Essentials: Demand Generation Strategy

Posted by on 8:43 pm

Essential Components of A Demand Generation Strategy for the Modern B2B Marketer – A Holistic Approach. 

Content Marketing – Rightfully claiming/attracting organic search to your website. Content Marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content (Blogging) to attract and retain a clearly defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.

Content marketing yields an average increase in organic traffic of 350 percent and will help you generate highly qualified referral traffic that often turns into your best clients.

Persona Development – The purpose of personas is to create reliable and realistic representations of your key audience segments for reference. These representations should be based on qualitative and some quantitative user research and web analytics. Personas are only as good as the research behind them.

Effective personas:

  • Represent a major user group for your website.
  • Express and focus on the major needs and expectations of the most important user groups
  • Give a clear picture of the user’s expectations and how they’re likely to use the site
  • Aid in uncovering universal features and functionality
  • Describe real people with backgrounds, goals, and values

Sample B2B Personas may be differentiating messaging to Agency Personnel vs direct to the Marketing Director.

Marketing Automation – Winning at Demand Generation banks on deploying an all-in-one Marketing Automation software solution like Hubspot. The technology behind winning at Demand Generation is Marketing Automation – the art and science of creating lead flows for sales.
