The challenge for business is to accurately measure success of each banner and eDM – it\u2019s no longer enough to simply measure the click conversion. If you\u2019re not also measuring calls \u2013 then you\u2019re missing a key metric that plays a significant part in the banner ad or eDM’s success or failure.<\/p>\n
Our developers recently devised a solution so that Delacon\u2019s call tracking<\/a> clients can track calls from banner ads and eDMs regardless of whether a referrer is managing the placement of the banner or not.[\/vc_column_text] {lpurl}?utm_plasource=banner<\/strong><\/p>\n See example in below image:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n To view banner ad call data, you can simply login to the Delacon portal and view the Call Log Report<\/a>. Calls made from display ads will show in the search engine field as\u00a0\u2018Google\u2019 and in the type field as \u2018Paid Banner’.<\/p>\n If you would like to capture\u00a0more specific\u00a0data on which individual\u00a0banners are delivering phone calls, the below UTM parameter will need to be added to the\u00a0landing page URL.<\/p>\n ?utm_plasource=banner<\/strong><\/p>\n Simply change the ‘=banner’ prefix\u00a0to name each specific banner\u00a0i.e.\u00a0utm_plasource=bannerabc,\u00a0?utm_plasource=bannerxyz\u00a0etc.<\/p>\n Example<\/strong><\/p>\n If the landing page<\/a> URL is:\u00a0www.mylandingpage.com\/business\/abn.html<\/a>, then the URL with the additional tracking code will be\u00a0www.mylandingpage.com\/business\/abn.html?utm_plasource=banner<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you want to name the banner to identify it specifically among many banner advertisements, then\u00a0the URL will look like:<\/p>\n www.mylandingpage.com\/business\/abn.html?utm_plasource=bannerabc<\/a><\/p>\n By adding this additional code, we are forcing the page to always display a call tracking<\/a> number. Logically, the referrer will be the last page before the lead lands on the business landing page.[\/vc_column_text] If you want to track the volume of calls that were originally sparked by an email then you should add the code\u00a0?utm_plasource=email to the landing page<\/a> URL.<\/p>\n Therefore if the landing page URL is:\u00a0www.mylandingpage.com\/business\/abn.html<\/a>, then the URL with the additional tracking code for emails will be be\u00a0www.mylandingpage.com\/business\/abn.html?utm_plasource=<\/a>email<\/span>.[\/vc_column_text] You need to use the \u2018?utm_plasource\u2019 prefix however you can change the \u2018email\u2019 to something else, for example \u2018eDM\u2019 if you wish to or need to name it something else.<\/p>\n How will eDM leads be displayed in the call reports?<\/strong><\/p>\n Any leads which come through from an eDM (with correctly tagged URLs) will show in the Search Engine field as \u2018Referral\u2019 and Type field \u00a0as \u2018Email\u2019.<\/p>\n Do I\u00a0need to make any changes to the Delacon configuration to see this data?<\/strong><\/p>\n No you do not need to make any changes to Delacon\u2019s configuration.<\/p>\n When will the data start coming through?<\/strong><\/p>\n Once the URLs are tagged correctly, the data should start coming through\u00a0as soon as lead comes through from an eDM.<\/p>\n If you have any unique online sources that require tracking – and our developers can devise a creative solution to assist your business accurately monitor calls from your marketing campaigns.[\/vc_column_text] [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Online banner advertising and eDMs can deliver significant traffic to websites.
