Strategy
Where are you going?
Strategy should be the first step in your process towards achieving desired results from your online marketing. Whether you prefer Porter, Mintzberg or Drucker, their take on strategy all boils down to the same idea: strategy is about where you want to take your company.
Your online marketing strategy is not set in stone. Just as a commander adapts to changes on the battlefield, so should strategy adapt to changes online. It should always be consistent with your overall marketing strategy and the message you are sending out through other channels.
The word strategy originates from ancient Greece and refers to the commander which sets out objectives and tactics on the battlefield. Strategy is analogous to that commander; it assesses resources, sets the objectives, decides where to compete, and with what means. Determining your objectives is a critical step for successful optimization.
Strategy guides the choice of online goals, and goals determine the choice of KPIs. Web analytics can then be used to measure, monitor and optimize those metrics that affect the bottom line. The KPIs provide a framework for the analysis of your online marketing efforts. It pin-points areas for improvement and generates new ideas.
As Lewis Caroll said; “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there”. Strategy ultimately decides which metrics drive value for your company. Web analytics provides the means to measure, analyze and optimize them.
