Whether it\u2019s casual communications or business transactions, we\u2019re all connected most of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses put a lot into their marketing efforts, and unsurprisingly, these efforts are largely based on online options. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is easy to see why this is the case. Online efforts are capable of reaching a large audience. They\u2019re also very flexible in their application. But, most importantly, they can be measured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/11-crucial-marketing-kpis-to-track-in-2019\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing efforts are expected to generate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a certain amount of return, so measuring their usefulness is a critical part of the process. But what about offline marketing efforts? It turns out they\u2019re not exactly extinct, despite being challenged substantially by their connected counterparts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know they work, but how can they be measured? It\u2019s not like companies can see how many drivers or pedestrians laid eyes on a billboard the same way they can track how many users clicked on a website ad. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this doesn\u2019t mean it is impossible \u2013 here are some ways traditional offline marketing efforts can be tracked and monitored. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tracking Links Even for Offline Marketing Efforts<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies want users to visit their websites \u2013 but they have to use increasingly inventive ways to get them there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With so many other companies vying for the attention of consumers via web marketing campaigns, it is essential to know how to promote effectively. But even if a customer does land on a website, how can a company tell from where they came?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did they see the link on a business card? A commercial? A billboard? How can businesses track the source of traffic from these offline advertising options? The secret lies in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thrivehive.com\/what-is-a-tracking-link-or-url\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">using tracking links.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking links are standard links with a simple code added to the end. They take users to the same site as they would without the code, but the added bit of information is useful to the marketers. It can tell them from where the user was directed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say the ABC company wants users to visit their service page. They may create two links \u2013 one advertised on a billboard (ABCCompany.com\/services\/bb) and one advertised via a TV commercial (ABCCompany.com\/services\/tv). While these links will both lead to the same place, they can provide data to companies about how their offline marketing efforts are working.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marketing-1.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10744\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marketing-1.png?resize=640%2C325&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marketing-1.png?zoom=2&amp;resize=710%2C360&amp;ssl=1 1420w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marketing-1.png?zoom=3&amp;resize=710%2C360&amp;ssl=1 2130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Of course, custom pages can also be created to send users to different locations. This could be used to show them a specific line of products businesses may be trying to get more eyes on, rather than sending them to the full product catalog to sort through.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tracking Email Contacts Via Custom Subjects<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking incoming email communications back to a specific offline marketing campaign can be incredibly difficult. If your customer service team received an email that just said, \u201cI\u2019m interested in your service,\u201d how would you know how they found you? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can seem like a puzzling and frustrating problem for marketers. The frustration comes in because email is such a favorite tool for reaching out and opening lines of communications. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can companies tell from where their email contacts are coming? The secret lies in using custom subject lines. Or, more specifically, it lies in getting customers to enter a specific subject line for the email before they send it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be promoted via the call-to-action on other marketing tools like blogs, brochures, and text messages. When users reach out with the proposed subject line, it can be a direct indicator of from where the traffic came.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, an electrician company might say, \u201cemail us today with \u2018My house is dark!\u2019 in the subject line.\u201d You can combine this with a promo code to help make sure they use the subject line when contacting the business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, your billboard copy could say, \u201cCrossed wires? Are you constantly shorting out lights? Had circuit breaker blown? Email us today with \u201cMy house is dark!\u201d to receive 20% off your first service call!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you create an ongoing campaign in a CRM software, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightly.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insightly,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that\u2019s specific to each email promo code so you can track which offline marketing channels are driving the most business. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Using Promo Codes to Help Customers Save<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What better way to track offline marketing than doing so by promoting a sale? It helps the customers save, so everyone wins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many different businesses use the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/offline-marketing-tracking\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">discount code strategy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. How many times have you seen the old \u201ctext promo code SAVINGS123\u201d to a given address?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marketing-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10743\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marketing-2.jpg?resize=640%2C325&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marketing-2.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=710%2C360&amp;ssl=1 1420w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marketing-2.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=710%2C360&amp;ssl=1 2130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tools like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voucherify.io\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voucherify.io<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> integrate with eCommerce and landing page platforms to drive new customer acquisition using promo codes. Campaigns can be set up across different offline marketing channels to test from where the best acquisition rate is coming. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only does this incentivize a person to reach out so they can save money, but it allows a company to track how effective an offline marketing campaign is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can place the discount codes on billboards, transit ads, TV commercials, and in many other locations. In doing so, companies can gauge where their most effective advertising spots are. Since customers (especially those already close to a sale) will likely rarely turn down the chance to get a discount, they\u2019re a perfect tracking tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Monitoring Call Volumes Based on Numbers and Closing Rates<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While phone conversations are technically under the networking umbrella, they still fall into the sphere of offline marketing so long as they\u2019re traditional phone calls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many businesses invest a lot of time and money into cold calling or following up on leads by reaching out to customers telephonically. There are traditionally a couple of ways to track phone marketing success \u2013 one is by number, and the other is by close rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going by number is relatively easy. This simply involves tracking the number of customers contacted at unique numbers. It shows how far a company is reaching out, and how many different potentials leads they\u2019re communicating within any given period. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking numbers can show how many leads are approached, but how about knowing how many of those leads have actually converted into customers? This is where tracking the close rate comes in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about more traditional businesses like plumbing or towing company. They regularly advertise in their local areas through direct mail, TV, billboard, and radio to reach potential customers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of gauging the success of a campaign by whether you received more phone call in any given month, these businesses can leverage technology to more granularly understand what\u2019s working and to what extent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, service business specific software company <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.servicetitan.com\/plumbing-software\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ServiceTitan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ties each unique phone number to an online and offline marketing campaign. These unique numbers are then used to track revenue generated from each campaign to increase spending for what\u2019s working and kill what\u2019s not. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If online marketing efforts are so effective, why does it matter how companies track their offline efforts?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key lies in realizing that just because online marketing is growing in popularity doesn\u2019t mean offline marketing is obsolete. Utilizing both together is a great way to get the most out of marketing efforts, which is why tracking is so important. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketers don\u2019t just create and deploy ads \u2013 their job is to understand how effective they are, and the ways they could be more effective. Understanding these handy tracking techniques can help any marketer maximize their offline potential. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s no denying we live in an online generation.
