For instance, if 1 out of 100 people calls up the company to enquire about their services, 700 visitors are needed to visit the corporate website to have 7 people to call up without email lead generation marketing. If advertising cost per visitor amounts to approximately $100, the company would need to fork out at least $700 per lead.
Making use of email lead generation, 100 visitors to the website is needed to obtain 7 leads, amounting to only $100 per lead. This also increases the potential of referrals through word-of-mouth leading to secondary sales.
Effective lead generation attracts right prospects to get in touch with you. Even when customers leave the website, companies can still keep in contact with them. If businesses want to have an edge over competitors, it is time to consider this option especially in this digital era.
