Performance-marketing is a type of marketing that is aimed at achieving clear results.

When comparing this type of marketing with classic, the difference is quite noticeable.

What is it and how does it work? Now let’s analyze this concept and how to correctly form a strategy for it.

Performance-marketing includes actions, the result of which can be clearly recorded and compared with previous ones. After analyzing them, you can adjust your strategy and effectively promote your product.

For performance marketing, there are specific metrics that make it easy to track performance: ROMI, LTV, CPA, and others.

The main task of such marketing is to work with sales without spending too much on metrics that are difficult to measure.

For example, let’s take work on the image of a company or brand – business profitability and the number of customers increase, but when to expect it is difficult to say. For performance, the main goal is revenue growth.

Features that distinguish performance-marketing from ordinary image marketing:

Topicality. Any investment in advertising or promotion will be visible immediately. This makes it easier and simpler to adjust and optimize the marketing strategy.
Measurability. Tracking key KPIs that provide insight into whether a particular tool is working effectively. This makes managing the marketing budget easier and more efficient.
Orientation to the result. Everything still used in performance marketing is aimed at finding, attracting and stimulating customers to make a purchase.
