The events of the last few months have meant that companies have had to rethink their marketing efforts, with companies everywhere pivoting to direct response. As the Coronavirus pandemic has shifted from an initial unknown into a new normal, businesses have had to evolve with the times.
Companies across all industries are struggling to survive and marketing will be an essential part of their recovery. Instead of cutting budgets, it is vital that companies focus on new customer acquisition and pivot their attention fully to performance marketing. What differentiates performance marketing from its traditional counterparts is the necessity to constantly innovate, pay for results, and track performance on a far more granular level.
But what does the paid marketing landscape currently look like? The first month of the pandemic saw paid social take the biggest hit, with a 45% decrease in spend noted in March. However, with this downturn comes a golden opportunity for smaller businesses to capitalize on cheaper CPC's and CPMs on both social and native networks. Since its inception, the internet has been in a constant state of evolution, making it difficult for marketers to keep up with the ever-changing trends.
