Motionlab always likes to give a helping hand to businesses looking to improve upon the number of leads and sales they receive, especially during these difficult financial times. And it looks like we have succeeded yet again.
Conservatory Outlet has reported a record number of internet leads in January, following the re-launch of their website in November of last year. It seems to be no coincidence that since our talented team of designers redesigned the site, of the 2900 leads generated, Conservatory Outlet’s main website accounted for over one third.
The rest of the leads received were generated through Conservatory Outlet’s regional dealers’ bespoke websites which were also all produced and thoroughly search engine optimised by Motionlab.
One particular stand-out performer during this period has been 5 Star Windows & Conservatories, the newest member of Conservatory Outlet. Also produced in conjunction with Motionlab, their new website, which was given a totally new look by our web design team and went live last month, has received double the amount of site traffic that it had compared to January 2010. Sales figures have also gone through the roof, dwarfing those of last year.
The network as a whole has benefitted from a 115% rise in the volume of online traffic throughout the month of January, with leads increasing by a staggering 240%.
This is further proof if any were needed that internet-marketing does work.

Internet outstrips TV ad spend for the first time
Thursday, October 1st, 2009The rise of the digital age was highlighted yesterday as the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) released their half year figures for 2009, showing that Internet ad spend had overtaken TV advertising for the first time in the UK.
Internet advertising was shown to be the only sector to have grown in the first half of 2009 taking a total of £1.75bn, a 4.6% growth. The figures take into account all forms of online advertising, PPC paid-for search, SEO, display and classified adverts.
The growth in the market further emphasises the importance of ensuring that your advertising campaign is considered, targeted and positioned correctly. The growth in the market suggests a greater dependency for online advertising moving forward with marketers recognising the increased measurability of the internet against other media. This is further highlighted by the overall decrease in advertising spend, across all media, by 16.6% in the first half of 2009.
Reasons for the growth and how to apply it to your business:
There are a number of significant factors to the growth of the sector. Consider these reasons when you are planning your next marketing campaign:
Direct Response: This year has seen marketing budgets being stretched to their very limits, and online has proved its worth, providing more accountability, measuring and clearer targeting.
Display Formats Developing: With the increase of videos being added and viewed online, the internet has become a highly engaging entertainment medium. Growth of 195% year-on-year has shown more and more companies are willing to engage in the interactive multimedia content.
E-commerce Booming: The recession has had a significant impact on consumers purchase decisions, reducing the amount of hedonistic high street purchases as consumers take to the internet to search for the best deals. With a greater amount of choice, supported by price comparison engines and efficient e-commerce systems consumers are switching their attentions more towards online, allowing retailers to expand and improve their online presence.
Broadband Changes: 92% people in the UK now have a broadband speed of over 2MB and 56% of home broadband users now have wireless broadband driving audiences online allowing advertisers to provide customers with richer content in their campaigns.
