Blink Twice. Data-Driven Insights.

Before you dive too heavily into the budget. Have you had an opportunity to look at your marketing data? What is your data telling you? When last did you complete a 360 audit of your marketing efforts? Very often the data can support your budget decisions and help you plan for the year ahead. New trends show a heavy focus on TikTok and video content.


Consider the following 4 data sources, that will provide you with the website, social, communication, and reputation insights:

1) Google Analytics (Web Traffic, Page Views, Demographic Profile)

2) Meta Business Suite (Insights for both Facebook and Instagram)

3) Email Performance (Open and Click Through Rate, Database growth)

4) Google My Business & Google Reviews


Once you've reviewed the data and derived your key insights, you are now better equipped to address your budget decisions, and ready to put your Marketing Plan for 2023 in motion.
