Budgets on the rise for Conversational Marketing

I came across this interesting article about the growth projections of social media and conversational marketing over the next 5 years. According to the study, 81% of marketers said in five years, they will be spending as much or more on conversational marketing vs. traditional marketing initiatives. And, while conversational marketing still represents a small portion of today’s marketing mix, conversational marketing is expected to outpace traditional marketing by the year 2012. I’m glad they are finally getting it!

    Yeah, but let’s just hope that they can have “real conversations” and not just marketing fluff.

    I agree with this post and I think there is definitely a lot of potential for conversation marketing, just like social networking.
