Theory can only take you so far!
Every one of us is quite familiar with this line from the Oscar-winning biopic film Oppenheimer. And we can’t agree more on this!
The theoretical data by Oppenheimer would have gone to waste if they hadn’t been presented practically as an experiment.
Aye, chill, we are not going to create an atomic bomb or anything like that!
We are marketers who can transform your businesses from THEORETICAL success to VISIBLE, EXPERIMENTAL success. As the old saying goes, ‘Data is Gold.’ We believe that with proper data-driven decisions, you can moonwalk your way as the leading business.
So, when we have data, enthusiasm, and insights into our strategies. What’s missing? Los Alamos and Oppenheimer costume, just kidding. We often miss out on some custom, detailed, and interactive dashboards that will present our experimental success.
Talking about custom dashboards and not thinking about ReportGarden, well, that can't happen.
What is the Problem?
- Challenges Faced by Marketers in Correlating Data to Marketing Goals and KPIs
Have you heard about large magnets used to separate iron junk from piles at a junkyard? Similarly, marketers need to find the right KPIs and metrics for their marketing goals. Many times, marketers face several challenges in measuring the ideal metrics.
One of the most difficult obstacles that marketers address is demonstrating their marketing return on investment (ROI) and assessing branding's impact on the sales funnel. The challenge lies in efficiently allocating resources so that marketing has the means to help grow the company. Maintaining the right balance between immediate profits and long-term brand development is a task that calls for a strategic viewpoint.
- Limitations of Existing Dashboard Solutions in Meeting Diverse Industry Needs
A majority of dashboards do not display data in real-time, and if they do, the sheer number of metrics clogging the screens makes it very simple for users to overlook the most important details. An aspect that decision-makers can overlook is that the data displayed on typical dashboards depicts what has already occurred and may not be a trustworthy predictor of what will occur in the future. Selecting the right metrics to include in data analysis is more art than science when it comes to getting true, actionable marketing insights.
In order to use ReportGarden as a solution for marketers to run their operations on a day-to-day basis, the following limitations exist
- Track data against pre-set KPIs for time duration and show whether you are on track or not
- Have a holistic view of all clients/campaigns along with their Goals and KPIs
- Rolling Averages, extrapolation of data (eg, pacing)
- Formulae that are dependent on external variables like period, remaining days of a month, etc
- Ability to include/exclude certain days of a week for calculations (eg, exclude weekends)
- Conditional formulae
- Add metadata fields to campaign, ad, etc and analyze by grouping data against metadata
- Blend data across disparate data sources - for eg, GA and GA4. This is because there is no direct correlation that is deterministic for GA and GA4 metrics that can be uniformly rolled out to clients
What can be the Solution?
1. Data Pipelines
A data pipeline is intended to help accelerate the process by collecting all of the marketing data into just one database, which is often organized consistently or systematically. The team may then gain access to the data whenever they want, evaluate it, and generate reports as necessary. Here are some ways in which data pipelines are the solution to your marketing problems.
- Data pipelines streamline the process of combining data from several sources, minimizing the chance of errors and saving valuable time.
- Data pipelines provide the freedom to alter data handling and reporting in order to meet the specific needs of every client and achieve strategic objectives.
- Data pipelines use advanced procedures for data validation, cleaning, and replication, guaranteeing data integrity and delivery reliability.
- Data pipelines' hierarchical structure makes scalable distribution easier, allowing them to adjust to changing data volumes and specific business requirements.
2. DataGarden Dashboards
