  <body-uk-formatted>Editor's note: the &lt;a href="http://www.e-consultancy.com/publications/online-lead-generation-2008/"&gt;2008 Online Lead Generation (B2C) Report &lt;/a&gt;has now been published. 
&lt;p&gt;
The internet is revolutionising the way that many companies are generating leads for their products and services.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Surprisingly, there has been very little research around &lt;strong&gt;Online Lead Generation&lt;/strong&gt; even though it is emerging as a key sales and marketing activity.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
This research report, sponsored by online lead generation specialist &lt;a href="http://www.clash-media.co.uk"&gt;Clash-Media&lt;/a&gt;, aims to shed more light on this area with a particular focus on B2C.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The 32-page report is based on an online survey of more than 400 marketers in January and February 2007.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The &lt;strong&gt;report findings&lt;/strong&gt; are divided into the following sections:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

-) What is online lead generation?
&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
-) How companies generate consumer leads (offline and online)
&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
-) Lead generation budgets
&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
-) Online aggregators

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Highlights from the findings include:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
-) 82% of online marketers see online lead generation as a growth area. &lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
-) 64% of online marketers see online lead generation as its own distinct area of online marketing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
-) Three-quarters of respondents (74%) working for multi-channel organisations said that their companies are generating leads online with the intention of converting them offline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
-) Only 44% of marketers say that their organisations are effectively exploiting online lead generation as a way of growing their B2C business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
