How to Make Social Media Work for B2B and B2GMailerMailer
There is a lot of buzz about using social media to grow your business. Does it work for B2B or B2G companies? Yes. Forty years ago, researcher Mark Granovetter proposed a theory about social interaction. He suggested that people close to you know about the same opportunities, projects, people, job openings and events that you do. If you expand your reach beyond your closer circles, you tap into your other connections, which expose you to a whole new set of options. You can leverage social media to make this happen.
This presentation will provide actionable tips on using social media to grow your B2B/B2G business.
Join us and you’ll learn:
· Which social media activities result in the most traction and which are a waste of time
· How to position your company as a trusted source
· How to nurture leads that are not "sales-ready”
· What to share with businesses and government agencies so they think of you as they write their RFPs
The document discusses how B2B marketing is changing and becoming more inbound focused. It notes that today's buyers will find companies on their own when they are ready to purchase. The buyer journey is non-linear and influenced early on by awareness building content. The challenges for companies are to have relevant content to be part of conversations with buyers and influence how buyers define their needs. Content marketing is presented as a solution, but companies need a content strategy and to repurpose existing materials from subject matter experts. Measurement of content effectiveness and distribution channels is also important. An example case study is provided of a company that successfully grew its audience and leads through a video-based content marketing experiment.
Rehashing offline copy or boring marketing collateral for your website just doesn't cut it anymore. Your website, blogs, webinars, video and podcasts, social media, and other online content all offer you tremendous opportunities to connect with your customers and drive business. Sounds great right? It is. But only if you do it well, and create the kind of content that both resonates with your customers and meets your business objectives.
We will share how to truly evaluate how well your company is marketing itself. When it comes down to actually evaluating PR initiatives, organizations aren't exactly sure. Marketing and PR is considered > intangible in terms of its ROI and associating an actual matrix to its value. Companies know that they need it but consider it a gray area when it comes to setting expectations for their in-house team as well as for their public relation agency, if they have one.
Here are just a few of the questions we will consider along with the importance of why we are considering them:
Is your company vision clearly mapped out for today and for future products and/or services as a context for all company communications?
Have you developed your company's key messages for each unique audience and defined competitive differentiators?
Are you utilizing a matrix to measure the overall success in communicating the company's key messages effectively?
Are you getting placements in at least 50% of relevant editorial opportunities? How do you know?
In producing third-party endorsements, customer testimonials, and success studies, how are you marketing them?
Are you actively seeking award opportunities? How many awards have you received so far this year?
Have you conducted a perception study to understand how your key constituents perceive your company?
We will provide a "How To" PR guide and explain the importance of measuring the results. PR performance measurement encompasses a measure of business value, of strategic alignment and of marketing efficiency. It can seem too abstract to fit easily into a concrete measurement like it does for sales but through our 10 plus years of PR experience, we definitely have seen the PR measurement matrix evolve. Our presentation will help organizations get a handle on setting PR expectations as well as how to successfully fulfill those expectations. We are excited to share with the group through our experience, industry research and customer stories on how organizations are able to evaluate what PR investments they should make along with how to measure their outcome and success.

How Prepared Are We for Customer 2.0?
By Juliann Grant, Telesian Technology
Customer 2.0 is calling! We have become so enamored with and caught up in the technology of Web 2.0, our PDA's, gadgets, and widgets that keep us connected and alive 24 hours a day to those around the world, that we forget at the core of it all, it must still be all about the customer.
We must not only use the timeliness and power of social media to broadcast our message to customers, but we need to use it to listen in order to learn what our customers are saying to each other and about us. The web have given customers immediate and almost limitless access to information on companies, products, and people, and realize it or not, we may not even be in the conversation! This is truly moving the "traditional" marketing and sales function towards irrelevance. We must realize that Customer 2.0 is embracing the "buying cycle" on their terms and no longer needs to wait on the "sales cycle".
The typical buyer is savvy, knowledgeable, and smart. Customer 2.0 demands that their web experience be fun, interactive, and social. They value professionalism over glitz. They want substance, not flash. They look to their peers to see what they are buying and want to do the same because they trust their experience. They talk to each other and in real time. Your misstep today is not only tomorrow's news, it is today's news as well.
How do we do this in the Automation and Engineering industry? We’re going to find out through with survey to uncover how well we are engaging with Customer 2.0. Do we speak their language? Are we connecting with them on their terms?
In this presentation, we will show how social media and the power of the web can be used to embrace Customer 2.0 in a meaningful, beneficial dialog that will help drive sales. A combination of case studies, customer interviews, surveys, and real social media encounters will be used to illustrate the power of the "new media" in marketing to Customer 2.0.
