A Marketing Performance Statement • Is an Accounting style report that is used to summarize the performance of the Marketing Efforts in a Business • It is created using a modified income or operating statement found in accounting • It is designed to reflect the effects of your decisions on demand, revenues and marketing profits
Marketing Performance is • Measured first and foremost in terms of customer demand (quantity sold), Sales Revenue, Gross Profit and Marketing Profit • Other metrics of performance such as customer awareness, customer satisfaction, customer retention, market share, switching rates, return rates, etc. are secondary to the overarching goal of profit

Marketing Contribution • The contribution marketing makes to cover the non-marketing costs or general operating costs of the business. • Operating Expenses or Overheads • Market Research & Product Development (R&D) • Administration & staff salaries, Info Systems • General Overheads e.g., offices, telephones
Marketing Contribution • Marketing Contribution to the Operation’s Net Profit, MC • Often called the Profit after Promotion Expenses Are Subtracted From Gross Profit
Marketing Contribution to Profit • Contribution that Marketing makes to cover general administrative, research and development costs. • On the Operating Statement it is the profit after expenses for the period’s marketing effort (all 4 P’s) are subtracted but before the general overhead and administration, research and development expenses are deducted.
