Challenges often include longer and more complex purchase journeys, higher price points, more people involved in the purchase decision, smaller and more niche target markets, and overall slower growth into the digital landscape. Even with all these differences, there are still numerous similarities and a great deal that B2B businesses can gleen from the successes and failures of B2C companies.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following are seven <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">B2B marketing ideas<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that wholesale brands can learn from B2Cs:<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>1. Treat Data Like Gold<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the best <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">B2B marketing strategies <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is to use data to learn about and connect with your customers.<\/span> Gather on- and off-site data and tap into social data to understand who your customers are, what they are interested in and how your can best reach them at every step along their path to purchase.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially important for B2B companies due to their longer sales cycles. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkwithgoogle.com\/collections\/zero-moment-truth.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google stated<\/a> that a customer needs 10.4 pieces of information before making a purchase decision on a product. And that\u2019s just for a pair of shoes or new lawn mower (and was quoted back in 2011)! Now imagine how many more pieces of information they need when the purchase is several hundred to thousand dollars, and can impact several employees and departments, personal job security and\/or the long-term success of their company. Gathering, organizing and making sense of customer data will help you understand each of the touch points necessary to start and maintain a connection with your customers.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just about the quantitative data. Nearly every B2C site that I\u2019ve visited recently has presented me with survey, asking for feedback on everything from website experience to brand perception and price point to shipping satisfaction. B2B companies will also benefit from this quantitative data.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Create Emotional Connections<\/h2>\n<p>B2B businesses often focus on key features and benefits of their product or services, forgoing any type of emotional connection with their customers. This information is certainly important to have available to customers, and can help at certain stages along their journey, but it shouldn\u2019t be your only messaging.<\/p>\n<p>Take cues from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7DdM-4siaQw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dove\u2019s \u201cChoose Beautiful\u201d<\/a> campaign or Old Spice\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cKhqUOncefY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cDadsong\u201d video<\/a> to learn how using emotionally-charged or humorous messaging can reach your customers and create awareness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11247 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/indaba1.jpg\" alt=\"B2B Ecommerce Business Can Learn from B2C Marketing\" width=\"692\" height=\"334\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Image Source: <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/dovechoosebeautiful.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Dove Choose Beautiful Tumblr<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>3. Make \u201cOmnichannel\u201d Your Marketing Mantra<\/h2>\n<p>The changing way that consumers research products and services, and make purchase decisions (i.e., self-serve sales process that is channel and devices agnostic) means that it\u2019s no longer possible to view each of your marketing channels in isolation.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s your website, brick-and-mortar store, social media channels, paid media or email, they can\u2019t and don\u2019t operate alone. That\u2019s the idea behind this ubiquitous \u201comnichannel\u201d approach\u2013creating a seamless experience for consumers regardless of channel, device or location through segmentation, personalization and marketing automation.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Become Mobile Friendly<\/h2>\n<p>Just a few months ago, <a href=\"http:\/\/searchengineland.com\/its-official-google-says-more-searches-now-on-mobile-than-on-desktop-220369\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google announced<\/a> that mobile search had surpassed desktop. That means if your site isn\u2019t mobile friendly and you\u2019re not optimizing content, email and other digital marketing campaigns for mobile viewing, you\u2019re missing out on a huge opportunity. And it\u2019s not just about awareness and validation\u201365 percent of executives are comfortable making a business purchase from a mobile device, <a href=\"http:\/\/brandongaille.com\/13-b2b-mobile-marketing-statistics-and-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to research<\/a> by Panvista Mobile.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-11248 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/indaba2.jpg\" alt=\"indaba2\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Image Source: <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wishpond.com\/post\/97225536354\/infographic-7-incredible-retargeting-ad-stats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Wishpond<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A responsive site is your best bet as it will cover all the devices and versions out there. Also think about your content and how it\u2019s delivered. If you\u2019re producing white papers or e-books, ensure that they\u2019re short and sweet (that\u2019s five pages or less if you listen to <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.pardot.com\/l\/1\/2013-09-26\/2tjcfk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">70% of B2B buyers<\/a>). And think about how emails will be viewed from a mobile devices\u2013subject lines should be brief, and email content should not require pinching, zooming, scrolling or squinting.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Don\u2019t Hide Your CTAs<\/h2>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s completing a purchase, signing up for a newsletter or filling out an application, B2C brands make it abundantly clear what they want you to do on their sites. Using prominent buttons, easy navigation and concise messaging, there\u2019s no mistaking what your next steps as a customer are.<\/p>\n<p>B2Bs should use specific and clear CTAs that lead the customer to whatever their desired action is, such as filling out a lead gen form, downloading an e-book, or making a purchase.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s one of the easiest to implement, yet most effective, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">B2B marketing ideas<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> out there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>6. Retarget, Retarget, Retarget<\/h2>\n<p>We all know those Amazon ads that trail us everywhere we go on internet, showing the exact product we looked at but didn\u2019t purchase. B2C companies use retargeting extensively because it works! Retargeting has been shown to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comscore.com\/Insights\/Press-Releases\/2010\/9\/comScore-Study-with-ValueClick-Media-Shows-Ad-Retargeting-Generates-Strongest-Lift-Compared-to-Other-Targeting-Strategies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increase branded search by 1,046%<\/a> and make site visitors <a href=\"http:\/\/www.criteo.com\/case-studies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">70% more likely to convert<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>B2B companies should also use retargeting to remain top of mind with potential customers, and bring them back into the purchase funnel. Display networks, AdWords, Facebook and Twitter all offer retargeting options, and the combination of these resources will help capture a broader audience.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Make It Easy to Keep Buying<\/h2>\n<p>Automatic repeat purchases or subscriptions services are a win-win for customers and ecommerce brands alike. Customers get convenience and stress-free service; brands get recurring revenue and continual upsell opportunities. This subscription-based offering is found with numerous B2C companies across numerous verticals, such as Birchbox, Netflix, Graze and of course, Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>Subscription models can work for B2B brands as well, depending on the products or services offered. Let\u2019s say you sell hardware and accessories for large machines used in factories\u2013a monthly subscription offered through your site ensures that those parts which frequently need replaced are always available. And it will also ensure that your business is continuing to generate revenue each month with minimal effort.<\/p>\n<p>B2C ecommerce brands aren\u2019t shy about spending budget or testing new waters in the digital space. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wholesale brands would be wise to learn from and adopt their successful <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">B2B marketing strategies<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to help create more engaging online stores, reach the right audience and drive more sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>About the Author<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ryan Shields is the CEO of Indaba Group (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.indabagroup.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.indabagroup.com<\/a>), an award-winning ecommerce development and digital marketing agency.
