  • Business-to-Business: The Sweet Spot for Social Marketing

    Conventional wisdom says that social marketing isn’t appropriate for business customers. Conventional wisdom is wrong. B2B companies were some of the first settlers of the blogosphere and many of the best features of social media channels lend themselves perfectly to the unique nature of B2B interactions. The emerging B2B marketing paradigm is based upon listening, conversation and community. Social media are the best tools for this kind of engagement that have ever been invented.

    B2B companies are already using tools like blogs, podcasts, Twitter, video and communities to generate leads, increase sales to existing customers, enable word-of-mouth marketing and even co-create products. This presentation shows how they’re doing it, with examples from real B2B innovators that are succeeding today by redefining the buyer-seller relationship.

    B2B social marketing initiatives don't get the publicity of flashier consumer campaigns, but they were delivering hard-dollar results long before consumer marketers caught the bug. Learn how you can join the revolution.
