ROI Example

The Apple Co. ran two campaigns at separate times of the year. The goal of an apple company is to sell apples on their website (who’d have thought).

• Campaign 1 achieved 10,000 visitors to the website, 200 orders, 12 enquiries & 500 email sign-ups. It cost $50k to run & delivered $13k of value, which equates to an ROI of $0.27.

• Campaign 2 achieved 9,000 visitors, 400 orders, 50 enquiries & 500 email sign-ups. It cost $50k to run & delivered $24k of value, which equates to an ROI of $0.49.

Now you can more easily compare the performance of each campaign. Campaign 1 returned $0.27 and campaign 2 returned $0.49, so campaign 2 was nearly twice as effective.

Ex: An idea for promoting a product can not be copyrighted but the brochures, drawings and news features, photos, videos, slogans etc. can be.

Copyright Con’t

Take the time to protect your materials. It prevents competitors from capitolziing on your creative work.

They could create a copy of something and use it to mislead the public

Copyright starts from the moment a piece is published. (Legal filing is most effective)
