I've been having a dandy time analyzing the results of my Demand Generation Implementation Survey. In any case, the ten deployments in the first four months of 2009 (or 12 if you count the two future dates) and 12 in 2008 highlights the newness and fast growth of the demand generation industry. Fair enough. the system itself 0.67

Summary: Social media and access for sales people were the two big trends among demand generation vendors last year. At least three vendors (Eloqua, Marketo and Silverpop) introduced new features aimed at improving marketers’ ability to use social media. But enhanced reporting was the most common improvement of all. Social media.

Oracle does have an existing B2B marketing automation product, based on the technology it acquired from Market2Lead in 2010. Market2Lead was very good system, but it lacked the huge market presence that Oracle gains from Eloqua. More concretely, Salesforce now has to think long and hard about Marketo ’s future.

One of the audience members at the B2B Marketing University in Boston asked about demand generation systems for small businesses, and how to distinguish among the vendors in general. The table below presents a reasonably comprehensive list of demand generation (a.k.a. I'll be flying cross country to attend, so you could too.)

Other vendors have similar price points for the small business market (see my list of demand generation vendors ) although I suspect their internal costs are higher. Genius.com added a new Demand Generation edition that falls between its basic Email Marketing and full-blown Marketing Automation products.

I’d already noticed that the simplicity-focused vendors ( Marketo , Infusionsoft , OfficeAutoPilot and, as of yesterday, Genius.com ) build their campaigns as a list of steps with no branching flows. (To What I realized while writing my posts on Marketo and Genius.com is that you can’t view the individual campaigns in isolation.

you know that I see a lot of demand generation systems. But the vast majority of demand generation systems are installed in much smaller marketing departments, where setting up campaigns is just a fraction of the user's job. If you read this blog regularly (and who doesn't?), I'm in favor of that approach.

Eloqua “ The Business Case for Integrated Demand Generation ” offers data from Forrester, CSO Insights and several Eloqua clients. Marketo , in its Webinar Secret Sauce for Demand Generation , generously revealed its own results comparing nurtured vs. non-nurtured leads. The data is a couple of years old but still valid.

Back in early January I posted a discussion on treatment of Company-Level Data in Demand Generation Systems. At that time, I posed a set of specific questions to the demand generation vendors in the Raab Guide. Yesterday the final answer trickled in. Results are summarized in the table at the end of this post.

To start back at the beginning, the objective has been to find a practical, objective way to evaluate the usability of different demand generation systems. For example, every demand generation system provides an editor to create emails. So, having run out of reasons to delay, let me present the results. So it seemed best not to bother.

This post will complete the demand generation vendor usability scores by looking at items that contribute to usability for complex marketing programs. Marketo gets a half point because it can direct leads to lists, which in turn feed campaigns, but not to campaigns directly. Explicitly direct leads from one campaign to another.

Back in March, I wrote a fairly dismissive post about on-demand business intelligence systems. My basic objection was that the hardest part of building a business intelligence system is integrating the source data, and being on-demand doesn’t make that any easier. Campaign analysis in demand generation systems.

Of those that remain, some of them, such as Emma, Lithium, iPerceptions, Marketo, and (sort of) Sitecore, were actually acquired by private equity firms, but kept operating as stand-alone brands — so I didn’t circle them in red. A few just went out of business (circles with lines). But I suppose we could. An order of magnitude more.

The lure of cheap content in B2B marketing - Reputation to Revenue , April 26, 2010 An article in MediaWeek on content mills like Demand Media and Seed.com got me thinking about the dangerous lure of cheap content in B2B marketing. The instant gratification mindset of B2B content consumers means they’re demanding more content, faster.
