Boulder, CO (PRWEB) July 20, 2012

The 2012 Wholesale Distribution Economic Reportsthe seventh edition of this annual economic data reference guide include industry statistics, trend analysis, benchmarking data and forecasts for 19 sectors in the distribution industry, including industrial (http://www.mdm.com/2012-wholesale-distribution-economic-reports–industrial-distributors/PARAMS/product/734); hardware, plumbing and heating equipment/supplies (http://www.mdm.com/2012-wholesale-distribution-economic-reports–hardware–plumbing—heating-equipment-supplies-wholesalers/PARAMS/product/733); building materials and construction; electrical and electronics; and grocery and foodservice.

The wholesale distribution industry continued to grow faster than the overall U.S. economy in 2011, said Tom Gale, president of Industrial Market Information and publisher of Modern Distribution Management, which published the reports. Aggregate revenues of wholesaler-distributors increased by 9.3 percentage points more than nominal U.S. Gross Domestic Product, reflecting rebounding sales of a smaller base following the recession.

The fastest rate of growth in 2011 for wholesale distribution was in Oil and Gas Products, due to increased investment in shale formations; when accounting for inflation, real revenues in this sector actually decreased however. Industrial distributors saw the largest real rate of growth, with sales up 15.3% in 2011. MDM forecasts all wholesale distribution sectors will grow in 2012.

Total wholesale distributors sector revenues in 2010 were up 12.8 percent from 2009.

All 19 market reports are available for purchase in the 2012 Wholesale Distribution Economic Factbook, which also includes information on the overall industry.

These reports allow you to plan strategically for the year ahead with accurate current and forward-looking data on your wholesale distribution line of trade, Gale said. For example, learn how much sales and sales per employee have changed in your line of trade; how much weekly earnings have changed; which niches are producing the highest and lowest gross margins; how many companies are competing in your niches, and more.

These distribution sector reports, delivered in downloadable pdf, are invaluable resources for detailed distribution channel benchmarking data if you are managing, selling to or investing in a wholesale distribution company. The Wholesale Distribution Economic Reports use data from the most recent U.S. Annual Wholesale Trade Survey and reflect March 2012 government data revisions.

New eBook: The Ultimate Conversion Rate Optimization Guide Now Available to Help B2B Firms Increase Website, Landing Page, and Pipeline Conversion Rates

Posted on by
Reply

(PRWEB) June 04, 2012

Demand Generation is persuasion. Persuade to click; persuade to engage; persuade to call; persuade to sign-up; persuade to add-to-cart. When it comes to conversion rate optimization, the art of persuasion is just as critical as before-the-funnel marketing messages such as advertising and paid search. If a website or landing pages are not planned right, written right, designed right, or tested right, potential prospects jump ship, and go to competitors, because the website’s persuasion architecture is not optimized.

With so much attention to buyer 2.0 research habits, social media, SEO, and other digital channels that contribute to a prospects trail to a firm’s website, its no wonder sales has much pressure to close, as well as an increased reliance on how well the marketing team generates quality-sellable leads. A firm’s sales performance, as well as your firms growth, relies on the marketing teams strategic efforts to bring quality prospects to its website or landing page, and to persuade those visitors to become leads.

Thats why Mosenson’s latest eBook, Convert! Optimizing Website & Landing Page Conversions for Lead Generation was written. Convert! is meant to describe and showcase strategies and tactics that can contribute to an increased website conversion rate. Mosenson explains key concepts that a marketing team should be doing to increase inquiry-to-lead conversion rates as well as conversion rates later in the funnel by implementing a content and lead nurturing strategy. Among the topics covered:

Planning a persuasive website. Every page on a website must contribute to the persuasive story, no matter where in the buying cycle a prospect may be. Mosenson reviews key concepts and showcases a case study of a website that doesnt get how to be persuasive for conversion.

Landing Page Optimization. Once a visitor comes to your landing page via search, social, or online display because of a persuasive message, if that potential prospect isnt persuaded to continue the conversion process, theres problems with the landing page strategy. Mosenson takes a deep dive into landing page strategy, and shows how to increase conversions.

Content That Converts. Relevant content is one of the key reasons prospects choose to do business with B2B firms. If youre in sales, please make sure marketing understands its buyers needs, so that the content can contribute to solving those needs.

The Role of Nurturing. Marketing automation continues to infiltrate B2B firms. Why? Because of the automated qualification and email marketing process. Lead Nurturing, or drip marketing, is an essential strategy to guide that lead conversion into a sales conversion. Its the process; but most of all, its the content that mostly contributes to increased sales opportunities.

Testing and Measurement. All elements of a landing page should be tested. Many tools exist that offer testing platforms. Without testing (and learning), theres no way to judge the effectiveness of a landing page. Testing increases conversions, and that means more leads to sales.

Retargeting. A subject not discussed much when writing about conversion optimization, but technology exists to serve banner ads to those who visited your landing page or website but did not convert, or even targeting those who search for terms that you sell but do not ever reach your website (thats called search retargeting). Mosenson reviews the strategy.

Pipeline Conversion. Finally Mosenson introduces an app that takes conversion to the bottom funnel level by demonstrating how this new app can optimize the pipeline and sales process, increase close rates, and generate increased revenue.

This is the only ebook of its kind that attempts to address all components of conversion rate optimization, as explained by a sales team. Its a fun read; but also compelling. If Marketing has not taken advantage of many of the concepts Mosenson describes, then theres work to be done.
