Today, we have something very special on the blog: the first in a two-part series on lead conversion rates that is based on a recent report we completed.
In this first post, we’re going to look at what the data tells us about net-new leads and lead conversions. Net-new leads are any new contact one of our clients earned that wasn’t already in their MAP (Marketing Automation Platform).
Nonetheless, our research shows that paid media can be one of the best lead conversion tools when you add Hushly to the mix.
First, of all the paid traffic Hushly’s customers were able to attract and convert, 72% more net-new leads, meaning they represented brand-new opportunities for these B2B companies.
That’s a rate just about any B2B marketer would be happy to see. However, it’s far more impressive when you realize that this is paid traffic that visited these companies’ sites, decided to leave, and then were convinced to stay and provide contact information because of the Hushly platform.
Obviously, the conversion rates for all traffic are all promising, too. While paid traffic is great, most B2B marketing strategies rely on plenty of other channels, too. To see lead conversion rates of 62% for new visitors was absolutely amazing.
Furthermore, the results were consistently high across all device types, too. Here’s the breakdown of net-new contacts vs. existing by device type:
We’re well aware that it’s an ambitious claim and we’ve definitely received our fair share of scrutiny over the years.
Yet, as our report shows, we actually exceeded this lofty goal.
Prior to using Hushly, our clients saw an average conversion rate of just 5.4%. After utilizing our platform, these companies saw that rate increase to 59%!
