Metrics and Analytics: 4 questions every marketer should ask their data analysts | MarketingExperiments | #TheMarketingAutomationAlert

Metrics and Analytics: 4 questions every marketer should ask their data analysts | MarketingExperiments | #TheMarketingAutomationAlert | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Marketers understand the value of using metrics to gain customer insights, but often have a limited background in data analysis. This can have a profound impact on the accuracy of information used to make important decisions.


Digest...


There’s no need to turn a marketer into a data analyst or vice versa, but instead, let’s cover some very important ground first before any testing begins.

 

Question #1. How are we using quality assurance to mitigate risk?  It stands to reason you want to address data accuracy and appropriate metric interpretation before you begin testing.

And quality assurance (QA) is a key step in doing that.

 

Question #2. How will results vary? Would you want to make a multimillion-dollar decision knowing there is a good chance you could be off by a fairly large margin?

Probably not, and this is why understanding how variance between your metrics platform and the true value is important.

 

Question #3. Do we know how the metrics we use are calculated on our platform?   Misinterpretation of metrics is epidemic in online testing – and it’s often preventable.

I say this because the accuracy of interpreting information is generally driven by an understanding of it.

 

Question #4. How can we avoid placing too much faith in one calculated metric?   

I often talk to people who use average time on page as a measure of engagement and they put far too much faith in it. The problem with this is from a theoretical standpoint, any average is highly susceptible to outside forces because an extreme outlier will skew the average value.

Marteq's insight:

Big Data is a waste of time if you don't have the resources to exploit the data. Whether it's marketing scientists, stat pros, ops, etc., you need the resources in place to exploit the hidden value found in the data. Take a look at the questions above: are there folks on staff right now who understand those questions and have the answers?

People are asking the right question when they ask 'why?'  Being 'on' a platform without knowing why doesn't make any sense, but social media really shouldn't be ignored for any business.

5 ways to make stats in content marketing more credible - Chief Marketing Technologist

5 ways to make stats in content marketing more credible - Chief Marketing Technologist | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
As marketers, we want to be better consumers of data. Presented with data and its analysis, we want to be able to judge its accuracy and relevance to our decision making.


Key summary...


There are five things you can — and should — do when presenting survey statistics:

  1. Note the sample size — how many people participated.
  2. Break down the basic firmographics of the participants.
  3. Describe how the participants were selected.
  4. Include the original question and answer choices.
  5. Define nomenclature that may be highly subject to interpretation.
Marteq's insight:

So when we read this, it was a reminder of all those damn papers from business school. It's true though: credibility is a function of the sample's description. Even if you don't fold this info into your report or presentation, be prepared to answer the questions: it shoots down skepticism and raises the value of the results.

Global Paid Search CTRs Up 62% in Q1 - MarketingCharts

Global Paid Search CTRs Up 62% in Q1 - MarketingCharts | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

The latest report on paid search trends has been released, this one from Kenshoo. As with previous reports from RKG, The Search Agency, and IgnitionOne, the Kenshoo study notes that mobile devices are playing a strong role in the search advertising market. Separately, though, the report illustrates that on a global basis, paid search click volume (+21%) and click-through rates (+62%) each saw strong growth, with spending up 15%. 

Marteq's insight:

Spending up a quarter of the CTR growth rate while CPC is down (as are impressions). We're all getting much better at this whole Paid Search thingy.

Get an in-depth understanding of the math behind statistical significance in A/B testing.


Conclusion...


You may be asking yourself why this is important if you can just use a free tool to run the calculation. Understanding how statistical significance is calculated can help you determine how to best test results from your own experiments. Many tools use a 95% confidence rate, but for your experiments, it might make sense to use a lower confidence rate if you don’t need the test to be as stringent. Understanding the underlying calculations also helps you explain why your results might be significant to people who aren't already familiar with statistics.

Marteq's insight:

If Stat 101 is too far back in the rear view mirror, here's the perfect article to bring you back. Obviously, statistical significance is critical when it comes to optimization testing.

25% of Fortune 500 B2B Companies Have Adopted Marketing Automation - ClickZ

25% of Fortune 500 B2B Companies Have Adopted Marketing Automation - ClickZ | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
What can we learn as marketers from this research?


Summary...

First off, it is good to see companies with large budgets adopting leading edge technologies at much higher rates than their peers. This still gives us some good reason to look to the largest players in the B2B space as leaders in adoption of tools. Despite their higher than average adoption rates, their large size seems to be affecting their ability to be nimble in adopting new techniques that go hand-in-hand with these tools.

Marteq's insight:

We think this is low, but assume it is correct: what is the MA penetration %  next year? We expect further inroads. Use the chart above as a means to benchmark!
