Guaranteed ROI, you’re kidding me?


Why don’t we know exactly how many email campaigns it will take to generate a 25% increase in leads? It’s because we have to pilot our strategy – in the case of email, we have to experiment with A/B testing subject lines, messaging and calls to action (CTAs) to see what resonates with an audience.  Whilst we’re often guided by previous experience, expertise and best practices, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

We can tell you that for a similar client, in a similar industry, we saw the most success using a question-based, personalised subject line and generated a 30% open rate with a 40% click rate, but that certainly isn’t going to guarantee you’ll see the same results.  We’d both feel pretty disappointed at the end of the year if we made promises to you based on past results only to discover that your buyer personas are more sceptical, less willing to work with a new vendor and generally don’t respond well to emails as a marketing tactic?

Agencies like ours can’t (and shouldn’t) promise results, but here’s what we can promise:

1. A collaborative strategic partnership that is focused on achieving defined goals

In many cases, it is our strategic capabilities that will make or break your digital marketing.

2. Deep understanding of your company, goals, products and services, culture, buyer personas, industry and competition

This is where we start with every new client and over the years we’ve created and fine-tuned a unique workshop we call Gravity. Gravity connects our senior team with your stakeholders to uncover insight that would otherwise have been missed. Steve Bromberg from Express Bi-folding Doors said:

“I and everyone on my staff found Gravity to be both enjoyable and beneficial, providing an in-depth set of exercises we had never experienced during previous website builds. Various department heads were involved, which gave Tall a real 360 degree view of our business.”

3. Constant testing and measuring

This enables agility so resources are always allocated to the right places, the places that create the biggest impact. We’re extremely proud of some of our latest results, after all it’s results that keep board members happy.

5. Transparency
