On Monday, Genius.com announced “the first free, instant-on demand generation solution”, a description carefully crafted to distinguish their offering from the free version announced by LoopFuse in June. LoopFuse also provides automated Salesforce.com integration, but doesn’t have Genius’s Web tracking technology.

As you might imagine, I’ve been trying to decide how to expand the set of products covered in the Raab Guide to Demand Generation Systems. But I’ve also been approached by some of the other demand generation specialists. But my real concern was the Other Demand Generation group.

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.

Summary: LoopFuse offers attractive but limited demand generation functions at an easy-to-swallow price. It’s been nearly a year since I took my first close look at the LoopFuse OneView demand generation system. The process to set up multi-step campaigns (which the vendor calls “lead flows”) is now quite straightforward.

The failure of freemium (though not open source) offerings from LoopFuse and Genius are strong evidence that being free is not enough. I started with the lead import feature, which was rather barebones. The flow can branch on a few lead behaviors (downloads asset, opens email, submits form, visits page).

I weighted pricing much more heavily for small firms, and gabe technology, lead scoring and technology heavier weights at larger firms. The following table shows the major weights I assigned.

And, while Act-On, Net-Results and Marketbright all argue that their systems are substantially easier to use than products like Pardot, Marketo and LoopFuse, those vendors surely disagree.

I had figured to start off with my industry growth figures, but this led naturally to a question about long-term potential, which in turn leads to thoughts of market penetration rates. We’ve recently been seeing surveys that suggest something close to 50% adoption of marketing automation.

Summary: LoopFuse has extended its system to capture more Web traffic data, which lays the foundation for future analytics.

In fact, the risk is so low that Act-On has actually reduced its free trial period from 30 days to 14 days and eschewed the freemium offers used by competitors Genius and LoopFuse. For what it’s worth, Genius and LoopFuse seem satisfied with their freemium results. Complex nurture campaigns and lead scoring are used much less.
