Performance marketing strategy

Performance marketing is a form of digital marketing where advertisers pay for specific actions such as clicks, leads, sales, or other conversions. Unlike traditional advertising methods that often focus on brand awareness without clear metrics, performance marketing allows for measuring and optimizing marketing efforts to achieve specific results. Here’s how performance marketing can help your business:

• Increased ROI: Since you pay only for actual results (e.g., clicks or sales), you can use your marketing budget more efficiently and get the most return on your investment.
• Targeted customer acquisition: Performance marketing enables precise targeting of ads to audiences who are most likely to make a purchase or take another desired action. This is achieved using tools such as demographic and behavioral targeting.
• Transparency and measurability: Every aspect of your campaigns can be tracked and analyzed, making it easy to measure their effectiveness and make necessary adjustments for better results. You can see which channels, ads, and keywords work best.
• Rapid scalability: Successful campaigns can be quickly scaled up to attract more customers and increase sales. This allows for flexible adaptation to market changes and rapid growth in sales volumes.

Performance marketing utilizes various digital channels, each of which can be optimized to achieve specific goals. Here are the main channels:

• Search Engine Marketing (SEM): Ads in search engines such as Google Ads that appear to users when they search for relevant products or services. This helps attract users who are already in the process of finding a solution.
• Social Media: Advertising on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter, which allows for precise targeting based on demographic and behavioral characteristics. These platforms provide powerful tools for creating personalized and engaging ad campaigns.
• Display Advertising (GDN): Ads on Google partner sites that are shown to users based on their interests and behavior. This allows for reaching a broad audience and increasing brand awareness.
• Remarketing: Ads that target users who have already interacted with your website or app, reminding them of your offer. This is an effective way to bring back users who did not complete a purchase.
• Affiliate Marketing: Partnerships with affiliates who promote your product for a commission on sales. This helps expand reach and attract new customers with minimal costs.
• Email Marketing: Personalized emails aimed at maintaining contact with customers and encouraging repeat purchases. This helps strengthen customer relationships and increase loyalty.

Developing an effective digital strategy includes several key stages:

• Current Situation Analysis: Evaluating current marketing efforts, analyzing competitors, and researching the target audience. We study what works well, what can be improved, and identify key growth opportunities.
• Goal Setting and KPI Definition: Establishing specific and measurable goals such as increasing traffic, leads, or sales, and defining key performance indicators (KPIs) for tracking them. This may include metrics such as conversion rate, cost per click (CPC), customer acquisition cost (CAC), and return on investment (ROI).
• Strategy Development: Determining the channels, tools, and methods to be used to achieve the set goals. This includes choosing platforms, creating a content plan, and defining the budget. We develop a comprehensive plan covering all aspects of digital marketing, including SEO, content marketing, social media, and advertising.
• Campaign Creation and Launch: Developing creatives, setting up targeting, launching, and optimizing ad campaigns. We create ads, banners, videos, and other materials that attract attention and drive user actions.
• Monitoring and Optimization: Continuously tracking results, analyzing data, and making adjustments to improve campaign effectiveness. We use analytical tools to measure results and optimize strategies in real-time.
• Reporting and Analysis: Regularly providing reports on campaign results, analyzing data, and offering recommendations for further actions. We provide detailed reports with data visualization and improvement suggestions so you can see progress and make informed decisions.

The time needed to see noticeable results from performance marketing campaigns depends on various factors such as the chosen channels, budget, and competition. Initial results can typically be seen within a few weeks of launching the campaign. However, achieving sustainable and significant results may take 3 to 6 months. It is important to remember that performance marketing is an ongoing process requiring continuous optimization and adaptation of strategies to achieve maximum effectiveness. Regular testing and data analysis help improve results and adapt campaigns to changing market conditions.

We use various tools and metrics to measure the success of performance marketing campaigns:

• Google Analytics: To track website traffic, conversions, and user behavior. We integrate Google Analytics with other tools for a more comprehensive data analysis.
• Ad Campaign Platforms: Built-in analytics tools such as Google Ads and Facebook Ads Manager provide data on clicks, impressions, cost per click (CPC), cost per thousand impressions (CPM), and other metrics. These tools allow for detailed analysis of each ad's and keyword's effectiveness.
• Key Metrics: We track metrics such as the number of conversions, cost per conversion (CPA), return on ad spend (ROAS), conversion rate (CVR), average order value (AOV), and return on investment (ROI). These metrics help evaluate how well our campaigns perform and how they impact business goals.
• Reports and Dashboards: We create regular reports and dashboards with data visualization that makes it easy to analyze results and make informed decisions. We provide detailed reports with graphs, charts, and analytical insights so you can see progress and identify areas for improvement.

The budget for performance marketing campaigns depends on your goals, competition in your niche, and chosen channels. We offer flexible budget approaches that can be adapted to your needs:

• Initial Budget: For small businesses or startups, a minimum budget (e.g., $1000-3000 per month) can be used to test various strategies and gather data. This allows identifying the most effective channels and methods and gradually increasing the budget as results are achieved.
• Medium Budget: For more mature companies, a budget of $5000 to $15000 per month allows reaching a wider audience and using more complex strategies. This includes using multiple channels, testing various creatives, and optimizing campaigns.
• High Budget: For large companies or aggressive marketing campaigns, a budget of $20000 and more per month allows maximizing reach and conversions. We can conduct large-scale ad campaigns, including different ad formats and multiple tests. We will help you determine the optimal budget and allocate it among different channels and campaigns to achieve the maximum return on investment. We also provide recommendations for budget optimization and fund allocation based on data analysis and current results.

Setting up targeting is a key aspect of successful performance marketing campaigns. We use the following methods for precise targeting:

• Demographic Data: We analyze age, gender, location, language, and other demographic parameters of your target audience. This allows creating audiences that closely match your target market.
• Interests and Behavior: We study users' interests, online behavior, purchases, and content interactions. This allows targeting people who show interest in your products or services and are likely to make a purchase.
• Data-based Audiences: We create custom audiences from your customers, newsletter subscribers, or website visitors. We also use lookalike audiences to attract new users similar to your current customers. This helps expand reach and attract a new audience likely to be interested in your offer.
• Remarketing: We target users who have already interacted with your website or app to remind them of your offer and increase conversion chances. We use dynamic remarketing to show personalized ads based on users' past actions such as viewed products or items added to the cart.

We use modern tools and technologies to manage and optimize performance marketing campaigns:

• Google Ads and Facebook Ads Manager: Main platforms for creating, managing, and optimizing ad campaigns in search engines and social networks. These tools provide powerful targeting, analytics, and automation capabilities.
• Google Analytics: To track website traffic, conversions, and user behavior. We integrate Google Analytics with other tools for a comprehensive data analysis and understanding of user behavior at all stages of their journey.
• Tag Manager: For managing and tracking various tags and pixels on your website without changing the code. This simplifies setting up and managing conversion tracking and other events.
• CRM Systems: Integration with customer relationship management (CRM) systems to track and analyze customer and sales data. This helps link marketing campaign data with sales and customer data for deeper analysis and optimization.
• A/B Testing: Tools for conducting A/B tests to determine the best creatives, landing pages, and campaign settings. We use platforms like Optimizely and VWO for testing different options and choosing the most effective solutions.
• Automation and AI: We use automation and artificial intelligence technologies to optimize bids, targeting, and creatives in real-time. This includes using tools like Google Smart Bidding and Facebook Automated Rules to automatically optimize campaigns for better results.
