Your results and our take (sampling).
The Result, Digital Marketing:
Of the companies interested in website development/design services, 73% currently already had a website, and 53% were also interested in Digital Marketing services.
Our Take:
This statistic was particularly interesting to us. 47% of companies willing to invest in website development were not interested in digital marketing services – while we hope this is because many of these companies have internal marketing teams, at this price level we suspect that a portion of responders are not aware of the significant impact that marketing plays in a company’s success.
It is undeniably important for companies to have a sophisticated website, but how will users find this stellar website? Digital marketing endeavors are how you can take your site from page 52 of Google, to the prime time real estate that exists on the first page of search results.
The Result, Company Needs, and Budget:
To start the survey, we wanted to gather some preliminary information about our respondents. Some of the many things we tell clients to do, prior to starting the process of improving their online presence, are to establish a budget and identify what your company needs are.
Our Take:
We were interested to see how many participants valued social media marketing over other services. Though publishing on social media platforms is important, other marketing services may have a greater impact on ROI. For example, setting up a proper CRM integration will provide your company with valuable data relating to the full marketing and sales cycle. This includes real-time data about potential customers browsing your website or engaging with email marketing and the ability to weigh multiple touchpoints to see what efforts are having the greatest impact.
