10 tips for an optimal B2B social media strategy

You probably already know that social media is a great channel for promoting yourself, for getting and staying in touch with customers or prospects and for increasing awareness of your brand. But most marketing professionals in the technical B2B industry find it hard to figure out the right social media strategy. Are you struggling to decide how to start? Which messages to post, and how frequently? How to get fans or followers? First let me be clear: there is no golden rule. But these ten tips will certainly help you on your way!

Banners

How to create effective digital ads for your B2B campaigns

Did you know that 55% of all page views hold the reader’s attention for less than 15 seconds? Over the years, internet users have become increasingly better at scanning web pages and it now takes them just a few seconds to decide whether or not they find the displayed content interesting enough to read on. In fact, the average attention span of internet users has dropped to 8 seconds, compared to 12 seconds in 2000. And yes, this trend is also impacting on banners. By their very nature they get the least attention from users, so it is becoming increasingly important to create very high-quality banners to achieve maximum engagement with your target audience.

Event Marketing

9 tips for a terrific trade show

Traditionally, trade shows play an important role in geospatial B2B marketing. In fact, there is probably no better way to get in touch with your customers and prospects. Yet, a lot of possibilities at trade shows are still often left unused. We regularly visit trade fairs ourselves and still see too many exhibitors who make little or no contact at all. Often they focus on the wrong things, like their smartphone or colleagues, which is a real pity. For that reason we’ve put together a list of tips, so that you can get the most out of your next trade fair participation!

Marketing Strategy

The rise of mobile mapping technology

With the rise of mobile technology in the geospatial industry, we thought it was time to conduct an advanced analysis of our user data and behaviour of thousands of members of the geospatial community, with a special focus on mobile mapping. Over 450,000 geomatics professionals visited our websites in 2017, which puts us in a unique position to analyse their behaviour and provide an overview of the rise of mobile mapping technology.

This blog is a summary of the full report, which can be read here.

Customer Journey

How geospatial professionals find new products

In one of our previous blogs, we’ve explained why Geo-matching is much more than just a platform for lead generation; in fact, it is primarily used as an information platform. By enabling industry professionals to search for, find and compare new products, Geo-matching plays a crucial role in two key phases of the customer journey: awareness and product consideration. In this blog we will dive deeper into how Geo-matching is used in the information phase and how you can utilise your account to gain optimum benefit in this phase.

Lead Generation

Lead generation through digital marketing in the geospatial industry

Generating high-quality traffic and leads is a big challenge for most companies. In fact, at a staggering 61%, HubSpot’s latest ‘State of Inbound 2018’ indicates that this is by far the biggest challenge for marketing professionals. The same report also clearly states that, on average, inbound marketing – which is a form of ‘pull’ marketing through the internet – provides 60% of all high-quality leads, compared to 21% directly via the sales team and 18% through outbound marketing such as trade fairs or cold acquisition. So let’s dive a little deeper into lead generation through digital marketing.
