smes: what is the real addressable market?
DESCRIPTION
SMEs: What Is the Real Addressable Market? Neal Polachek, Independent Industry Advisor & former CEO, The Kelsey Group Conference presentations often tell us there are millions of small businesses (ie - SMEs, SMBs) that represent the addressable market for digital advertising. But recent survey data suggest that many SMBs are lifestyle businesses whose owners don't want to grow. If accurate the implications for the market fare potentially radical. This session will explore the "real, addressable SME market." It also asks whether the products being sold to SMEs are truly aligned with their needs.TRANSCRIPT
