What is Closed-Loop Reporting?Let’s think of it in terms of how marketers work:Marketers create a {click} Campaign, which they sent to {click} Contacts in their marketing database. The point of any Campaign {click} is to generate Responses from your Contacts. Marketing passes those Responses to Sales, who then {click} turns Responses into Opportunities and ultimately {click} into Revenue. What Closed-Loop Reporting does for marketers {click} is connect the costs of running marketing campaigns with the revenue those campaigns bring inBy “closing the loop” between revenue and marketing campaigns, CLR can shed light on which campaigns are successfully steering revenue—and which need to be replaced with something more effective
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?A1: Because Microsoft spent $100M on an advertising campaign asking the chicken “where do you want to go today?”A2: Karl Marx disagrees and says it was a historcial inevitability: the chicken was always going to cross the road.Uplift (with enough chickens and a randomized control group!) can help us decide which chickens were already decided and which were pushed by our marketing efforts.
