Welcome to the B2C Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends: Insights for 2022 report. This report looks back on the last 12 months and includes expectations for 2022.
Our research suggested that, due to work-from-home requirements, content marketing piqued the interest of many who were previously unaware of its power. With more people than ever spending time online, content marketing presented a prime opportunity for businesses to get and stay in front of audiences. Some B2C marketers discovered new audiences altogether.
Short articles and videos were big over the last 12 months with the B2C marketers we surveyed. In addition, expect a lot of B2C investment in video in 2022: 72% forecast investment in this area. Paid media came in a distant second.
Although most B2C marketers reported success with content marketing in the last 12 months, there are still challenges. Respondents said their top two content marketing challenges were creating content that appeals to multi-level roles within the target audience (42%) and internal communication between teams/silos (41%).
If B2C marketers can overcome these challenges, they’ll improve their odds of achieving greater content marketing success in 2022.

As in the previous year, nearly one in three enterprise marketers said their organization was extremely or very successful with content marketing. These marketers, our “top performers,” have certain characteristics that set them apart from their peers (see page 4). A few of the biggest things they do are to differentiate their content and use content collaboration/calendaring/workflow tools.
No matter how successful they are at content marketing, most respondents plan to invest in video in 2022: 72% of all enterprise respondents forecast investment in this area followed by investment in events (62%), paid media (59%), and owned-media assets (55%).
And, yes, challenges remain. The top challenge, which is the same as it was two years ago, is internal communication between teams/silos (57%). It indicates a pressing need to formalize content operations in enterprises that have not yet done so.

What is Smart Campaign and How it Works?
Whether you’re new to paid advertising or a pay-per-click (PPC) veteran, Google Smart Campaigns can be your best friend. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence technology at the heart of Google Ads make PPC advertising an entirely different beast — one that may be easier to tame in 2020.
Google Smart Campaigns are a powerful tool in the PPC manager’s toolkit. When used carefully, they can save time, money, and a lot of frustration. They do require a lot of data, and a keen eye to monitor their performance. Still, Smart Campaigns offer a lot of promising opportunities, making them worth a try, no matter how much experience you have in PPC advertising.

What is Smart Campaign and How it Works?
Whether you’re new to paid advertising or a pay-per-click (PPC) veteran, Google Smart Campaigns can be your best friend. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence technology at the heart of Google Ads make PPC advertising an entirely different beast — one that may be easier to tame in 2020.

factors are innovative strength and pace of innovation. The division generated about one third of its
sales in 2015 with products that have been on the market for less than two years.[2]

procurement officers who buy the tools. The secondary customers include end users who search online

5. Grainger.com
About Grainger
Grainger has a distinctive US business model with two differentiated online channels.One is
Grainger.com, mainly addressing customers in large, complex- and medium-sized organizations. The
other is Zoro.com, a niche website targeting smaller, less complex businesses and do-it-yourselfers.
Since Grainger’s Canadian and Mexican clients typically utilize country-specific versions of these two
websites, this discussion concentrates exclusively on these US-focused websites and the goal of the
Capstone Project: increasing Grainger.com sales by 10%.[3]
Grainger’s Customer Base
As noted earlier, Grainger’s best customers (80%) are large, complex organizations. Demand for power
tools has also witnessed a surge among professionals, owing to resurgence in the housing market. The
global volume of construction is expected to grow by 70% and reach US$ 15 trillion by 2025. The U.S.,
China, and India are expected to witness robust construction activity, owing to which demand for power
tools is expected to increase in the future.

Potential biases and how to avoid them?
When collecting and analysing data, there is always possibility of danger of bias. Different kinds of
categorizations of bias are made. There’s one framework from Jayson DeMers, who presents five
different biases to avoid in market research:
“1. Confirmation Bias: This type of bias is a tendency to interpret information based on a previous
assumption, rather than letting the data speak for itself. 2. Irrational Escalation: This cognitive bias is
the tendency to dismiss or ignore new research evidence if it happens to override or undermine a
decision that has already been made. You need to be open to the idea of cutting your losses. 3. Social
Desirability Bias: Social desirability bias leads people to make more socially acceptable decisions when
in the presence of a researcher than they would if left alone. 4. Framing: The theory behind the framing
effect states that similar information will yield different conclusions if it is presented in a different way. 5.
Knowledge Bias: The bias states that people sometimes prefer familiar options over options that are
objectively better.”
And how to avoid such biases? To try to be out of any pre-assumptions, and observe the data as
objectively it is possible. Sometimes, when company has already invested a lot of resources and
completing a research, which shows totally different, what was expected, it is good to start again
(without pre-assumptions). Depending on whether the data is collected by person or by “machine”, it
can lead to various results. People tend to want to please the interviewer more, when data is collected
face-to-face than when they can conduct the questionnaire by themselves alone. Human being is
mainly social and wants to create pleasant atmosphere. It is good to consider, when conducting for
instance by phone, when by e-mail, when “pop-up questionnaire”. To avoid framing it is crucial to think
the order of the words in questions, but also the order of questions itself.
Usually questionnaires include so called “checking” questions, basicly the same or similar question in
some frequency to test, whether the respondent is consistent in replies. Especially building brand
awareness and performing for instance the brand inquiry for certain sampling group it is important to
remember that people tend to respond, if they are familiar with the brand. It is rationale to have different
focus groups to perform data collection. For instance first-time visitors on Grainger.com, current
customers, passive customers (have bought something in ages) and also a group, who are prospects,
not visited Grainger.com yet. Comparing the results can help to understand the power of the Grainger
brand more than just conducting the inquiry only non-visitors or current customers
Channel Strategy
Audience category 1 - Users landing on Grainger.com directly
12. For someone visiting the website for the first time, Grainger could make use of a pop up display advert
that, after browsing the site for a period which indicates an interest in the product, the pop up display
ad can then offer the option to sign up to the newsletter to keep abreast of any special offers that
Grainger are offering on products.
As mentioned in the course lecture video on “Optimising your plan” presented by Rhiannon Clifton,
statistics show that only 2% of first time visitors will purchase on their first visit to site. Grainger can
therefore use Retargeting (using display ads to create cookies on website, following customer around
to other websites and reminding them of the product they viewed previously) in order to draw the
customer back to the website and convert the other 98% of first time visitors into purchases.
Email campaigns to new customers will act as promotional email campaigns as you are trying to
entice the customer to return to the website to purchase (i.e converting the customer). Therefore, those
customers opting into the newsletter offer from the pop up display ad, will be targeted with promotional
email campaigns Vertical banner display ads can be used to target existing customers. Through the
use of analytics, Grainger can pick up and determine customer preferences and target these customers
with specific products based on their preferences.
[5]
As shown in above figure, Facebook is the top source of display ads. As there is a greater than 50%
chance that a person who likes a Facebook photo of a product will buy that product, Facebook should
be a major source of display ad spend and the display ad should include an image. Images should also
be part of the display ads that will be targeted to readers of Answers.com pages of interest to primary
or secondary customers.
Display Ads - To Increase Consideration And Invite Potential Customers To Join the Email
Customer Registry
After receiving display ads on Facebook and Answers.com, Scenario 1 customers
will be provided with a display ad inviting them to join the Email Customer Registry.
13. This display ad will also be made available to customers who follow Scenario 2 (Bosch
Power Tools Page on Boschtools.com and Grainger.com) and/or Scenario 3 (Bosch
Power Tools and Grainger Plumbing Page). The display ad will highlight that Grainger is
a distributor of both corded and cordless Bosch Power Tools. It will also promise those
who register information on future Grainger promotional offers on Bosch products and
Accessories.
Emails To Procurement Officers To Influence Consideration
Should an internet user respond to the invitation in the display ad and join the Registry,
Grainger will send follow-up emails individually targeted primary or secondary customers
touting one of Grainger’s major advantages relative to its competitors. Procurement officers
will receive an email highlighting the point of difference that Grainger has a competitive
advantage with its ePro electronic procurement system with the option of joining KeepStock.
.
Email/Customer Survey To Procurement Officers To Reposition The Brand
An email will be sent with a customer survey requesting that the drivers of their past
purchases be quantified. The email to procurement officers will emphasize Grainger’s
professional distribution of professional, well-engineered, high-quality, durable Bosch Power
Tools products and accessories. Another attribute that will be tested is whether procurement
officers pick Grainger because of its eProcurement and KeepStock systems. If there is another attribute
that is appealing, it will emerge from the survey responses as to what they liked and
what they want to see changed before shopping Grainger.com again.
Recommendations for the content and tone of the message and visuals to be
used for the campaign
Scenario 1 - Audiences that visit Boschtools.com, look at a power tool (for example a drill), but do not
visit Grainger.com
The content and tone of the mail campaign to new customers should be personalised (i.e Dear and the
customer’s name, not just Dear Customer). As it is their first touch point with the company, the tone
needs to be professional and welcoming.
Secondly, the customer needs to receive a welcome message from Bosch tools for signing up to the
newsletter and possibly encouraging the customer to set up personal preferences (this will allow you to
determine the type of product promotions to send them for future mail campaigns – i.e customer
preferences).
A email from the CEO of Grainger will be more impactful along with a coupon.
14. Offering discounts to Customers who have visited the website and added the product to cart
15. Test and Control Plan
1. List three research objectives. Conducting some research will help us verify and improve the
campaign performance.
There are three main research objectives:
• What Research is Necessary?
• What Analytical Tools Will Be Used?
• How Can Impacts On User Experience Be Avoided?
First SMART Research Objective: In 2016, before the display and email campaigns are launched, we
need to determine the number of Bosch Power Tools Page Viewers in Scenarios 1, 2 and 3 who
become new and repeat customers. For each Scenario, Grainger should use Analytics to determine
total sales. If the activity cannot be tracked until December 2016, then it should be measured for the
first six months of 2017 and multiplied by two to obtain the annual estimate.
Second SMART Research Objective: In 2017, increase the number of customers who are aware that
Grainger sells Bosch Power Tools, and convert a percentage into new sales. Grainger should increase
awareness by 38.73 percent, and generate a 2.5% increase.
Display ads and emails will invite internet users who click Boschtools.com to possibly make a purchase
on Grainger.com. The email touting Grainger’s advantages relies on an essential digital marketing
strategy: activate consumers to market on your behalf. The social media commentary that is the basis
of the storyline in the follow-up email presents favorable customer testimonials on behalf of each
customer segment.
What analytical tools will be used to measure whether this SMART Research Objective has been
achieved?
• For the display ads on Facebook and Answers.com, Grainger should use the Google Analytics tool to
monitor customer traffic. For each IP address, register clicks on the display ads on Facebook and
Answers.com and subsequent purchase activities (abandoned shopping carts and purchases on ePro).
For the past three months, Grainger’s display ad traffic is .42, and the goal of .35 appears achievable.
• The display ad with the invitation to join the Email Registry will be received by those who click on the
Bosch Power Tools Page. This group of internet users enjoyed the highest CTR rate and should easily
reach the .35 benchmark for display ad traffic on Grainger.com.
• Grainger should also use Google Analytics to measure the effectiveness of the follow-up email to the
registrant touting Grainger’s advantages in generating new sales. The CTO rates were benchmarked at
19.19%.
• Grainger will determine the conversion rates in 2017 for display ads and the registry-related emails.
As shown in the benchmarks presented in Module 3, Task 3, email campaigns
($28.50) are slightly more effective than display ads ($34.425).
16. Third SMART Research Objective: Grainger should try to generate a 7.5% increase in customers and
500 new social media ambassadors from the final three email content marketing strategies—Improving
the Sales Processes, Repositioning the Brand and Grow Loyalty. Percentages will be different for the
emails providing necessary details on how to order in ePro (4% new and repeat customers),
repositioning the brand (1.75% new and repeat customers), and inviting customers to become a social
media
ambassador (1.75% new and repeat customers, 500 social media ambassadors).
To achieve the Third SMART Research Objective, both Google Analytics and Google Customer Survey
tools will be used.
• The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to be measured for each of these three emails are CTO,
Abandoned Shopping Cart and Sales Conversion.
• Google Customer Survey responses will be reviewed for the reasons driving past customer
purchases. Was it the prevailing point of difference (for procurement officers, the website/ePro
difference and end users, “Everyday Heroes”) or another reason.
• Determine whether a total of 500 procurement officers and end users became social media
ambassadors and review other quantitative data generated from the Google Customer Surveys
for planning future marketing strategy.
• Focus on how many procurement officers and end users were delighted with the old marketing
strategy or the new marketing strategy represented by the video.
User experience will be improved through the application of best practices. All clickable links will be
highlighted in blue and take the email recipient to the appropriate website or customer survey.
Subject lines in emails will contain mentions of keywords known to increase CTO rates—such as
“video.”
Rather than a video link, video thumbnail of the YouTube content will be included in the body of the
email.
