4 ways B2B marketing is different to consumer marketing

So your cousin has had a lot of success marketing his plumbing business on Facebook. Should you follow suit and invest in some Facebook marketing too? There’s so much advice out there on marketing nobody can take it all in. To make matters worse, most of it is based around consumer and mass marketing. But the fact is, if you’re in business-to-business and trying to reach a specific niche, then a lot of this advice doesn’t apply.

Aligning your marketing with your goals

When you’re starting any marketing campaign, it’s really important to clearly define your goals first. This is the single best way to ensure you get the results you want. One of the most common mistakes we see is people getting it backwards, starting by choosing the platform or the content type. We often hear things like “We need to do facebook video!”, without much thought behind the message or the “why”. When there’s a mis-match between your goals and the marketing platform or action you choose, you are less likely to get the results you want. What are your goals? Instead, start with your purpose. What results do you hope to get? Look ahead to the end of the campaign – what will make it worthwhile for you? Usually it’s going to be an increase in your business, through more sales. So take it back [...]

How to work with Monkey Media to to educate the market

When your solution is unique or complex, it can be a challenge to get acceptance from the industry. It’s not something that can be done overnight, but by a consistent approach to educating the market you can change hearts and minds and create new demand.

It’s also important to let the market know when you have a new product or service available. We can help you educate both your current customers and new prospects about what you offer. B2B buying decisions often involve numerous decision makers, so it’s also important to be able to communicate different but consistent messages with different levels.

Measure, reflect, react: The key to marketing success

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying: You can’t change what you can’t measure. This certainly holds weight in many aspects of marketing, especially in the digital space.

These days, you can access a seemingly endless amount of data related to digital marketing. Technology lets you measure practically anything: number of impressions and clicks, the location of your audience, demographic information. The problem is, measuring alone isn’t enough.
