Online Marketing Spending – You Have to “Invest” Money to Make It!

Earlier this week, eMarketer published an article that reaffirmed what WSI is always telling our clients – even in a poor economy, you have to invest in your online marketing spending to make money. In fact, for a lot of businesses, increasing your business spending or reallocating marketing dollars into cheaper and more effective (read: online) media during a downturn can help you come out on top as the economy picks up.

The eMarketer article goes on to discuss the correlation between businesses that are continuing to succeed and greater marketing spending. The bottom line: “Almost two-thirds of small businesses that expected increased revenues had raised or planned to raise marketing spending, compared with just 32% to 36% of businesses with flat or declining revenues.” Additionally, “the survey showed small businesses shifting marketing initiatives toward cheaper digital media and away from traditional channels. The top three marketing tools used were social mediae-mail newsletters and search engine marketing.”

Contact us today to find out how WSI can help your business leverage these three (and other) marketing tools to maximize the effectiveness of your business spending. You may think you can’t afford to increase business spending or increasing online marketing spending right now, but the truth is you can’t afford not to if you want to survive and thrive in the current economy.

We encourage you to read the eMarketer article in its entirety here.

  1. I like to consider breaks during the my day and look by means of some blogs to find out what folks are saying. This blog appeared in my searches and i couldn’t help but clicking on it. I’m glad I did mainly because it was a incredibly satisfying learn.

  2. “Great submit & Fantastic blog! I’d definitely love to begin a weblog too but I have no clue where to begin. I possess the ability to do it (not that challenging on the technical portion) but I truly feel like I am too lazy to submit regularly. That is the problem, in the event you start you have to go all the way. However blogs like yours inspire me to have a go at it. “

    “Have you ever considered adding more videos to your weblog posts to keep the readers far more entertained? I mean I just read by way of the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I’m a lot more of a visual learner,I found that to be much more helpful. Just my my idea, Beneficial luck “
