We have been advising clients to switch their advertising and marketing online for some time now. We would obviously advise that wouldn’t we! – but it does seem that more people are following our advice http://bit.ly/3d1bku
Even if the recession has bottomed out, and we are not fully convinced of that, we would suggest companies should still be looking at how they allocate their marketing budget. The number of people we meet who don’t measure where their enquiries come from never ceases to amaze me! What is the point of spending thousands of pounds on Yellow Pages if you don’t know how much business it brings?
That is one of the key advantages of using the online medium – you can track and measure everything through Google Analytices – even your off line campaigns. This allows you to really determine where those vauable dollars or pounds should be being spent – they do still need spending of course and many would suggest you should be increasing the spend during tough times – we would not advocate that – just a redistribution to a more online focus.
