"If you can't measure it, you can't manage it"

- Robert Kaplan,
World renowned author of
"The Balanced Scorecard: Translating Strategy into Action"

To reproduce or improve on past marketing successes you need to be able to measure and analyse the performance of each initiative. If you don't have access to sufficient, quality information - how will you be able to repeat marketing successes or avoid failures?

Among the measurement resources available are a variety of computer programs that are currently being offered to the marketing function. Some are better suited to analysis and planning while others are geared towards monitoring marketing initiatives. Organisations are sometimes coerced into buying costly programs with limited functionality, simply because it's the latest technology.

Why spend money on marketing software unnecessarily when
one of the longest standing, most flexible, user friendly programs is right at your fingertips? If you haven't fully explored the benefits of using MS Excel for marketing activities, now's your chance.

A great misconception surrounding the MS Excel program is that it is only useful for finance or accounting.

While Excel does have powerful financial applications, its equally potent functionality as a marketing tool has been highly under-rated. Discovering Excel's many uses within marketing will not only make your job easier, but also save you hours of unnecessary work and frustration.
