truth is: there is no specific number of measurements that the effective marketer must have, but revenue, profit, and return on investment are fundamental for every marketing organization. For many small companies, the number of important measurements and metrics will be considerably less than 50, but for the larger and more complex businesses the number will be considerably more... .

A Note to Readers Crash Course Kick-Off I took a virtual stroll around the world headquarters of MarketingProfs this week to see what was going on in the various MP departments like virtual seminars, custom content, the blog, and forum. At Customer Service Mission Control, Shelley Ryan tipped me off to this Thursday's Crash Course in Direct Marketing, the first in a 10-seminar series running now through March. In the marketing world, “webinar” often has a salesy infomercial-ish connotation, which is why we call our MarketingProfs seminars "virtual seminars," not webinars or webcasts. The events are strictly educational. In other words, you are signing up to learn valuable information: not to become a sales lead. In her first “Crash Course” seminar, DM expert Ruth Stevens covers the elements that every marketing professional needs to know -- from the characteristics that define the scope of direct marketing, to the strategies and tactics that can make or break a DM campaign. You’ll gain a clear understanding of the language of direct marketing. And you’ll learn from actual case studies and successful examples that you can translate to your own marketing programs. Sounds cool, right? It’s also a steal. You can’t beat the price of $199/year for all events in that series, plus the many more Shelley and colleagues Roy Young and Val Frazee organize monthly. (On average, we produce 2 or 3 seminars a month.) Check out the DM seminar series, kicking off this week, here. Thanks for stopping by! As always, my door is open to your comments, criticism, feedback and suggestions. Until next week, Ann Handley
