A summary of our progress, touching on the development of a high-level roadmap, identifying our starting point, and the envisioning of our destination. We also revisit the concept of our ideal customer and the puzzle pieces of our marketing plan that are beginning to take shape.

Marketing Principles and The RDIE Framework:
We take a closer look at the RDIE framework (Research, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) and its application in our marketing strategy. Today’s focus highlights a crucial realisation – the leap into action with minimal initial research and development, particularly in efforts like the podcast, and how this insight shifts our approach moving forward.

The Importance of Evaluation:
The core of today’s discussion revolves around the Evaluation phase. We examine the multifaceted nature of measuring the success of our actions, considering not just financial ROI but also the investment of time, energy, and the impact on customer satisfaction. Evaluation is not the end but a bridge that connects back to Research and Development, ensuring a cyclical, iterative process of continual improvement and growth.

  • Reflecting on the RDIE framework reveals the need for a balanced approach to marketing efforts, recognising areas for improvement in our strategy.
  • Evaluation stands out as a pivotal phase, offering insights into the effectiveness of our actions and guiding the next steps in our journey.
  • Success metrics extend beyond financial returns, encompassing time, energy, and customer satisfaction, offering a holistic view of our marketing impact.
