B2B Marketing Strategies to Win More Customers
Reading Time: 7 minutes
A common misconception about B2B marketing is that it is emotionless and complex. Although business-to-business sales involve technical services and products, they are as human-to-human as B2C marketing.
So, the best strategies for increasing B2B revenue in 2024 are about building and nurturing relationships with your target market. Below are five of the best B2B marketing strategies for one of the most intense battlefields in marketing.
Use first-party data to connect to your B2B customers
To start us off, here is some cold hard truth: The B2B buyer dislikes the classic marketing techniques. At least 75% of B2B buyers, for instance, expect a rep-free marketing experience. So, stop spamming your B2B buyer’s inboxes. Do not cold call them about the details of your service.
Instead, use first-party data to determine their preferences, pain points, and needs. Crucial sources of first-party data include your customer success, digital marketing platforms, and sales team data.
Use first-party data to generate a full view of your B2B buyer persona. Then, roll out personalized marketing content that addresses their buyer’s pain points in the course of the purchase journey.
Use self-service channels
Now that you have your B2B buyer’s persona, motives, and pain points in mind, use self-service tools to provide a rep-free customer journey. Some self-service channels include chatbots, demos, knowledge bases, user reviews, and free trials.
These tools will introduce your buyers to hyper-personalized marketing content to guide their decision-making. At least 47% of B2B marketers who offer self-service tools meet their marketing goals faster than those who do not.
Make the most of AI
There has never been a better time to be a marketer than in the age of AI. AI can fuel your hyper-personalization strategy and scale it to reach a larger audience.
Generative AI will enhance your targeting by supercharging your creativity and enhancing your first-party data analysis.
AI in B2B lead generation opens doors to intelligent automation. It takes up tasks such as social media scheduling, lead qualification, and email marketing. AI will also analyze your B2B buyers’ customer intent.
AI-driven intent data analysis is a significant B2B marketing strategy since 47% of B2B businesses are beginners in data tracking and analysis. Predictive data analysis will help you deliver personalized marketing experiences.
Adopt value-driven content marketing strategies
A mistake you could make with AI is putting meaningless images or words on a page. At least 65% of B2B buyers rely on content for pre-purchase research. So, your content should be authentic and reflect your brand image and tone.
So, use AI in content creation to generate a meaningful, trustworthy, rep-free customer journey. But, conduct research first. After that, create blogs, social media, webinars, podcasts, and video content that offer insightful guidance and address customers’ questions.
Appreciate your existing customers
Did you know that 54% of B2B marketing leads are customer referrals from happy customers? A satisfied and engaged customer is worth two in the bush, so prioritize your customers via after-sales follow-up.
Provide support, check in on them, and let them know that you appreciate their purchases. Returning buyers have a shorter sales cycle than new prospects, so maintaining a happy customer list is the most effective B2B strategy.
