Online Marketing and Sales Follow Up- Setting the hook without spooking the fish

May 8th, 2008 posted by Brent Wilson

Before the internet, marketing would “fish” for new customers much like deep sea fishing. Get out to the deep water, get the right bait for the fish you’re trying to catch set your line out and wait. You feel the rod jerk, set the hook and reel em’ in. As my grandfather would say, through billows of cigar smoke as I forlornly watched my still rod on his boat anchored off some shoal in Atlantic waters… “you need to have patience”.

Throwing good money after bad

April 17th, 2008 posted by Brian Courtney

“About the only thing that comes to us without effort is old age.”
- noted cookbook author Gloria Pitzer

The best marketers may make their programs look effortless, but don’t be fooled. There is no such beast. Well planned, well executed strategic marketing is a lot of work. But then again, so is filing for bankruptcy, selling off your assets and shuttering your business - which is the alternative to putting in effort. Which makes me wonder why companies bother to invest in marketing activities and then put nearly zero effort into executing them. This is just throwing good money after bad.

Do you know where your B2B leads are?

April 17th, 2008 posted by Joe Schubert

Sales leads are the life blood of your company. That’s a fact. Unfortunately, it’s also a fact that B2B leads are expensive.

What’s does a qualified B2B lead cost you? $100? $500? $1000? More? Yet B2B companies often quickly lose track of their leads. Sales wants HOT leads. HOT leads represent the low-hanging fruit…companies that want to buy NOW.

However, lead tracking research shows that only 20 percent of your leads are HOT leads. What about the other 80 percent? Half of this group will be buyers in three to nine months. At most companies they get filed away in the prospect database – which is really a mausoleum where not-so-hot prospects get buried alive.

A nurturing campaign can help keep these leads alive until they become HOT, usually at a much lower cost than finding new leads. Result: Treated right, a prospect database is an incubator for buyers, not a mausoleum.

B2B Public Relations Ninjas with Podcasts

April 8th, 2008 posted by Ashley Reppert

Schubert has likened its staff to B2B Marketing Animals, and even to communication cats…but never to ninjas. I stand to change this. As Debra pointed out in her post yesterday, on a daily basis we are working, stealthily, to make “it” happen. This normally does not involve hiding in ceiling tiles or cat-quick movements, but we are tasked with covert operations each day — from making placements in trade pubs to calling the Pentagon or even calling Arnold “The Govenator” Schwarzenegger (yes we have done that).

In terms of sly, yet effective, PR/Marketing tactics - podcasts are one of the best, giving a voice to your company. I’d like to let this PR Ninja (not on Schubert’s Staff, unfortunately)break it down for those readers that aren’t quite willing to jump on the podcasting bandwagon. In fact, this is a good example of both video podcasting and viral marketing. (See the video after the jump.) Read the rest of this entry »

Behind the scenes

April 7th, 2008 posted by Debra Yemenijian

Day in and day out, public relations executives tackle tasks that clients never see. These are the calls, e-mails and research that get the job done, and get the job done well. Here at Schubert, I work with a diverse group of clients ranging from companies specializing in agriculture and biometrics to scientific instrumentation and steel fabrication. Each client brings its own challenges, and every so often, I find myself doing things I never imagined I’d do.

Today, I called the Pentagon.

No one plans to fail

April 7th, 2008 posted by Brian Courtney

“No one plans to fail, they just fail to plan.” It’s one of the oldest clichés on the planet, it’s certainly one of the most time worn axioms in the business universe, but it’s as true today as it ever was. Need proof? Look at what happened to the U.S. Census Bureau when it failed to plan. Now, no one ever cited the government as a good role model for business, but there’s hardly a more textbook case to illustrate the need for planning, and nowhere is planning more important than in communications programs.

“Spring is a time of renewal”

March 26th, 2008 posted by Debra Yemenijian

Amid my daily influx of spam and junk e-mail, this subject line stuck out to me like a nun at a Metallica concert. I recognized the sender — Toppers Spa — as a company whose messages I usually delete, even though I willfully subscribe to their e-mail blasts.

Maybe it’s because spring is officially here (according to the calendar anyway), or perhaps it’s because I’m in the middle of a busier than usual work week and subconsciously want a massage. Either way, something about “Spring is a time of renewal” made me open the e-mail and read about this week’s special spa packages.

Is the Unique Selling Proposition (USP) dead?

March 19th, 2008 posted by Joe Schubert

Rosser Reeves fathered the USP advertising theory 50 years ago. His research showed that it would revolutionize advertising performance. Yet, where can you find a USP today? Certainly not in TV commercials, not in most print ads either.

Some agencies suggest you spend your ad dollars getting laughs or otherwise entertaining the audience; that will sell your product. They have many convincing arguments, too. “You have too many competitors to develop a USP” or “Your products are too generic.” My favorite: “You don’t want to turn away sales from outside your niche.” And they’re all backed up by the old standby: “The most important thing is to get your name out there.”

But is this true or is it just lazy marketing? B2B advertising with no USP is advertising with no pulling power. That fact will be obvious with the next direct mail offer that hits your desk. You will give it 3 seconds to find the USP. Otherwise it’s “hasta la vista, baby.” Advertising gets the same 3 seconds. If the hook isn’t set, the fish swim away.

Moral: get a strong USP or get a new agency.

With apologies to Shakespeare

March 13th, 2008 posted by Debra Yemenijian

All the Web’s a stage,
And all the B2B companies merely players:
They have their products and their services;
And one company in its time runs many campaigns …

I read with interest a column in the March 10 issue of BtoB Magazine titled “Should your next hire be a theater major? Maybe.” The article asserts that the key ingredient often missing from B2B online creative is a strong point of view. It continues to say successful point of view requires showmanship, “that extra and sometimes daring ingredient” that makes B2B buyers — not unlike theater patrons — want to come back for more.

As it turns out, good old-fashioned theatrical skills, or at least the ability to think like an actor or director, are just as important online as they are on the boards.
