SOCIAL MEDIA FOR B2B MARKETING

October 25, 2017

Business-to-business (B2B) marketing is undergoing a sea change. Traditional marketing channels like television, the print media, and outdoor advertising no longer deliver the return on investment they once promised - for a simple reason: your customers are spending less than 25% of their time paying attention to these channels. Wondering where all the action is taking place then? Welcome to the world of Social Media. Where conversations, interactions and consumer-generated content get mashed up into a heady mix that's potentially marketing elixir. Remember the days when we heard of new brands and products through either word-of-mouth, press reviews or advertising? Now, take all these, add loads of opportunities for strong customer relationships, and what you have is social media. In fact, over 90% of B2B buyers are already using Social Media tools, often to research and execute purchases.
