Read more on other advantages in the article.

1. Find out the cost recovery of your investments in every advertising channel

Businesses can’t evaluate the success of the advertisement without end-to-end analytics. Clicks, calls, and online-requests only indicate the interest in your product. Moreover, it doesn’t mean that such conversions will lead to sales and the cost of advertising will pay off.

Usually, key data on promotion effectiveness are displayed in different services:

• transfers and online-conversions — in web analytics systems;
• calls — in call tracking;
• deals and sales — in CRM.

To understand the real effectiveness of the advertisement, all these services have to be united. This is the only way to see the chain: investments in advertisements — certain ad source — website visit — call — revenue — ROI. That’s what we’ve done in Ringostat end-to-end analytics.

Having data on advertisements cost recovery you can:

• adjust rates considering ROI by each channel;
• wisely allocate budget between different ad campaigns;
• opt-out advertisement that doesn’t work;
• create an audience for retargeting or remarketing;
• use look-alike audience to show advertisements to users that look like your potential customers;

You can also manually upload costs on promotion almost from any systems. For example, this will help to evaluate the cost recovery of investments in SEO, banner advertisements, etc. Read in the article how to import costs in the end-to-end analytics.

2. Opportunity to customize end-to-end analytics to your business

It differs Ringostat from other decisions with same-titled functionality. We tried to make almost all the decisions customized. Forget about default settings that don’t consider the peculiarities of your company.

Event-Driven attribution model

Attribution is the rule that transfers the conversion value to different points of contact with the brand. Based on the attribution the analytics system defines the value that will be divided between specific channels.

There are 6 attribution models available in Google Analytics. However, they have a disadvantage. Such models don’t consider something that happened during one conversion. Using Ringostat you can customize a model that will distribute revenue brought from the deal among your sales funnel stages. This will help to receive not the approximate data but the closest to your business realia. All funnel stages presented in CRM are automatically transferred to Ringostat end-to-end analytics.

You only need to set up them as it is written in “Examples of attribution models in Ringostat end-to-end analytics“.

Weight assignment for different goals

Not each conversion has the same value. For example, the second website visit has a different value from a request for payment details. Ringostat helps to set weight for each conversion, in other words, its proportional contribution in sales. Assign a weight to each funnel stage, depending on its value for the company’s marketing. Measure it by any scale convenient for you. Thus, you will understand which channels lead to important conversions.

If you want you can also customize the same attribution models as in Google Analytics. To do so, you only need to set weights in the needed order.

Time decay

It is the period when the value of the interaction is slowly getting declined. Concerning the advertisement, the closer to the conversion the more valuable the channel that brought it. There is the “Time decay model” in Google Analytics that has a similar working principle. However, in Ringostat you can set the time decay based on your sales cycle. This will help to not overestimate old conversions that barely influenced the deal.

3. Convenient work in one window
