B2B PR Sense

JULY 13, 2018

However, we all know that's not the reality in which we all live. The truth for most B2B companies is: Lack of time and staff are huge obstacles to lead generation. Existing client's budgets change, so the need for new leads is ongoing.

A few months ago, Mark Traphagen wrote a post on Search Engine Land that really stood out to me. The post, “Social media in 2018: Time to grow up or get out” is based on the premise that social media needs to take the next step toward becoming a legitimate channel. A channel with real strategies, without shortcuts, and more importantly, a channel that is responsible for sales and revenue. As I read the article, it got me thinking about where we are with content marketing.

If you pause for a moment, you will realize that digital marketing is quite amazing. Even twenty years ago, marketing options for a small business included a radio or television ad (if you had the money). Fast forward to the present day and every business under the sun has the opportunity to share how it feels with millions of people. While this can be pretty great, the eruption in digital marketing popularity has also brought some speed bumps small business owners have to work around.

It’s difficult to plan and execute a multichannel marketing strategy when you’re running a growing business in a highly competitive market. This is especially challenging if your marketing teams don’t truly understand how CPM (cost per thousand) relates to messaging costs in your org. If those costs aren’t straightforward, or have hidden management and account fees, then measuring variable channel costs by channel is next to impossible.

Maybe it’s easy to believe, but B2B marketing is easier for different types of products. Some make creative or interesting marketing campaigns manageable, while other industries and products are almost impossible to advertise. This can be for a variety of factors: niche, the product itself, or how the products are used. Luckily, for SaaS (software as a service) products, B2B digital marketing has a lot of benefits.
