Last month, we surveyed contractors on Digital Branding. Below is the result from one of the questions we asked...
 

Has your company found online marketing to be a cost-effective way to increase leads?

While just seventy-one percent of those surveyed said their companies had engaged in online marketing, a whopping 81% of those who had engaged in it found value, against 19% who did not. While it can be daunting to shell out untold amounts of money toward marketing, there’s balance to be found once you’ve established a proper return on investment (ROI) that will ensure the revenue you bring in from any given marketing activity exceeds the marketing costs. Once you’ve found the target ROI, after factoring in other expenditures and costs associated with onboarding new customers, it’s much easier to simply incrementally increase those marketing costs knowing revenues will increase proportionately.
