Education and University Space Must Lower Online Customer Acquisition Costs to Survive, Says Leadpile

Education and University Space Must Lower Online Customer Acquisition Costs to Survive, Says Leadpile

Competition in oversaturated online education and university space necessitates a new look at lead costs.

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) April 2, 2006

According to Jupiter research, online search and display advertising will grow to $15 billion in 2010, and paid search advertising will be critical to this burgeoning growth. Rich media and streaming media will also see strong growth, generating almost $4.5 billion in 2010, as will classified advertising, which will bring in $4.1 billion. With this increase in online advertising will come some very important decisions for Education and University players to handle their online lead acquisition costs, says Leadpile. com

Leadpile says that online advertisers are primarily choosing Google and Yahoo! for their campaigns. As paid search continues its steady growth, and as commercial search traffic will cause cost-per-click (CPC) prices rise, Education and University players will quickly have to decide where they will place their online advertising dollars in order to further compete in the expanding online world. As online advertising continues to occupy a significant portion of the Education and University overall advertising budget, both online ad agencies and Education and University marketing executives will have to focus on what approach and creative strategies will best increase their return on investment (ROI), and lower their acquisition costs. Bottom line, Education and University players will have to pay much more attention to online lead generation and acquisition costs as online advertising gets more competitive each and every day.

Andrew Jacob, CEO of Leadpile. com says, “The online Education and University space will continue to get more and more competitive. Only those companies that can keep their acquisition costs low will bloom in the burgeoning online world. Today, Education and University players are not taking full advantage of the online opportunity, both nationally and locally. National and Local advertising has a long way to go in the online space, and only those Companies that find the most direct route to their target consumer will win.”

Our centralized marketplace, where Buyers and Sellers of Leads meet, is revolutionary, and will take the Online Lead Industry to the next level of efficiency by eliminating multiple layers of Lead Middleman who have driven the cost of Leads to Unprecedented Levels for Lead Buyers. “Our proprietary system allows Buyers and Sellers of leads to engage in the World’s largest and most efficient marketplace.
