Practical Example

Scenario:

• Total New Customers That Interacted with Marketing (Yearly): 400

• Total New Customers (Yearly): 1,000

Calculation:

• Marketing Influenced Customer Result (%) = (400 ÷ 1,000) × 100 = 40%

Interpretation:

40% of new customers interacted with your marketing efforts before making a conversion. This suggests a healthy influence of marketing, but there may still be room to increase marketing’s role in driving conversions.
