Forrester Predicts Huge Growth for Social Media Marketing [and Mobile Marketing and Email Marketing]
as posted on Marketing Pilgrim Friday, April 24th, 2009 by Andy Beal
Forrester Research is holding its own conference (Forrester’s Marketing Forum 2009) down in Orlando and has just revealed its predictions for the growth of online advertising. The bottom line is that social media and mobile will be the hottest, but just about everything will see an upward trend.

To couple with the stats above, 93 percent of Americans expect ALL companies they interact with and buy from have a social media presence. Ninety-three percent! That means if you don’t have a social media presence, your prospective customer likely isn’t going to buy from you and will go to your competition, who does have a presence.
I hear all the time, “I don’t have time”, “Why do I have to do this?”, “I don’t understand it”, and “My customer isn’t online.”
Make time. Your competition does. Understand it. It’s not rocket science. Your customer IS online, regardless of your wanting to admit it or not. This is just as important for B2B companies as it is for B2C. It’s time to get on the bandwagon.
Hi Paul,
This information is right on target and Forrester Research has experience in the Internet space going back to the 1990’s. Their predictions have been accurate in the past and they have a good reputation.
I recently posted a comment at LinkedIn about Social Media Marketing. This posting covers areas that need to be considered and three service options for businesses and corporations. You can see that here.
Thanks for passing this along to everyone.
Kind regards,
