Granted, KPI’s matter, in order to track performance and understand areas in your marketing strategy, where improvement is needed. These are directly aligned with your goals, helping you understand if you’re truly achieving them or not. However, in a result oriented world, there seems to be a rush to achieve KPIs, without actually checking if they indeed synonymous with what your brand is working towards. This lessens the room for excellent, out-of-the-box thinking in areas where your brand could benefit, focusing more on showcasing the results your marketing strategies have achieved, and less on providing great services to customers.

Why is great marketing taking a backseat?

Each brand has their own set of goals at specific points, which form the basis of their marketing campaigns. KPIs must typically be in cohesion with these goals, to understand and craft a marketing strategy that achieves them successfully. However, many digital marketers often look at short term results, devising tactics to achieve goals immediately, with customer service and retention taking a backseat. What many seem to forget is that success is not simply defined by results, but the path taken to achieve those results.

Tips on shifting focus to customers

Rather than targeting KPIs, focus on customers instead. This ensures that relevant, long-term customers are brought in through marketing efforts, with higher quality results.

• Serve customers, not objectives

Before, during, and after setting objectives, always put your customer’s needs first. Rather than thinking ‘how can we sell this product or service to the customer?’, think ‘how will the product or service benefit the customer and how will we help them make a choice?’. Use available technology to collect and analyze present data to understand customers. With this data, you can come up with customer-oriented marketing that focuses on strategy and not outcome.

• Market smart, not hard

There’s no point spending hours sending out emails and sharing posts to everyone, hoping that a few customers will eventually bite. This is simply impersonal without thinking of marketing smartly. Instead, look at latest marketing trends that align with your strategies and objectives and spend more time keeping in touch with the ever changing digital marketing KPIS. This keeps you thinking about smart marketing strategies that take less effort and time and produce all-round results.

• Increase your work motivation

It’s quite obvious that anyone who isn’t happy with the work they do will produce mechanical efforts that don’t achieve results. Digital marketing revolves around creativity. If you’re feeling in a slump, take a break to rejuvenate, read current marketing magazines and do something that gives you happiness. Once you’re feeling food inside, out-of-the-box thinking will come naturally.It can be easy to forget about your customers, in the rush to achieve success. But make sure to stay motivated, creative, and on your feet. After all, there’s nothing like a good challenge. Where do you see your brand positioned in the following year? Industry domination?
