WHY B2B Marketing? A specialised approach for business

Transactions in the business vs. consumer environments are two distinct marketing propositions; the difference between B2B and B2C marketing comes down to the nature of the sale: B2C sales are typically faster transactions of lower value. In consumer marketing, emotional triggers such as popularity and ‘status' play a critical role in brand longevity, and B2C marketing specialises in targeting these psychological associations.

B2B sales are more ‘rational' in character, more concerned with a product's potential to increase performance and profitability, and top B2B marketing agencies recognise this rationality vs. emotionality (B2C) divide as crucial in defining their marketing approach. The stakes are higher in business to business sales, which often represent important capital decisions that need to prove returns on investment, made by a larger collective of decision makers and executives.

Business to business marketing strategies need to address this crucial difference with specialised brand awareness, lead generation, and customer engagement strategies using appropriate communication channels.

These communications don't just need to speak to a variety of individuals across organisational functions; they need to effectively and accurately target the various stages of the customer journey with tailored messages, nurturing leads from initial interest to sale. Today this is more important than ever: B2B sales are over 20% longer than they were five years ago as potential customers are using the Internet to do more research than ever before, and it's important to target decision makers across each step of the customer journey with relevant marketing content.

CubicICE has specialised in southern Africa's business to business marketing sector for over 30 years. In this time, we've demonstrated a consistent ability to generate high-quality business leads that have secured our clients hundreds of millions of Rands worth of new business projects through effective, dynamic communication channels between buyer and seller.

 
 
 

B2B MARKETING STRATEGIES FOR INBOUND LEAD GENERATION

Need a marketing strategy that can draw on a wide range of proven communication techniques to increase leads in the B2B marketplace? We've helped small and large, local and international businesses improve their market share through tailored strategies that engage key audiences and improve brand credibility with prospective buyers.

There's no ‘one-size-fits-all' business to business marketing strategy that can claim to deliver universal success across all industries and market requirements. Instead, a marketing strategy will only be successful if it correctly grasps your organisation's unique business goals as well as the requirements of your customer base, and has a fluid approach that can be continually updated and revised based on market and business conditions.

CubicICE offers a holistic approach to marketing strategies for the business to business market based on the SOSTAC® marketing model, from research through to performance monitoring:

  • We'll help develop and refine your company's primary value propositions to communicate your brand priorities and specialisations in a set of key messages that target your customers in effective, relevant ways.

  • We'll do full competitive analysis and market research to understand what marketing channels are being used in your industry, and how and why they are successful or not. This is a critical part of ensuring your marketing efforts have maximum impact with pride-of-place campaigns.

  • Digital marketing is one of the most critical channels for B2B companies to invest in: over 90% of business purchases begin with an Internet search, so you want your business to be seen online in the right place at the right time. The trick is not to silo your digital marketing activities - such as websites, SEO, social media, mailers, online advertising, and so on - but have them working together for your brand through a larger strategic approach and integrated marketing campaign.

  • Another crucial aspect of the business to business marketing strategy is in planning conversion goals. Every item of marketing content should have a conversion goal: the ability of that content to produce some kind of customer action, whether it's a visit to an online catalogue; the submission of an enquiry; or an online purchase.

  • Measurement and analytics enables us to gain constant intelligence on your business to business marketing strategies, identify critical strategic gaps in the marketing mix and accurately demonstrate your return on investments.

B2B marketing strategies require a dedicated, skilful and experienced partner that understands how marketing should be used within today's business sales environments. CubicICE specialises in business to business marketing strategies, with broad industry experience in marketing campaigns that focus on enhancing bottom line business results.
