    Budgets
How much is your average
COST PER LEAD?
Inbound Consistently Yields Lower Cost
Leads
Blogs cited as least expensive
Trade shows ranked as most expensive
The worst thing we
                    did in marketing
                    last year was
                    attend several
                    trade shows and
                    events with low
                    yield and ROI.

Direct mail is
                     very expensive
                     and ineffective
                     for new leads.

Social Media & Blogs Generate Real
Customers
The best things we’ve
                         done to drive leads and
                         sales this past year is
                         embrace social
                         media, establish a
                         blog, and convince
                         ownership to accept
                         inbound marketing
                         strategy.

Facebook Is More Effective for B2C; LinkedIn Is for
B2B
LinkedIn is the
                         best social media
                         channel by far for us
                         as we are in B2B…
                         Facebook is not
                         getting much traction.

    important to
    marketers?
Which sources of
leads have
become MORE
important to you
over the last six
months?
Social Media & SEO Growing in Importance
Direct Mail Declining in Importance
This past year we
                       spent a few
                       hundred dollars on
                       a door-hanger
                       marketing piece
                       and got no
                       response—at all.
