Correct and quantifiable attribution for the business revenue that marketing contributes can be incredibly hard to track.<\/p><h3>Case 1: Building &amp; Enhancing Brand Awareness<\/h3><p>Companies may burn cash for the sake of rapid consumer awareness or market share growth. This is the classic measuring short term hardship against long term gains, and is very common among start-ups.<\/p><p>For instance, a venture-backed app has a US$3 million annual marketing budget and doesn\u2019t expect to be profitable for a couple years, but has begun to generate some revenue (US$250,000) through in-app purchases. The calculation here would be US$3,000,000 &#8211; US$250,000, yielding a <strong>net negative marketing ROI<\/strong> of -US$2,750,000, or -91%.<\/p><h3>Case 2: Lead Generation through Ads<\/h3><p>In the world of e-commerce, ads generally follow a standard format and call-to-action to visit the website. You can track the leads generated through UTM links or promo-codes.<\/p><p class=\"jsx-258114248 medium blog-paragraph\">Say a T-shirt company pays a podcast US$500\/month for two ad reads. They are able to track their traffic and see that the ads have directed 62 leads to the site, and <strong>of those 62 leads, 7 made a purchase of US$80, yielding a revenue of US$560<\/strong>. The calculation would be (7 x US$80) &#8211; US$500 = US$60.<\/p><p class=\"jsx-258114248 medium blog-paragraph\">Plugging these numbers into the marketing ROI formula cited above, we get (560-500)\/500 for a marketing ROI of 12%.<\/p><p>Learn More:<\/p><p class=\"elementor-image-box-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sourcing.hktdc.com\/newsbites\/tips\/financial-management\/roas\/\"
