Analyze Marketing Mix to Optimize Budget Allocation

Every dollar assigned to one channel is unavailable to another. Cost per lead shows acquisition efficiency, but cost per opportunity and closed-won conversion reveal whether that volume has business value. Comparing actual performance with the plan exposes investments that need attention before the next annual cycle. A scenario model turns the evidence into a testable budget choice instead of an opinion.

Mastering Evidence-Based Marketing Budget Allocation
