Set KPI’s and goals for your online branding campaigns
With online branding, there is no set-it-and-forget-it way of marketing. In fact, there’s no such thing in any type of marketing. So, before starting your online branding campaign, setup some KPI’s and goals and then use them to form your campaign strategies and tactics. That way, you’ll not only have a better chance of achieving them, you’ll also know where you ended up short and what kind of adjustments you need to make, so it doesn’t happen that way again.
