The Metrics That Justify Your Marketing Expenditures
Business development consultant Marlene Kurban poses an interesting question for healthcare marketers: “If your CEO walked up to you in the hallway at your hospital next week and asked you what return on investment your hospital is getting for your marketing efforts, could you accurately answer the question?”
Alicia Shoemaker, senior account manager at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, is proud to be able to answer in the affirmative. “This year the marketing team achieved an 85 percent return on investment, with the goal of 100 percent ROI in 2018,” she says.
