Last week we released the Marketing Budgets 2010: Effectiveness, Measurement and Allocation Report done in collaboration with Econsultancy. We also released a 2-page brief on the study More Money, More Channels: Marketing Budgets in 2010.
Following a release like this, it is always enlightening to read feedback and questions that emerge in response to the data. Even better is when we can address questions or expand into related topics using data we already have available.
And such is is the case here. I ran across a comment last week on MarketingPilgram.com that gave us an idea. The comment? “I find summaries like this to be almost useless. It would be helpful to see results reported by industry-type.” Yes, ouch! Given that the report was already 50 pages long, we didn't include this information. But thankfully we can change that and Econsultancy has been kind enough to allow us to post this data on our site free of charge!
So now, when you register to download the research brief published by ExactTarget, you will also get a link to download a PowerPoint deck full of charts detailing the changes in marketing budgets by industry. There are over 30 charts in the deck broken out by channel (e.g., email, search, social, television), industry (e.g., retail, travel, publishing, etc.), and audience (e.g., B2C, B2B). Here's an example:

Clearly industry does play a role. Looking at retention email marketing budgets by industry, for example, we see huge discrepancies. While only 44% of travel companies plan to increase their email budgets in 2010, 71% of retailers plan to increase spending in this area.

Likewise, there is a significant difference in the changes in spending on mobile marketing depending on audience type. 66% of B2C marketers will increase mobile marketing budgets compared to only 44% of B2B marketers.
So Tom Kasperski, thanks for the comment and I hope you find the detailed information included in the additional charts valuable. Likewise, if anyone else has data they would like to see presented differently, please let us know by posting a comment!
