Editor's Notes
- 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.
- Borrell expects Social Media marketing to hit $11.7 billion in 2012, up 28% from last year. The “local” portion spent by SMBs to reach potential customers nearby is forecast to roughly double in 2012 and 2013. Currently, Social Media spending accounts for 11% of all online ad spending by SMBs.
- Nearly two-thirds of all SMBs had a social media presence in 2011. Survey data indicate that 80% of them will have a presence by the end of 2012.
- Among SMB expenditures in online marketing, Social Media ranked #3 – just below email and search-engine marketing -- in spending for the coming year. Although many media companies continue to push banners, that method of online marketing is drawing far less interest than others.
- Of all spending on social media, SMBs spend more than two-thirds on traditional advertising (buying search ads, display ads, email, etc.) and the reset on promotions. The promotions involve the administration of contents, the amounts spent to build or manage pages, or the amount of a discount or cents-off coupon.
- Facebook continues to dominate social media spending among SMBs. Blogs have the second-highest attraction. This is a “spending” chart; their attraction to Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media forums may be a lot higher, though the actual dollar expenditure is not.
- 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.
