These days, one of the most essential ingredients in any marketing campaign that you’re running is specificity. People want to feel like you’re speaking to them and only them, and this is especially true when you’re talking about B2B leads.
Indeed, that personalization is one of the major assets you’ll rely on when it comes to developing a successful B2B marketing campaign of your own. In truth, it’s a lot more straightforward than you might first think – you just have to remember a few key tips.
It’s All About Knowing Your Audience
Yes, it’s true that B2B customers and B2C customers are different in a wide range of different ways. B2B and B2C marketing, on the other hand, are a lot more similar than people realize. Targeted mailing and marketing analytics are still the keys to your success in both realms, and if you want to be able to leverage the full power of these 21st century techniques to your advantage you need to know as much about your audience as possible.
Simply put, if you want to guarantee that your direct mail is effective, you need to identify which B2B customers you should be reaching out to and why. First, dive deep into your mailing lists and separate them into smaller lists based on types of businesses. Once you know that, you’re in a better position to zero in on their particular pain points – and how you and you alone can address them.
At that point, B2B direct mail marketing is a lot like B2C marketing in that it’s all about getting the right message in front of the right person at exactly the right time. Don’t just send postcard mailers to a business – find the person with decision making power at that business and craft the perfect collateral that speaks to their needs and expectations. Spend time creating a compelling offer and a call to action that will capture your B2B lead’s attention in a way they won’t be able to look away from. Make your offer incredibly easy to respond to as remember, these are busy people just like yourself.
Provided that you follow this simple framework, you’ll have something of a perfect storm on your hands. Not only will you have developed a successful B2B marketing campaign, but you’ll truly have more B2B leads than you know what to do with.
