Tweet B2B social media is one of the most nettlesome of all social media marketing topics. There are plenty of half-truths and misunderstandings about what, where, why, and how B2B social media works (or doesn’t).

They figure if they’re on Facebook they’re experts. Your consultant should blog, tweet, and participate on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube, maybe even Instagram and Pinterest as well. For example, when marketers were asked to choose their top platform for social media, 49% chose Facebook and only 16% chose LinkedIn.

Most CEOs of manufacturing, engineering and technical companies do not believe in the value of brand building and consider it the domain of consumer marketing (B2C). That’s a shame and here’s why — among the top ten in Interbrand’s Best Global Brands 2009 , IBM was listed at #2, Microsoft, GE and Intel at number 3, 4 and 9 respectively.

Yes, social media applies to B2B. In fact, social media can be MORE transformative for a B2B company than a B2C company. This is because B2B has a smaller potential customer base, a higher average price point, and a customer decision funnel that is more influenced by word of mouth and reputation.

With social media, we can join conversations previously hidden, but what we need is the same as ever: a way to reach you – the places you metaphorically live, the clubs you frequent, the places you hang out, the company you keep. That seems short-sighted and workable only for very small companies with a minimum of online chatter about them.
