The <strong>ROI (Return On Investment)<\/strong> is the <strong>value generated by your marketing actions<\/strong>, or what comes to the same thing, the money that your actions have generated after investing in them, for example, investing in paid ads or <span><a href=\"\/blog-small-businesses\/email-marketing-small-businesses-target-roi\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">email marketing<\/a><\/span><\/span>. If you want to get <strong>real data<\/strong> from your marketing strategy, it is essential to analyze the <strong>impact of each of your actions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>{{{cta(&#8216;bb2971b9-bf36-4c36-8edc-75223dba5208&#8217;)}}<\/p>\n<p>Through ROI you can know which marketing actions have been more successful and which have not, and therefore which actions have made you <strong>make or lose money<\/strong>. This is why calculating ROI is such an important method for your SME, because you can know which <strong>actions<\/strong> are giving <strong>best results to your company<\/strong> and thus think about <strong>optimizing them to achieve greater success<\/strong>. Similarly, you can set <strong>goals based on your own results<\/strong> and progressively check whether it is profitable to invest in some channels or others.<\/p>\n<p>In short, calculating ROI is a method that will help you find the most appropriate approach to achieve greater success with your marketing strategy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"calculation\">The calculation of ROI<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>How about if we review the calculation of ROI? You already know that it is a simple mathematical formula, but remember that you must have both the <strong>amount of the investment made<\/strong> and the <strong>amount of the revenue generated<\/strong> by your marketing strategy before calculating the ROI. The calculation is as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ROI = [(revenue &#8211; investment) \/ investment] * 100<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take an example: let&#8217;s say you invested \u20ac200 for your latest marketing campaign and it generated \u20ac600 in revenue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">ROI = [(600 &#8211; 200) \/ 200] * 100<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">ROI = 200%<\/p>\n<p>The ROI is <strong>positive<\/strong>, which means that your actions have had an effect and also covered your initial investment. However, what happens if the income obtained is less than the investment? For example, let&#8217;s say this time you invest \u00a3500 in your shares, but you only get \u00a3400 of income.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">ROI = [(400 &#8211; 500) \/ 500] * 100<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">ROI = -20%<\/p>\n<p>The ROI is <strong>negative<\/strong>, therefore, the income does not cover your entire initial investment and represents a loss of money.<\/p>\n<p>Simple, isn&#8217;t it? However, remember that when you invest money in a marketing strategy, you don&#8217;t just bring in an amount of money. You must take into account, for example, the money you pay your employees for the time they work on one of your marketing actions, the payment for the time you and your team use your office, the payment for the tools to do the job, among other possible expenses. The more specific the figure of your investment is, the more realistic the ROI calculation will be after obtaining your income.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/2074697\/accounting-blur-business-1028726.jpg\" width=\"6000\" style=\"width: 6000px;\" alt=\"calculate-roi-tools-google\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"google\">Calculating marketing ROI with Google tools<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Google has become a great ally for SMEs, as its tools allow companies to know in detail the real data of their actions and their earnings.
