Low Cost Entry with High ROI

Your marketing budget is a limited resource that must be utilized effectively to get the most return for your dollar. As with other forms of advertising, you can:

		Spend a great deal of money to reach the widest audience possible, or
		Spend considerably less to reach a smaller, better-targeted market

Either way you choose can be effective, it's the return on your investment dollars (ROI) that matters. Less expensive marketing solutions can yield a higher percentage of ROI if the targeted market penetration is successful.

Low Cost Entry, High ROI Potential: Spend a Little, Get a Lot

While GM may spend $10 million for a 30-second spot during the Super Bowl and see a 2% (or $200,000) increase in sales, a powerful $3-per-click keyword phrase, placed at the top of a sponsored text-link column, can increase your website's traffic and sales by 10%, 20%, 100%, or more.

Say you buy a Top-of-Page sponsored ad on Google for $1000 a month and only get 100 visitors to click through to your site. There are no guarantees as to how well your ad will perform.

It has now cost you $10 for each lead. If you can convert even 10% (a huge number) of these visitors into sales, Targeted Keyword sponsorship can end up costing you $100 per sale in marketing expenses.

Conversely, if you were to bid for the top position in open auction for the Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Sponsored Links, it might cost you around $4 per click for the most popular keyword phrases, depending on demand.

If you were to received the same amount of traffic as the above example, PPC would only cost you $400 for the same 100 leads, or just $40 per sale, a considerable cost-savings and increase in your ROI.

Even if the bid price doubled, well-managed PPC programs can increase your profits by 100% or more over a targeted ad program.
