More Than a Quarter of Web Marketers ‘Flying Blind’
Web marketers lack both the confidence and analytics to properly assess results, according to a study from WebTrends.
Confidence in marketing efforts varied among those surveyed. Only five percent of marketers were very confident in the measurement of their current online marketing efforts. Just over a quarter (26 percent) admitted they were flying blind, while the same percentage (26 percent) was moderately confident. Forty-three percent indicated they were fairly confident with their efforts.
WebTrends asserts the low confidence comes from a lack of knowledge when it comes to measurement. Only one in five respondents indicated they have a complete handle on their conversion, marketing ROI, and revenue metrics. Twenty-three percent reported they dont currently have any metrics, and 29 percent rely on clickthrough rates alone.
