True ROI Return Metrics, including Time Investments
WebAndNet measures true metrics, including time investments and tradeoffs, as best as possible. A typical successful WebAndNet client will receive true financial returns anywhere from 300% to 1,000%, inclusive of time invested. Please ask us to show you this.

Ever heard how web returns metrics (and other advertising metrics) are frequently presented? For example, a retailer hires a web developer to build a web coupon service that replaces print coupons. The web coupon service cost $10,000, and 10,000 of the retailer's customers used it in the first year. The retailer had a traditional metric that measured each customer visit acquisition at $5, for a total of $50,000. The coupon's web builder then claims it achieved a 500% return in the first year. Really?
  • First consider the tradeoff.  As the overwhelming numbers of web coupon users were prior print coupon users, the true returns here is predominantly the reduced coupon print costs.
  • Second, the web coupon build cost should include the retailer's time invested during the project.
  • Third, print coupons are troublesome to store and retrieve, thus frequently aren't redeemed, but still provide advertising. Web coupons are extremely easy to retrieve; whereby, a customer already planning to visit the retailer may now additionally retrieve a web coupon, causing an unnecessary discount.   Thus true metrics on web coupons may be a minus return rather than a claimed 500% return.
