4. Monitoring and Optimization
- Budget Reviews: Monthly assessments to reallocate underperforming funds to high-impact areas.
- Platform Performance Reports: Evaluated weekly by SayPro’s Monitoring and Evaluation Office.
- Community Feedback: Offline campaigns are assessed via surveys and interviews for reach and impact.
- Digital Analytics: Tools like Google Analytics, Meta Insights, and ad performance dashboards inform real-time shifts.
5. Outcomes from Recent Allocation Adjustments (May 2025):
- Redirecting 10% of offline flyer budget to targeted Facebook ads led to a 22% increase in program sign-ups.
- Shifting webinar coordination to a dedicated content team improved attendance by 18% month-over-month.
- Consolidating offline event spending into fewer, higher-impact workshops resulted in better attendance and engagement.
Conclusion:
SayPro ensures effective marketing resource allocation by continuously balancing investment across both digital and traditional platforms. This adaptive and performance-driven approach maximizes reach, supports inclusive communication, and aligns closely with SayPro’s strategic goals and community-centered mission.
