The New Requirements for Building a Modern B2B Customer ExperienceAcquia
People are picky. They are hard to please. They can be indifferent to your brand. It's your job to make sure they aren't.
To compete, all marketers know they need to deliver the right content, at the right time, on the right channel. But unifying data across sources and delivering personalized experiences across multiple channels is far easier said than done. Meanwhile, the marketers that do manage to collect actionable data for personlization run the risk of scaring away prospects when “personalized” misses the mark, or worse, turns into “creepy.”
Join our webinar on Wednesday, 8/28 @ 10:00AM ET to hear how Acquia, Mautic & Sirius Decisions define personalization and detail what it takes to successfully execute campaigns that actually deliver business results.
In this webinar, we'll cover:
-The essential elements of B2B personalization
-Best practices for building programs that map to the buyer's journey
-Why a strong digital foundation is critical for scaling customized experiences with prospects and customers
-How you can leverage technology to meet your personalization and multichannel marketing demands
How to Use Trust to Exorcise Your Checkout GhostsTrustpilot
In this webinar, Trustpilot's Director of Marketing, Jordan Garner, and Hawke Media's Head of Marketing, Chris Ayan, will discuss how ensure your website and email marketing campaigns convey trust in order to increase the rate of conversion.

-add social proof, like third party verified reviews specific to the product displayed, to relieve any feelings of doubt; and
-use email marketing campaigns that utilize trust signals - whether promotion or any other kind - as a further method of establishing credibility

substance beyond the initial spark that makes viral content unique; thus, it has a fairly
short shelf life.
The main goal with viral content is to get your consumer to click the social share buttons
and build awareness of you, your product or your company.
44. Discussion: Content that is designed
to spark a conversation within a
community.
unlike viral, its shelf life is much
longer.
The content can play on the same
extremes as viral, but it's more
thought-provoking.

content is to get its consumer to
leave comments and to interact
with other readers.
45. Lead: Content that is designed to draw people into some sort of opt-in. This content
exposes a gap in the consumer's knowledge and hints at a promise of closing that gap if
the user enters his email address or fills out a lead form.
Conversion : Content similar to lead content, but with one important difference. This
content convinces consumer into making a decision to alleviate whatever problem they
need help with

64. Experiment – The Lean Way
To Win – Set Metrics >> Build Hypothesis >> Experiment >> Action
Step 1 – Pick what key metrics you want to improve
Step 2 – Form assumptions by
1. With existing data
2. Without Data
Step 3 – Create an experiment
Who is your audience?
What do you want them to do?
Why should they do it?
Step 4 – Measure
65. Experiment – Results
If
1. Success >> Next Metric to improve
2. Failed spectacularly - revisit hypothesis. It’s time to identify a new who, what, and why,
based on what we’ve learned.
3. Marginal success - but not close enough, try another experiment. The hypothesis might still
be valid, and we can try again, adjusting based on what we’ve learned.
