Why B2B Marketers are turning to Instagram
Instagram has over 1 Billion users around the world. Therefore, the probability of the user being your next business client is very high. As a B2B company, this is your cue to build a solid online presence to form a long-term connection with your audience.
Instagram has become a crucial starting point in digital marketing for many B2C marketers. But the truth is, B2B companies can also leverage the high brand visibility on this platform. Your strategy now is not limited to pitch meetings; you can reach a client halfway across the world.
So many entrepreneurs have amazing ideas. True. So many them never see them through. Fact.
It's a new year, well, at least we are almost a quarter of the way through 2016, and business people still trying to climb to the next level keep on having these stops and starts that at the end of the only costs them time, money and an ability to be more successful.
Marketers, did you forget something?
As I begin putting a presentation together, I am reminded of the hundred or so people who listened to my presentation on sales automation last year, and their lack of knowledge on the topic of marketing automation. Only four people put their hands up out of two sessions to the question of whether or not they had marketing automation implemented in their businesses.
This year, I expect it to be significantly more but doing a bit of a field study on the implementation of marketing automation in B2B businesses, I am fast realizing that there are still a lot of marketers who are completely ignorant to the role of marketing automation in the marketing strategy.
