1. Effectively Delivering the Promises You Make

Now, this tactic is very important in the marketing field as it gives an opportunity to create the best impression in the minds of the consumer about the brand. Let us understand this better with examples.

Example 1: An Internet Service Provider company promises to provide the best Internet speed to other businesses at an affordable price without interruption but fails to keep its promise.

As we know today, all business functionalities happen through the internet, and now it’s possible that the internet downtime will lead to a huge loss for the company. This affects the trust of internet service providers.

 Example 2: You are a blogger, and you wrote a blog on "Easily adaptable health tips that keep you away from the doctor."

If people are searching for health tips, it clearly means that they are looking for new fresh which they can easily adapt to their busy schedule. As the title promises “easily adaptable health tips,” but the reader doesn't find the health tips to be new, fresh, and moreover not easy to follow, then it creates a bad relationship with your audience.

Hence it is recommended to effectively deliver the promises you make so that you have a good relationship with your audience.

2. Customize the marketing strategy to the personal level

Consumers undergo a three-level buyer journey process as below.

  • Awareness: The prospect at this stage has realized there is a problem.
  • Consideration: The prospect is very clear about the problem and is looking for a solution and expert advice to come up with the problem.
  • Decision Making: The prospect is now very clear about the solution and ready to opt for it.

Hence, you need to make sure that every stage of the buyer's journey is personalized and touches human emotions, which lets the buyer make a faster decision on opting for your services.

3. Why Social Media and Email as a marketing strategy

Today, we see a large number of people engaging and interacting with interesting content on social media. The role of a marketer is to first understand the tone of each available social media channel. For example, Facebook and Instagram are more entertainment and informational video-sharing platforms, whereas Twitter is an oriented channel where people put out their views on politics, entertainment, science, technology, etc..!! And LinkedIn is more of a professional platform. 

Depending upon your business, you need to choose the right platform and create interesting, engaging content for your audience. Email Marketing is another best b2b quality lead generation method for any business as it gives opportunities for marketers to create personalized and customized content and deliver directly into the inbox of their ideal prospects.

Below is the social media content with which people like to interact with.

  • Important Business Tips and Motivational Videos
  • Pain points and solutions
  • Explain the features of your B2B products and services
  • Brand Success and failure stories
  • Photos and Testimonials--particularly videos
  • FAQ
  • Live Videos
  • Product Explainer Videos
  • Webinars
  • Live Interviews

This lets readers and viewers express themselves and what they feel about the content through liking, commenting and sharing. Social Media also helps businesses to interact with consumers personally, understand them clearly and best understand their likes and dislikes and accordingly provide the best service to them and eventually make them a loyal customer for their business.

4. Why you should be focusing on Customer Retention?

As much as you focus on acquiring new clients, you also need to put the same efforts into retaining the existing customers. Always be available for customers to help and resolve all their queries post product or service purchase. It is also more profitable to sell a new product or additional services to the same customer than to a new one.

The process of retaining can be achieved through rewarding individuals with the best discount offers on the new product, additional benefits like 1-year free service on products or services they purchase, creating combo offers and so on, depending on your business.

Existing customers are already aware of your brand, products and services you provide, and hence, it won’t take much time and effort to draw their attention to buy your newly launched products or services. In contrast, it is difficult with new customers as you have put in a lot of time and effort to build their trust towards you to draw their attention to take any necessary action about your business.

5. Analyze your competitor's marketing strategy

Competitive analysis is a kind of activity that involves understanding your competitor's marketing strategy to know what’s best working for them and what is not, what trouble a competitor could get you into and what opportunities are out there for you to enhance your marketing strategy which can increase brand awareness, grow your business, your customer base and eventually generate the best revenue out of it.

Take Away.

As the marketing world is evolving and emerging rapidly, it’s very much necessary and essential to constantly assess and review your B2B marketing strategies, find out the loopholes and try to improvise it accordingly.

Marketing is all about telling stories; hence, businesses should learn the art of telling stories and consistently creating interesting content for consumers.

Content could be in the form of audio, video, Infographics, images, blog posts, slogans, etc..!!Always keep observing what grabs the attention of the customers because, at last, a good customer experience lasts longer than the data you have.
