Virtual Meetings... A Great Alternative to Expensive Travel

Why Tuesdays Suck for Social Marketers

Take the day off, call in sick or do something else! “Simply avoid announcing anything significant on a Tuesday,” says Paul Sutton, Head of Social Communications at Bottle PR as he shares his experience and advice on why publishing messages on Tuesdays sucks big time.  Paul suggests:  Just ride the day out, accept that people aren't feeling that social and move on.   Social content launched on a Tuesday sinks without a trace as office workers are buckling down and getting work done.

Essential Tactics for Unlocking the Value of Your B2B Brand
Real-world ways you can start strengthening your B2B brand and using it to drive revenue at your organization.


Essential #6 of 6:
 
Re targeting is an effective way to increase brand awareness and conversion rates after prospects have left your website.

Place your brand where your prospects are and incorporate re targeting. Regardless of what stage in the sales cycle your prospects are in, your B2B brand can always help increase their awareness levels and establish your company’s presence as a leader. Ensure that you’ve established a firm presence in all of the marketing channels in which you participate, whether it’s display advertising, email, search, tradeshows, and so on.   The display advertising channel also offers you a unique opportunity to “be everywhere” quite easily through re targeting. If you’re not already familiar with it, re targeting is the ability to offer your prospects relevant display ads after they’ve left your website. By visiting your site, these prospects have already demonstrated an interest in your offerings, and even if they don’t convert immediately, re targeting lets you maintain your online presence with them by showing them relevant ads wherever they are on the Web. What’s more, when you combine re targeting with the ability to show your ads only to the right business demographics, overall ROI increases dramatically because you’re no longer spending money to advertise to the wrong audience.
