But perhaps far greater is a perception that some marketing activities aren’t working and are not worth implementing simply because no direct linkage can be made between the dollars allocated and the revenue generated. Further, because of this, the responsibility for promoting the firm is susceptible not just to risk, but also to Monday morning quarterbacking.
