ICON16: How Infusionsoft Plans To Dominate Small Business Marketing (and Make Life Better For Small Businesses Everywhere)

Customer Experience Matrix

I spent part of last week at ICON16, Infusionsoft ’s annual combination of customer conference, revival meeting, and group therapy session for small business owners.

Customer Experience Matrix

While last week’s post found that Marketbright aims at more sophisticated clients, Pardot explicitly targets small and midsize businesses (or SMBs as we fondly acronymize them [yes, that’s a word, at least according to [link] ]).

Hosted Software Enters the Down Side of the Hype Cycle

Customer Experience Matrix

(For the acronym impaired, SMB is “small and medium sized business” and SaaS is “software as a service”, a.k.a. I personally suspect the cost issue is the real one: whether or not they’re control freaks, SMBs are definitely penny-pinchers.

Business marketers probably spend more online, but, once you add in the cost of salespeople, I’d guess that online spending still accounts for less than 10% of the combined total. It merged in 2007 with online forms vendor AxiomFire and assumed its current name in January 2009. Look, I know online marketing is important.
