Measuring your success the right way: a SMART strategy for marketing success metrics

Viivi Engström | 1.12.2023

Marketing is a journey into the unknown, but with the right metrics, you can make sure you’re on the right path to success.
The SMART mindset provides an effective approach that makes measuring marketing results smart and purposeful.

Structure of the SMART thinking model

Specific:
When using the SMART approach to growth hacking, define exactly what you want to achieve.
Instead of setting a general goal, such as “increase the number of users”, set a specific goal, e.g.
“increase the number of daily users on our mobile app by 30% in a month.”

Measurable:
When an objective is specific, it is also measurable.
Use concrete indicators to monitor growth.
For example, how can you measure the growth in daily users?
Is it the number of new registrations or the increase in active users?

Achievable:
Be realistic about your resources and opportunities.
In growth hacking, this may relate to issues such as available marketing channels and budget.
Set a target that is challenging but achievable with your current resources.

Relevant:
Make sure that your growth ambition is directly linked to your business strategy and supports the growth of your business.
For example, if your goal is to acquire users quickly, choose a growth hacking strategy, such as social media advertising, that supports this goal.

Time-bound:
Set a time limit to reach the target.
Growth hacking is often fast and agile, so you can set short time limits.
For example, “We will increase the number of daily users on our mobile app by 30% in the next month.

The SMART mindset as a guiding force for growth creation

Finally, by applying this mindset to your growth hacking, you will ensure that your goals are clear, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound.
A smart approach will help you optimise your resources and make more informed decisions to accelerate your growth.
It’s time to put the SMART mindset into practice and take your growth ambition to the next level!
