4 STEPS TO CHOOSING A MARKETING ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

With a marketing asset management (MAM) tool, your company can develop a robust library of marketing assets available to your local producers in just a few clicks. There is no shortage of available MAM tools, however, and before you settle on one, you’ll need to take many factors into consideration.

By analyzing your company’s needs and assessing the usefulness of your potential MAM tool, you can set yourself up for widespread organizational efficiency gains. Here are four steps to follow when choosing a MAM tool and implementing it within your organization.

1. ASSESS THE CURRENT STATE OF YOUR COMPANY AND YOUR MAM SOFTWARE NEEDS.

What are your biggest marketing challenges? Are you managing a large group of users across the country or just a small group in your local area? Are you running a few larger campaigns a year or a consistent stream of smaller ones? Do you have printing capabilities or would you prefer to outsource it? How are you currently tracking performance – and is there room for improvement?

Once you’ve analyzed your needs, you can choose a MAM tool that works for you. Conduit offers the ideal solution for companies of all sizes, with a simple-to-use interface designed to maximize efficiency. You’ll maintain full control of your entire marketing process while giving power to your users to customize pieces for their local markets.

2. DETERMINE WHETHER THE MAM SOFTWARE ACTS AS A CENTRALIZED LOCATION FOR MARKETING ASSETS.

One of the biggest problems marketers face is keeping track of the vast amount of files, logos, images and other documents needed to create new materials. As you’re searching for the right MAM tool, it’s crucial to find a solution that allows you to keep all of your files in one place that can be easily accessed by your sales team.

3. MAKE SURE THE MAM TOOL IS MULTI-DEVICE FRIENDLY.

By choosing a MAM tool that offers strong reporting capabilities, you can identify which campaigns are winners and which ones need to be rethought.
