Performance-based marketing is a form of advertising where the purchaser pays only for measurable results. Likewise, any organization running a digital marketing campaign only wants results from the campaign. Whether click-through or increased sales, every successful digital marketer has a performance goal in mind.

It would be great if an organization could pay only for successful campaigns. However, it is possible if an organization selects this form of marketing. In this article, CloudVandana will overview performance-based marketing and its functionalities.

Performance-based marketing is a ‘result-based’ marketing strategy rather than paying for marketing services monthly or annually. Organizations can pay when they get the results.

The result is considered anything measurable, including-

Sales, etc.

Digital Marketers can use these results to make quick decisions for marketing strategy, adjust keywords, or experiment with new ad formulas. This marketing process helps to drive business growth.

Marketers can use performance marketing for smaller campaigns for quick results and get a broader idea from those results for a long-term marketing campaign.
