Conversations versus Campaigns
Marketing campaigns can and will drive visitors and customers to your website, who can be used for your Lead generation.
Once they have found your website, a conversation should be started instead of more campaigns.
The problem with Marketing campaigns is that they are generic messages and should fit a large amount of potential buyers.
These campaigns can be included together with the advertising, the Newsletters or even the RSS feed.
However B2B business prefers or requires personalized messages or conversations, not generic messages send out in bulk.
Conversations have more impact than campaigns as:
“76% B2B customers surveyed reported they frustrated with sales people that don’t understand their business” - Reed Elsevier Research - A study of 23,000 B2B buyers.
