People are embracing digital technologies more quickly than ever before as working from home becomes the new norm. B2B businesses are rushing to adopt digital solutions so they won’t fall behind.
Companies are currently reviewing their communication plans and taking into account new digital platforms. Does this strike a chord with you? If so, your marketing plan must also adapt to your new technology. To target your prospects with the appropriate material at the appropriate time, you need to learn more about them and their online behaviours.
Your sales and marketing departments will need to work together more to come up with relevant projects that really add value. Your success depends on using social media platforms, long-form content, and virtual events.
Virtual events need to provide value and incentive
Events: Do you recall them? Gatherings and meet-and-greets in the industry used to be popular ways to connect with potential customers, give them value, and build or strengthen relationships and brand loyalty. Attendees end up being brand advocates and lifelong consumers. But even though the “in-person” component of events is no longer relevant, virtual events can currently fill the void.
During virtual events might be the best time to show off new products, start debates, and share important news. But wait a minute. A meaningless online event is the worst. You must capture the attention of your attendees and provide them with something of value if you want your event to be successful. Why would your B2B clients connect to your event if there were no refreshments and conversation to tempt them?
Offer attendees special access, extra benefits, and discounts in exchange for their participation.
Tailor your digital communication strategy to your audience
Today, using the appropriate language and tone is just the beginning; you also need to make sure you’re on the appropriate social media sites and platforms. Do ads on LinkedIn, email marketing, direct mail, phone calls, or something unique to your industry work best with your B2B audience?
You can reach your target audience and get them interested in what you have to offer by showing them different things. More planning and investigation are required than ever before from your marketing staff.
High-quality content remains king
As always, a symbiotic link between marketing and sales is required. Marketing creates buzz and demand, while sales qualifies prospects, closes deals, and asks for referrals and repeat business.
Strong, practical material, both long- and short-form, is the best approach to creating buzz. To make the whole process more valuable, your marketing team should focus on building a library of useful content that the sales team can use to engage prospects and close deals. Additionally, strong content positions your business as a thought leader in your industry. For your marketing team to fully understand the journey of your sales team, they need to hear from your sales team about what works best.
