WHAT IS ROI?
ROI is defined as the total profit or savings less the original investment. It also acts as a measurement of the effectiveness of promotional products in achieving a desired result.
ROI = Net Profit or Savings
Total Investment
ROI creates the connection between sales and marketing for organizations that are serious about measuring the effectiveness of their internal and external marketing spend.
The Importance of ROI
Measuring ROI is important because it proves that promotional products for internal and external programs work. ROI measurements demonstrate that promotional products save money and increase profits. ROI helps justify the use of promotional products. ROI is a financial comparison that relates the return (the net present value of incremental profits less the initial investment) to the original marketing investment. The aim of measuring ROI is ultimately to achieve maximum profit potential.
Justifying Spend Through ROI
From a marketing standpoint, promotional products buyers need to measure ROI because they are being forced to justify the spend to senior management. ROI previously was not applied to promotional products because so many people think of them as giveaways and not necessarily a "means to an end." As a result, other marketing mediums were thought of to produce better results. There is an increasing pressure to demonstrate that marketing dollars invested in promotional products create positive return on investment.
The Role of Promotional Products
Use of promotional products increases market share, strengthens brand image, and build both employee and customer loyalty.
