The 3 Best KPIs That Measure Business Growth - Plus, the Top 17 Market Research & Marketing Analytics Agencies, According to DesignRush

NEW YORK, March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Just 44 percent of chief marketing officers can accurately measure their campaigns' return on investments.

However, data is the key to crafting highly targeted marketing campaigns that attract valuable consumers and inspire a revenue-boosting action.

DesignRush.com, a B2B marketplace connecting brands with agencies, discovered the top marketing key performance indicators to track. Each piece of data is proven to help build successful marketing strategies and measure brand success.

The top 3 key performance indicators to track are:

1. Landing Page Conversion Rate

Many brands fall short by simply focusing on getting consumers to visit a landing page. However, it is often the conversion - not the view - that will increase revenue and provide a return on investment.

Therefore, brands should make sure they track landing page conversion rates. By doing so, they will be able to determine their effectiveness of landing page elements such as:

    --  Call to action
    --  Copywriting
    --  Imagery
    --  Campaign objective
    --  And more!

2. Cost Per Lead

The best marketing analytics agencies continually track marketing campaigns' cost per lead. Cost per leads can indicate how effectively multiple items within a campaign are, including:

    --  Imagery
    --  Messaging
    --  Audience targeting
    --  Platform
    --  And more!

They type of "lead" that a marketing team tracks can vary, depending on the brand's goal. They include:

    --  Cost per lead
    --  Cost per click
    --  Cost per view
    --  Cost per impression
    --  Cost per conversion
    --  And more!

3. Consumer Information

Although consumer information isn't technically a key performance indicator, it is an important piece of data to collect. In fact, more than three-fourths of B2B businesses don't have adequate industry or revenue information for the leads that they collect.

However, when brands gather consumer information, they will be able to conduct tasks such as:

    --  Campaign personalization
    --  Accurate demographic targeting
    --  Prioritization of marketing channels
    --  And more!

"Research shows that many brands struggle immensely with gathering accurate data and putting it to proper use," says DesignRush Founder and Executive Director Gabriel Shaoolian. "By paying attention to specific key performance indicators, businesses can begin to understand their consumers as well as their own strengths and weaknesses as a brand."

10. Nimbly

Nimbly is on a mission to make empathy more accessible (and fun). Consumer research is broken. Traditional qual agencies are slow and costly, and deliver outputs that lack emotional oomph. DIY tools and quick reaction platforms, while fast and cheap, don't go deep enough. Meanwhile, brands increasingly lean on surveys and data analytics. They learn what people do--not why they do it. But Nimbly believes that understanding people as people shouldn't be this hard.

15. Truly Inc.

Truly Inc. does not believe in brainstorming and clients will never find them carelessly tossing out ideas for how to spend money. Everything starts with research and insights. Why? Because throwing ideas at the wall - even when it's a few dollars here and there - adds up quickly. And usually, that money goes to ad platforms. If brands aren't making sure that they are on the right platform, talking to the right audience with the right message, they may as well just write Facebook a check and walk away. In order to make dollars work harder, Truly Inc. works to figure out the answer to who, what, when, where and how.
