B2B Email Marketing

According to a recent report, summarized in this post on MediaPost’s Email Marketing Daily, email marketing is the fourth most effective tool for generating B2B leads and the second most widely used strategy. The marketers surveyed also noted that content and personalization practices were the email marketing strategies that prove to be the most effective. This post also breaks down the 10 most effective email strategies, from content tailored to each phase of the buying cycle, to using loyalty and rewards programs.

Becoming a Subject Matter Expert  

The experience you have in your industry could be one of your biggest marketing assets. Positioning yourself as a thought leader or subject matter expert can help boost your content marketing strategy and generate new leads. As noted in this post from Gerry Moran, 92 percent of B2B decision makers want to engage with a thought leader. This means the more you make yourself visible, the more chances you’ll create for engaging with potential leads and new customers.

Check out this post and you’ll find Gerry’s list of 15 ways for letting your subject matter expertise shine.
