Editor's Notes
- #3Â Thanks for coming. Today weâre going to be exploring how demand gen marketers can use the LinkedIn Marketing Solutions portfolio to drive more leads, opportunities, and ultimately revenue.
- #4Â But before we get started, a few housekeeping items. Please do submit any questions you may have in the Q&A box, and weâll save some time at the end to address them. You can join the conversation on Twitter using #LinkedInDemandGen, and follow us as well.
- #5Â So what are we going to be talking about today? The topic of demand gen is a big one, but for todayâs webinar, our goal is to focus on how you can use LinkedIn to support your demand generation objectives. A discussion of the buyerâs journey is key, here, specifically how itâs unpredictability requires todayâs marketers to be ready whenever and wherever their prospects are ready to engage. And after we identify where the key gaps are in how we marketers approach the buyerâs journey, weâll show you can take that same journey and turn those gaps into opportunities with specific LinkedIn solutions. And finally, my colleague Amanda who manages LinkedInâs own demand gen efforts will walk us through some sample campaigns, and let us in on her own secrets to using LinkedIn for demand gen.
- #6Â Todayâs buyerâs journey is at its very coreâunpredictable. There are often multiple people involved in the buying decision. And those people are using multiple devices to consume information, and at different parts of the day, inside the office and frequently outside of office hours. All of this complicates the buyerâs journey, and marketingâs role in it.
- #7Â As a marketer, itâs becoming harder and harder to influence purchase decisions. People are making it through 90% of the buyerâs journey before they reach out directly. Todayâs empowered consumers have multiple tools in hand to find information about products, compare prices, get social recommendations and so on. And content is playing a huge role in the decision journey, making it easier for people to go through 90% of the journey. On average, people are consuming 10 of those pieces of content before making a purchase.
- #8Â As a marketer, itâs becoming harder and harder to influence purchase decisions. People are making it through 90% of the buyerâs journey before they reach out directly. Todayâs empowered consumers have multiple tools in hand to find information about products, compare prices, get social recommendations and so on. And content is playing a huge role in the decision journey, making it easier for people to go through 90% of the journey. On average, people are consuming 10 of those pieces of content before making a purchase.
- #9Â As a marketer, itâs becoming harder and harder to influence purchase decisions. People are making it through 90% of the buyerâs journey before they reach out directly. Todayâs empowered consumers have multiple tools in hand to find information about products, compare prices, get social recommendations and so on. And content is playing a huge role in the decision journey, making it easier for people to go through 90% of the journey. On average, people are consuming 10 of those pieces of content before making a purchase.
- #10Â So with all this in mind, what are we as demand gen marketers currently using to help educate and engage with prospects during their buyerâs journeys? Demand generation strategies have evolved tremendously, even in just the past few years, so we have a lot of tools at our disposal. Display advertising has done much to help build our brands, as has our presence on social media. Content marketing continues to play a massive role throughout the marketing funnel, from brand-building and thought leadership to driving leads. And finally, we canât forget our âtried and trueâ channels of email and search, which continue to be marketing workhorses for us.
- #11Â But there are still challenges with our current marketing mix. Â First, itâs actually quite hard to get the right people to your site. And by âright people,â we mean the demographics of the people that really matter to your business. And even if you do manage to do that, only 5% of those will be ready to provide you their contact information. And of those who do, only 20%, on a great day, will open your email messages afterwards. Think of it as a really leaky funnel, which is essentially making you get only 1% of all opportunities.
- #12Â This is all to say that we may be doing a decent job at demand gen now, but we can still do better.
- #13Â Letâs go back to the real-world buyerâs journey we looked at earlier. And this time, letâs dig deeper into the opportunities weâre missing. No less than 17 people stat: http://www.insurancetech.com/is-the-cio-losing-control-of-tech-decision-making/d/d-id/1315218? 44% stat â â2014 State of B2B Procurement Study: Uncovering the Shifting Landscape in B2B Commerce,â Acquity Group, LLC Half of business decisions made outside of the office - http://www.b2bmarketing.net/news/archive/research-news-half-business-decisions-are-made-outside-office
- #14Â So how can we drive more effective demand generation marketing? We do this by taking into account the entire marketing funnel, not just the bottom. By first looking at top-funnel objectives including 1) increasing awareness 2) building our brands and 3) shaping perceptions, we in turn can drive more of the right people into the bottom of the funnel, where we can then start to focus on nurturing to drive more conversions, improve the quality of the leads weâre getting, and ultimately driving pipeline and revenue.
- #16Â And this is where LinkedIn Marketing Solutions comes into play, by giving you the ability to reach impact your prospects anywhere along the buying process. We are in a unique position to help you a) generate awareness and reach more of the right people to send to your marketing channels b) nurture those audiences by delivering the most appropriate content depending on where they are in their purchase cycle.
- #18Â Letâs see how we can use LinkedIn to start to rethink demand generation as we know it. Â First letâs start with letting go of the bottom funnel for a bit, and focusing on how reaching more of the right people at the top of the funnel can really set our demand gen efforts up for success. Â Next, letâs talk about that 95% of website visitors who arenât converting on your website. LinkedIn can help you tap into the value of your anonymous website visitors. Â Third, we all know the importance of being relevant in the way we communicate with our prospects. LinkedIn can help you customize your messages based on who people are and what their interests are. Â And finally, letâs take a look at how LinkedIn can help you conquer the unpredictability of the buying process that we looked at earlier by helping you reach prospects when theyâre most engaged, regardless of device.
- #19Â Demand gen marketers need to start embracing the top of the funnel. Email and search are reliable channels and will always have value, but if you just rely solely on these traditional âbottom funnelâ channels, youâre going to encounter challenges when it comes to reaching more of that right audience youâre looking for.
- #20Â Target LinkedIn members with accuracy on and off LinkedIn to drive brand objectives from awareness to new visitors Engage your audience in a high quality professional context with LinkedIn Onsite Display. Or, leverage LinkedIn Network Display to reach a broader professional audience with scale and frequency on more than 2,500 high-quality publisher sites. Deploy a variety of formats from IAB standard formats to highly engaging native ads such as Spotlight Ads and Follow Company Ads
- #21 Marketing/training notes: Product: Network Display MyCase, an AppFolio company, is a web-based practice management software solution for lawyers. Built as a complete legal practice management software, MyCase offers features that seamlessly cover all the daily functions that a modern law ďŹrm requires, including contact and case management, calendaring, secure client communication, time tracking, and billing. Because MyCase offers legal practice management in the cloud, lawyers can work from anywhere at any time signiďŹcantly increasing productivity. âWhen we ďŹrst started working with LinkedIn, we were still building our brand,â explains Sarah Bottorff, director of marketing at MyCase. âWe had just started out in a super competitive space and needed to quickly reach our target market. Because our software is cloud based, a strong online presence was important for us to reach the right audience and ďŹnding the right platforms was key to enabling that kind of precise targeting.â In addition to raising brand awareness, Borttoff also sought to drive targeted trafďŹc to the MyCase website.
- #22Â Next, letâs focus on all of those anonymous website visitors who arenât converting when they come to your site. If you think about it, itâs not unreasonable for someone not to want to fill out a form right away â B2B and high-consideration B2C purchase decisions are generally long and complex. Historically, demand gen marketers would sit back and hope that people would come back to their site and eventually convert, but with LinkedIn, this no longer has to be the case.
- #23Â Lead Accelerator enables you to keep your brand in front of these anonymous prospects wherever they go online with relevant display and social ads. But this goes beyond typical retargeting â think of Lead Accelerator as the equivalent of marketing automation, but for display and social ads. You can keep your brand in front of the right prospects in a very relevant way, based on1) who they are, using LinkedIn data and 2) the pages they visit on your site. Whether a prospect is on LinkedIn, Facebook, or browsing across the Web, you can deliver your sequenced messages, synchronized across every channel â to create a consistent experience for your prospect as they progress through the buyers journey.
- #25Â We all know the importance of relevant content. But to what extent have we been able to do this to both the prospects we know and have in our database AND all of the anonymous website visitors?
- #26Â Again, this is where Lead Accelerator really shines. Suppose you have two different audiences visiting your site: One audience visits your home page, and bounces The other audience dives deeper into the product section of your site BOTH of those audiences are valuable â they have both raised their hand and indicated that theyâre interested in what you have to say SO, you want to nurture both of those audiences BUT, you want to nurture them differently For the Home Page Bouncers: You probably want a relatively short nurture stream that focuses on higher level messaging and overall brand positioning. For the Product Page Visitors: You want to nurture them more aggressively with a longer nurture stream that tells your story the way you want to tell it. You wan to leas the prospect through a series of messaging and content that ultimately drives directly to a conversion event
- #27Â Marketing/training notes: Product: Multi-Channel Nurturing AtTask appreciates our technology, but ultimately it just wants high quality leads and lots of them. Its use of Multi-Channel Nurturing is textbook: it uses both website navigation and business demographic data to segment and nurture its anonymous website visitors. This has led it to drop other retargeting vendors who just werenât hitting CPL goals, and this has been a huge lead generation engine for the company. Text (highlights) of the case study: AtTask is a cloud-based Enterprise Work Management solution that helps marketing, IT, and other enterprise teams conquer the chaos of excessive email, redundant status meetings, and disconnected tools. Unlike other tools, AtTask is a centralized, easy-to-adopt solution for managing and collaborating on all types of work through the entire work lifecycle, which improves team productivity and executive visibility. On average more than 96 percent of the visitors to AtTaskâs website leave without convertingâa challenge shared by most B2B marketers with savvy products and long sales cycles. Micah Beals, Director of Digital Marketing at AtTask saw this as a huge opportunity. âIn B2B you canât expect most of your anonymous visitors to convert on their first visit to the website,â he explained. âTo combat this weâve tested website retargeting with various vendors in the past, but theyâve always missed our cost per lead targets.â Segmentation and nurturing AtTask began using Lead Accelerator, which provided a retargeting-like solution but was more catered to AtTaskâs B2B sales cycles and enabled it to better speak to the unique needs and interests of different website visitors. Using website navigation, anonymous visitorsâ business demographic data and more, AtTask developed a variety of nurture paths that were customized for different audience segments. For example after visiting (then leaving) the solutions page on AtTaskâs website, IT professionals would see sequenced waves of display and social ads over a several week period that were very specific to IT and related to its solutions, while other (non-IT) visitors would see different sets of ad creative and calls to action.
- #28Â Finally, we can rethink demand generation by rethinking engagement. As we saw earlier, this goes back to the unpredictability of the buyerâs journey â because buyers are in control, marketers need to engage them with great content that is presented to them when theyâre most receptive to receiving this content.
- #29Â LinkedIn Sponsored Updates letâs you do this directly in the worldâs only professional feed â get your content in front of 364M professionals as theyâre consuming content in the LinkedIn feed on desktop, tablet and smartphone. Youâre essentially capturing peopleâs attention when theyâre most engaged â while reviewing information shared in the feed.
- #30Â Similarly, Sponsored InMail is another great way to get people engaged, and a fantastic channel for lead gen. The beauty of Sponsored InMail is that it offers 100% deliverability â your target audience will only receive your messages when they are on LinkedIn, whether thatâs on desktop or mobile.
