Hi
I'm looking at some general benchmark stats on online/offline splits. If any of you can let me know approximate %'s e.g. of total marketing budget x% is spent online (search, affiliates, email, banners) I'd be very grateful.
Alternatively, if there are any published results from top brands that detail this I'd be keen to read up on it
Thanks, Luke

Hi Luke,
We assessed this through a question in the managing digital channels report earlier this year (average digital comms spend was 23%):

From memory, paid search is around 60% of total although they include classifieds which skew the results and exclude affiliate/aggregator s

Luke,
it does of course where you get yur greatest ROI, i think in the current climate it is a good idea to see what can be measured. The problem is you dont want to lose out on offline brand building acivity which cant be easily measured. However, we have found that online gives a great return on investment, can be measured and easily stopped and started and changed.
With regards the split between the actual online stuff, i think Dave C is your man :-)
Regards
chris
