  28. Measuring your Return on Investment 2 Focal Points Today • Marketing: The process by which companies create customer interest in goods or services • Return on Investment: A performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment

  29. Measuring your Return on Investment • Marketing • Old School: • Search the newspapers and visit the dealership • New School: • People on average spend 6 hours researching cars online before they step into a dealership. The same will happen for solar & energy efficiency

  30. Measuring your Return on Investment • Marketing • Old School: • Paying fees to advertise using TV, Newspaper, Radio, Mailers, Door Hangs • New School: • Lead Generation paying only on a per lead basis or cost per application basis

  31. Measuring your Return on Investment • Marketing • Old School: • Eyeballs have diminished drastically in this group due to instant information resulting in advertising noise • New School: • Marketing campaigns with a strong offer & call to action then create a referral program

  32. Measuring your Return on Investment • Marketing • Old School: • Waiting on your phone to ring and hoping that your messaging strikes an audience • New School: • Twitter, Facebook, Blog, Diggit, Articles, Advertorials, You Tube, Bitley, SEO

  33. Measuring your Return on Investment • Return on Investment • Old School: • Spend $2,000 monthly on a diverse mix of TV, newspaper, door hangs and penny savers • New School: • Spend $500 on marketing utilizing lead generation measures to track and monitor the number of leads created

  34. Measuring your Return on Investment • Return on Investment • Closing Rates: • Percentage of leads that are converted into sales • Cost per Sale/ Advertising: • Total advertising dollars spent divided by # of closed deals • Gross per deal: • Typically would like to see gross being 8-10x’s more than what spent

  35. Measuring your Return on Investment • Return on Investment • Typical lower margin industries: • 10-15% of gross profit spent on advertising • If you gross $2,000 on an Energy Efficiency retrofit • May be happy spending $200-$300 in advertising for that sale

  36. Measuring your Return on Investment • Return on Investment • Closing rates vary on the quality of the opportunities that you generated or purchased. • Cost per lead does not matter, only closing rates and cost per sale

  37. Measuring your Return on Investment • Be a Winner in your Market! • Become internet savvy and utilize the many tools that are now becoming mainstream • Word of mouth is still vital as well as referral programs • Track your marketing efforts and lead generation • Push dollars towards your best ROI and cost per sale
