How it works: example by Cisco
Improved measurability of marketing activities has become more and more popular in the last few years and is even being reinforced by the current market conditions. While the outcomes of regular (printed) marketing remain uncertain, Cost-Per-Lead and Cost-Per-Click marketing provides far better insight in the outcomes of a marketing campaign already. Online lead generation is even more measurable, because potential customers can be contacted immediately after they have showed their interest in your products.
