Over the course of 14 years we have worked on hundreds, even thousands of marketing campaigns - ranging from traditional outbound campaigns (telemarketing, direct mail, events etc) to modern inbound techniques (SEO, content, social media etc). In the past two years we have developed something which goes beyond a campaign, or individual marketing tactics - we've developed an entire system for sales and marketing that helps businesses grow.
This system is based on inbound marketing, content marketing and using the latest marketing automation and CRM/sales software. It is fully measurable, it is long-lasting and it builds value for the business.
When we talk to potential customers about implementing this system, we are often asked 'what results can I expect?'
So we have run an analysis of the first 18 customers who have been working with us with this comprehensive system for over a year, to find out what the average results were:
2.91x Increase in Website Traffic
Big and small, B2B or B2C, our customers have averaged a huge 2.91x increase in the number of people visiting their website each month as a result of working together with us.
7.54x Increase In Leads/Enquiries Per Month
In just twelve months, the average increase in the number of website leads & enquiries per month with our customers increased by 7.54x.
2.59x Increase In Website Conversion Rate
The vast majority of small and medium-sized businesses have poorly converting websites. In our analysis, we found that before working with us, the average conversion rate was just 0.71%. After twelve months, this had increased on average to 1.83%.
What About After The First 12 Months?
We liken our marketing system to a snowball rolling downhill - it gathers momentum and keeps getting bigger and bigger. With our clients, we see the results continue to improve beyond the first 12 months - graphs like the one below are pretty typical. In a few months we'll be able to run analysis on a number of customers who've been working with us on this system for more than two years, and we'll share the results with you on this blog - we expect them to be fantastic.
How Did We Get The Data?
With all of our clients we track their KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) on an ongoing basis. Before we begin work with a client, we review their current analytics and record their average number of website visitors for the past 12 months, and we ask them how many website leads/enquiries they get each month. This is compiled into a comprehensive sales and marketing report which we produce before starting a marketing programme.
To calculate the increases, we took an average of the number of website visitors and number of leads/enquiries per month for months 10,11 and 12 of our marketing program, and averaged these out so as not to skew the results by one very good or bad month (eg December).

What Types Of Businesses Are These?
This group of clients were not specially selected, they were simply the first 18 to have completed a full 12 months working with our marketing system. They are all SME's, in a variety of industries - B2B and B2C, and including professional services, construction, engineering, trade work, and retail/E-commerce.
They were also at a variety of different starting points - some had really under performing websites when we started work, others had sites which already worked well. In both scenarios, big improvements were seen.
