I was reading yet another story about how newspapers can be saved by tweaking their business models. The newspaper industry can tweak their business models all they want, yet as long as Google offers advertisers a more direct method of reaching their audience without having to wrap their sales message in the day’s news, the news – whether online or offline – will continue to illustrate just how ineffective it has been all along at delivering branded sales messages let alone direct sales message performance. The reality is News as content is no longer the most effective sales message carrier. No business model can change what has been traditionally considered “news”.

From eMarketer: In November 2009, MarketingSherpa surveyed US marketers about their stage in the social media life cycle; a plurality were still in the transition phase. But a substantial percentage had progressed to using social media strategically in their research, objectives and actions. That entailed having a formal process that was routinely performed for social campaigns. Paul Verna, eMarketer senior analyst, said in the report “ Five Reasons Why Marketers Need to Have a Social Media Strategy ” that marketers often neglect an integrated strategy because of the perception that social media is easy and cheap to do. But much of the real cost of social campaigns is in the people-hours spent fostering and maintaining social conversations. According to data from eROI nd eMarketing & eCommerce (eM+C) , US marketers spent 13% of their online marketing time on social media in 2009, the second-largest share of any tactic. Marketers who spent 13% of their online marketing time during 2009 on social media have surely already questioned the amount of time they plan to commit to social media in 2010.

According to a report from strategy consulting firm AMR International, online B2B spending will recover in 2010 and experience compound annual growth through 2013. From eMarketer: The B2B Online Marketing report notes that growth in several areas will exceed the average rate. B2B social media marketing spending will enjoy a CAGR of 21% over the period, while lead generation Websites will increase 17%. Unlike in media as a whole, where the biggest B2B marketing focus is on building awareness, in the online channel lead generation is the top priority. Customer retention is also more important online, with awareness lagging behind when it comes to divvying up digital budgets. Lead Generation As an online marketer, I am amazed business to business marketers are still allocating the majority of their media spend to building awareness whether online or off versus focusing exclusively on harvesting leads online. I guess not all B2B Marketers are aware …
