Marketing Budgets – A shift in emphasis in 2009

48% of businesses are increasing their marketing spend on Social Media and Email marketing this year. I am sure very little of this will be new money, so what part of the mix has been cut? Radio and TV ads have taken a huge hit with 83% of companies surveyed decreasing their budget and similarly with print advertising.

These figures back the theory that the ‘new way of marketing’ is not about shouting at people through a megaphone and hoping some of your audience are listening, but targeting your market carefully and sending them timely, relevant and valuable information….building a meaningful relationship with them.

Timely + Relevant + Valuable Information = Happy, loyal customer.
