✅ Steps to Tag and Document Marketing Channels with Highest ROI

🔹 Step 1: Define ROI Criteria

Before documenting the ROI, you need to define how you’ll measure it. ROI can be measured by:

• Revenue Generated: Income from sales, donations, etc.
• Lead Generation: Number of new prospects or contacts.
• Engagement: Click-through rates, likes, shares, comments.
• Conversions: Sign-ups, form completions, purchases.

Example ROI Formula:

textCopyEditROI (%) = (Revenue - Cost) / Cost × 100

Where:

• Revenue: Total income generated from the campaign.
• Cost: Total spending on the marketing channel (ad spend, software, etc.).

🔹 Step 3: Document Channels and Calculate ROI

Create a tracking sheet to log data and calculate ROI. Below is a suggested template:

Marketing Channel	Revenue Generated (ZAR)	Cost (ZAR)	ROI (%)	Key Metrics
Google Ads	30,000	10,000	200%	CTR: 5%, Conversions: 500, CPA: 20 ZAR
Facebook/Instagram Ads	18,000	6,000	200%	Leads: 300, Cost per lead: 20 ZAR
Email Campaigns (May 2025)	15,000	3,000	400%	Open rate: 30%, Click rate: 15%
Organic Search (SEO)	25,000	0	N/A	Traffic: 10,000 visits, Conversion Rate: 2%
Affiliate Marketing	12,000	4,000	200%	Affiliate Revenue: 12,000 ZAR

🔹 Step 4: Evaluate and Prioritize Channels

After calculating the ROI for each marketing channel, you can use the data to determine which channels deliver the highest return on investment. Prioritize those channels in your marketing strategy.

For example:

• Email Campaigns might have the highest ROI (400%) because they generated a significant amount of revenue for a low cost.
• Organic Search might generate substantial revenue without additional cost (e.g., no ad spend), but it’s harder to control directly.
• Paid Ads (Google or Social Media) might have a lower ROI due to high competition and ad costs.

🔹 Step 5: Implement Tracking Tags for Future Reporting

To ensure accurate tracking in the future:

• UTM Parameters: Use UTM tags in URLs to track source, medium, and campaign. For example: arduinoCopyEdithttps://saypro.org/donations?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=may2025

This will allow you to track the performance of each marketing initiative in Google Analytics or your CRM.

🧑‍💻 Step 6: Regular Reporting

• Monthly Reports: Review and update the performance of marketing channels every month. Use the ROI analysis to decide where to allocate the marketing budget.
• Dashboard: Create a centralized marketing dashboard (using Google Data Studio, Power BI, or an Excel dashboard) to automatically pull data from different channels for continuous monitoring.

📊 Visualize ROI for Stakeholders

Create a visual report with key performance charts like:

• Bar charts comparing each channel’s ROI
• Pie charts showing the distribution of budget allocation by channel
• Line charts showing month-over-month ROI trends
