Why E-mail Marketing Is No Longer Effective as B2B Social Media
Jim further explains how the use of email-filtering tools ensures that most unsolicited emails are no longer opened or read
He then points out that half of the filtering tools make senders think that their target recipients have read their emails. In reality, most emails never make it to receivers’ inboxes.
As Email Open Rates can’t be trusted, email marketing is a less effective strategy when it comes to new lead generation or brand messaging.
B2B Social Media Marketing – Has Gained Popularity
Many individuals and companies continue to embrace and feel more comfortable with the use of Social Media Marketing.
And so, businesses search LinkedIn in order to find relevant articles that their experts can comment on.
This, therefore, creates an important opportunity for companies to share information that popularizes or create more awareness about their brand
B2B Healthcare Brand Awareness – Linkedln Marketing
If for instance, you are a healthcare firm specializing in Artificial Intelligence with strengths in interoperability solutions, you can find interoperability articles posted by prospects and have senior executives from your company comment on them on LinkedIn.
The challenge, therefore, is to be systematic and authentic as your executives engage with prospects through LinkedIn
