What is Performance Marketing or Results Marketing? Definition and advantages

What is Performance Marketing?

Performance Marketing or Results Marketing is a system in which the advertiser pays for the results obtained in the digital medium.

The marketing departments of companies trust performance optimization agencies more and more because they know that with their investment, they will be able to achieve their objectives. Other times, the factor remains in the air, with different types of more traditional marketing agencies. They create a strategy for the customer but do not ensure results.

These objectives are usually related to obtaining a response from the impacted audience: such as a subscription, alike, a forwarding, a registration, or the generation of a sale, among others.

In performance marketing, you no longer pay per click or impression but rather per result. The factor determining whether a campaign has gone well is actual data collected through a tracking system that stores click, subscriptions, sales, or conversions in real-time.

Characteristics of Performance Marketing

Many advertisers still doubt online performance marketing because it is a relatively new term that encompasses all marketing organizations.

Some people confuse performance marketing with associate marketing.

When this second concept, in reality, is a tool and technique available to marketers to develop their work in performance marketing. Or even some people relate it to artistic performances without having anything to do with it.

These movements are launched in a digital environment (and increasingly in mobile formats) to obtain measurable results, unlike branding campaigns or campaigns seeking notoriety. Universal and conversion cookies or pixels may be used to track user actions.

Advantages of Performance Marketing

Easy to Measure the ROI of actions.

The typical CPM and CPC models offer a cost linked to results, but their real relationship with sales is much more diffuse. In the case of CPM, we only know the number of times a particular ad has been shown, although we cannot even guarantee that a natural person has seen it. And in the case of CPC, we can know who has landed on our site after clicking, but this KPI does not tell us what happens next: has the consumer left the page without reading it, or has he continued through the funnel advertising? Instead, by tracking with cookies or pixels, you can know exactly what each user is doing on a landing page or the maker’s website.

Conversion-Based Goal Line.

These goals can be sales or centrals. This will allow us to recognize the real benefit of the entire online marketing strategy. For example, 1,000 conversions to purchase with an average value of €50 or 5,000 downloads via the form with a 20% chance of a sale. This way, we can faithfully assess the return on investment.

Major Optimization.

Refining measurement helps us to be able to optimize campaigns constantly. If we know which actions are giving better results, we can promote these, direct the investment to them, and discard the activities that do not convert. In addition, since technology can measure results in real time, it can also help us establish continuous controls that refine campaigns or stop them. The result is a constant improvement in brand advertising.

Opportunity Costs Eliminate.

This means the advertiser no longer has to invest a budget in campaigns without knowing the results. With performance marketing, the risk is minimal, estimating how much each campaign will cost.
