Stick with search in a downturn
Friday, January 23rd, 2009Matt O’Brien, MD of Cheeze was quoted this week in Travolution talking about maintaining spend in the downturn. This year has already seen substantial growth in results vs this time last year, and this article looked at the differences we were seeing last Autumn when the recession was starting to bite,
If we compare Autumn 2007 with Autumn 2008, we’d expect to see a drop in sales, but our research shows that actually those travel brands spending on a par with last year are achieving on average a 30% increase in sales over this period last year.
And brands that have trimmed their digital marketing budgets are still seeing, on average, a 7% boost in like-for-like sales.
For many travel clients there are still huge opportunities to maximise returns from paid search as well as maintaining relevance and visibility in other accountable digital channels.
