Marketing Advice for the Manufacturing Industry

While trade shows are one way to connect with your clients, you want to nurture those relationships between conferences. Marketing your business is a great way to keep your brand awareness high outside of trade show season.

We understand that B2B marketing has different needs and requires a different approach than B2C marketing. With more stakeholders to convince, we recommend our B2B clients focus on educating potential leads before they try to sell to them. Position yourself as an industry expert with blog posts that build trust with your potential clients. Don’t just take our word for it; the Content Marketing Institute found in their 2020 B2B Content Marketing Report that 70% of the most successful B2B marketers have incorporated content marketing into their lead generation strategy.

Continue to engage potential leads with social media marketing, particularly with posts on LinkedIn. Once you have regular posts on your website’s blog, you can repurpose that content as highlights in your email newsletters or posts on LinkedIn to build on your connection with your clients.
