IMPORTANT NUMBERS We have done our homework. Our love of horses brought us here.

But it’s our digital marketing background that will benefit you.

SEARCH

At least half of online shoppers begin by querying a search engine. Optimization is crucial; over 75% of them never look past Page 1 of search results.

MOBILE

Any modern site needs to translate perfectly to mobile platforms. Today, more than 25% of searches are mobile-based, and Morgan Stanley’s analysts predict that mobile Internet traffic will actually overtake desktop traffic by 2015.

SOCIAL

59% of active Internet users in North America have a Facebook account and use it regularly. 27% of all time spent online is dedicated to social networking – social media unifies targeted customer bases on one platform for efficient advertising and content promotion.

CONTENT

90% of customers find unique, custom content useful. Content marketing costs 62% less than traditional marketing and generates 300% as many leads (that means lots more eyes on your ads).

REVIEWS

Over 70% of shoppers consult at least one review before making a purchase. 97% of them report the review to be accurate, and 70% of them further amplify the review’s impact by sharing it with friends, family, and followers. Onsite reviews can improve conversions by 20%.

ANALYTICS

as an advertising partner, your HorseTrailers.net user dashboard displays precise statistics: how much traffic, how many inbound leads, referrals and Trailer Scout matches each ad generates. We also provide itemized quarterly reports that include search trends, sales activity, and other important metrics. Is your ad actually working? How well?

You’ll never have to wonder again.
