One of the trends coming out of the recession appears to be the shift to online marketing for many b2b companies with a recent report backing up that theory.
eMarketer reports that a joint study from MarketingProfs and Forrester Research finds that two-thirds of respondents say their budgets would stay the same or increase in 2009. However, while these companies are not decreasing their marketing spending, they are shifting where their dollars go.
The report finds that 47 percent of b2b companies said they plan to increase spending on search engine marketing (SEM) this year while 34 percent said they will increase spending on blogs, according to eMarketer.
In fact, blogs appear to be the biggest winner in this study with only 7 percent of b2b companies saying they plan to cut their budget allocations to blogs. By contrast, 55 percent said they will cut spending on print advertising - the largest percentage on the list.
A report earlier this month from Outsell found that 74 percent of small b2b advertisers will increase or maintain spending in 2009 with another 60 percent of large b2b advertisers expected to do the same. Much of these dollars will end up going to online marketing with the report finding that the category will see an 8.2 percent increase over 2008.
