Forrest Contact Lead Generation Survey Results 2020 (the COVID Year!)
During 2020 most of our clients’ were heavily impacted by COVID, so you might think that surveying our clients in a COVID year would be asking for trouble. But the results, though lower than in “normal” years, were still strong with an average ROI of over $7 for every $1 spent with us.
We paused many campaigns while our clients assessed the pandemic’s impact on their business, but most resumed a few weeks/months later as business confidence picked up. All our clients reported seeing lower sales conversions during 2020 compared to previous years. However, it is extremely pleasing to report that many clients still reported that our campaigns achieved a very solid return, despite the difficult business conditions. It just shows that you should not stop your lead generation – not even for COVID!
