Characteristics of B2B Digital Marketing

The audience is vertical and niche.

The target audience is mostly company procurement decision-makers, very vertical and accurate, and the coverage cannot be scaled up in a large volume.

The high time cost for the audience makes it difficult to provide high-density valuable content services, resulting in less audience attention and interaction.

Slow operational effectiveness

This also leads to a lack of a strong sense of achievement in many B2B operations.

Clarify the operational objectives

Before operation, determine the appropriate B2B operation goals with the company, focusing on providing value-added services for existing customers?
Increase customer repurchase rates? Or acquire new sales leads and develop new customers?
Do not use the standards of C-end operation to require B-end operation, such as the number of page views of 100,000+, the amount of private domain traffic, etc.
