What is ROI?
ROI, Return on Investment, is a measure that evaluates the return of an investment compared to its initial cost. It is a key indicator for companies seeking to assess the profitability of their investments across various domains.
ROI is expressed as a percentage and calculated by subtracting the investment cost from the realized profits, then dividing this result by the initial investment cost and multiplying by 100.
For example, if a company spent $10,000 on an advertising campaign and made a profit of $20,000, the ROI would be 100%.
Let's talk about ROMI now!
ROMI, Return on Marketing Investment, is similar to ROI but specifically focuses on the results of marketing efforts.
ROMI takes into account costs associated with a marketing campaign, such as advertising expenses, content creation fees, and distribution costs. In numerical terms, ROMI subtracts the marketing costs from the profits generated by the campaign, then divides this result by the marketing costs and multiplies by 100%.
This calculation allows marketing strategists to measure the effectiveness of their actions by comparing the costs incurred with the results achieved.
Now, let's discuss ROAS.
ROAS, Return on Advertising Spend, evaluates the performance of an advertising campaign, focusing solely on advertising expenses and the revenues generated by those expenses.
ROAS is calculated by dividing the revenues generated by an advertising campaign by the advertising expenses. For example, if a campaign generated $50,000 in revenue and the advertising expenses were $10,000, the ROAS would be 5 or 500% as a percentage.
In summary, the higher the ROAS, the more profitable the advertising campaign is considered.
It's worth noting that there are Google Ads campaigns that use ROAS as a bidding strategy. By defining conversions and values correctly, it is possible to set a target ROAS for Google.
Conclusion
As confirmed, these three measures are essential for quantifying results and making informed decisions. However, they primarily consider the financial aspect and do not take into account other factors such as brand awareness, customer engagement, or customer satisfaction with a product or service.
Therefore, it is important to use other performance indicators to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the effectiveness of your campaigns. Furthermore, within Business Intelligence (BI), multiple metrics can be integrated to achieve outcomes that closely mirror reality.
