Despite research that shows SMBs are averaging 25 sales calls per month, the majority of local business owners let no more than four in the door.

Half of the Top 20 companies making money from local online advertising have nothing but advertising as their content (as opposed to a mix of local news and advertising). All of the Top 6 have nothing but advertising as content.
No local site gets more than a 33% share of all locally spent online advertising within its market area. The vast majority of sites get less than 5%.

By all measurements, mobile marketing is expected to be huge. While there’s always a gap between “expectation” and reality, this chart indicated that local businesses planned to spend significant portions of their ad budgets – between 10% and 24% for most – on mobile marketing in 2011.
Our forecast for mobile ad spending doesn’t quite show a hockey stick, but does indeed show a swift increase beginning in 2012 and 2013. The biggest categories will be app-related advertising and sponsorships and mobile-browser advertising.
Promotions is one of those misunderstood categories, but it’s certainly a big one. It refers to discounts, deals, contests and special offers. This chart shows that most of those promotions will be launched in apps and browsers and that spending will skyrocket over the next five years.
This shows the rapid adoption of social media by SMBs. In the summer of 2010, 45% of small businesses said they maintained a presence on a social network site or page. Within 18 months, the number had grown to 67%.
From our 2011 Online Real Estate Advertising Outlook, we published a chart showing how agents ranked their own websites as a better source of leads than professional referrals, newspaper ads, direct mail, and just about everything else but referrals from past customers and friends.
From a survey of more than 33,000 consumers last summer with Presslaff Interactive, we discovered that nearly one-third of them receive four or more coupons per day via email. The startling numbers we are beginning to see (not reflected here) show that online has quickly become the No. 1 source of coupons in the past year, surpassing in-store, direct mail and newspapers.
From a survey we conducted with Presslaff Interactive last summer, 729 local advertisers revealed some interesting things about deals programs that led us to believe these programs would continue to proliferate. This shows that, on average, SMBs offered 5 deals in the past 12 months, received 191 purchases, saw 29% of those consumers actually spend more, and saw that 45% of those who purchased deals were actually new customers altogether.
Despite research that shows SMBs are averaging 25 sales calls per month, the majority of local business owners let no more than four in the door.
