 “Event Marketing” – Average Monthly Searches: 15,461; Vicissitude Ratio: 13,426.92
The Vicissitude Ratio in this case is mostly likely an anomaly. The most likely reason for this is that “Event Marketing” is geo specific; as opposed to a broad search. For example “San Diego Event Marketing” (a favorite convention city) produces a more accurate result. “San Diego Event Marketing” - Average Monthly Searches: 3,270; Vicissitude Ratio: 2905.61.
All in, the focus for growth of this Event Marketing: Sales Leads has merit as any individual event marketer would find it difficult to obtain a high ranking in search engine results.
The sales leads generated by this Internet Business should bring a high price. For example, the current bid for PPC (pay per click) leads through Google AdWords for “Event Marketing” is $5.12; while the current bid for “San Diego Event Marketing” is $8.67. To estimate the charge for a “sales lead” through this website for sale one would need an understanding of the “conversion rate” for Google advertising and the expected higher value for a specific sales lead that includes contact information.
One could assume at least a 4 multiple as a minimum charge for a lead. Meaning $20.00 for “Event Marketing” and $34.00 for a “San Diego Event Marketing” sales lead. |
