A strategic B2B marketing approach builds a relationship with the customer by providing valuable, relevant and consistent content. While media relations are a tried and true component of most successful marketing strategies, it doesn’t work on its own. Converting target audiences into fans and fans into loyal customers requires a deeper level of consideration with the audience.
Over time, the relationship with the customer begins to deepen and it is essential to ensure to honor their time by using social media, website and media exposure to explain the way your company can help solve your customer’s problem, and not simply sell services.
Marketers must work hard to create informative and engaging content so that it is not easily forgotten. It is critical to balance between quantity and quality. Content can be churned out 24 hours per day, but it has to be valuable to the target audience. Marketing to businesses doesn’t have to be complicated. View the ideal customer as a new friend. Making great first impressions, getting to know them and then doing what is required to value and meet their needs. This ensures that there are not just friends for the brand, but also customers for life.
