Digital Marketing – Why Now?

With the economic downturn and ongoing issues with the supply chain, why should companies be investing in digital marketing?

  • Lower competition
  • More selective buyers
  • Recessions don’t last forever
  • You won’t find growth without it
  • Maintain or even accelerate what is working, cut costs on what isn’t

The B2B Funnel

  • Awareness – impressions, opens, followers
  • Conversion – leads (soft, direct signups)
  • Interest – clicks, traffic
  • Close – SQL opportunities

Start at the Bottom

Low investment, high impact

Look at your sales team and their challenges in closing deals to increase the number of qualified leads into won opportunities.

  • Look at Your House List: Your house list includes your existing contacts -whether they opted into your newsletter, downloaded something, was a lead that wasn’t ready to buy, etc.
  • Assess Top Performing Pages: Is the content still relevant to your business and your ideal customers? How is that traffic being leveraged? Opportunity to become a lead?

Move to the Middle

Assess Traffic & UX

Before throwing money into new pages, content, etc., take stock of your current performance, what’s working well, and where you’re losing traffic.

  • Leverage site search
  • Invest in heat maps
  • Keyword relevance

Take it to the Top

~40% of the marketing budget

The more awareness your brand can get, the more users that will seek you out later and move down the pipeline.

  • Brand Awareness
  • New Content Opportunities
