Marketing Sherpa has just released their 2012 Lead Generation Benchmark Report. This is an extensive report on tactics and methods for generating new business leads, and draws from close to 2,000 companies covering both B2B and B2C marketing.<\/p>\n

Some interesting insights include:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Online tactics top the charts in effectiveness.<\/strong> Multichannel messaging has been rated as the most effective tactic for increasing engagement. When your targets receive the same message from you via multiple channels, you create a consistent and engaging experience.<\/li>\n
  2. Most CMOs agree that ROI, optimization and audience insights are of premier importance for 2012.<\/strong> The underlying theme of these priorities lies in the quality of leads generated.<\/li>\n
  3. Organizations target quality, but they aren’t paying for it.<\/strong> Despite an increasing need for quality, many organizations invest less than $20 per lead.<\/li>\n
  4. Lead nurturing is proven to improve lead generation ROI.<\/strong> On average, organizations that nurture their leads experience a 45% lift in lead generation ROI over those organizations that do not.<\/li>\n
  5. Clear communication of value is vital to success.<\/strong> The foundation of marketing messaging lies in the value proposition. Without a clear and compelling value proposition, buyers are left wondering why they should buy your product instead of a competitor’s.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    (Source MarketingSherpa.com)<\/p>\n

    My takeaway points from this report:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Online is key, but not exclusive:<\/strong> Note the emphasis on multi-channel marketing! While online marketing is the most effective, it still needs to be supported by a company-wide marketing strategy that covers all client interactions.<\/li>\n
    2. Increasing awareness of the importance AND cost of value:<\/strong> Companies large and small realize that they need to get more value out of their marketing budgets – AND (perhaps more importantly) they are realizing that there is lots of room for improvement. Optimization of marketing campaigns and more emphasis on ROI will be a recurring theme for the next few years.<\/li>\n
    3. Investing in outside help brings returns:<\/strong> With so much emphasis on improving value, nurturing leads and defining real ROI, companies have to acknowledge the long term benefit of contracting with a specialist. While there will be an upfront investment, the long term improvements in marketing efficiency will more than pay for the expert advice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
