Should Your Business Invest in Online Ads if You are B2B?
It’s true that online ads have not been a preferred strategy of B2B business owners. That’s largely due to the sort of niche markets most
B2B companies target. But, executed correctly, online marketing that includes paid ads is actually a great way to grow your B2B
business. Smart WSI Marketing is an internet marketing company that can show you how to integrate online ads into your overall B2B marketing
strategy for better results. Get in touch with us today!
Industrial, professional services, and the financial sector in Canada made up over 60% of traditional B2B print ad spending in 2019. Yet
only 29% of B2B buyers solely consume print when looking for all types of information. A larger number, 34%, read digital only and 37% read
both. The good news is that across the board, regardless of how they consume that information, it’s highly valued and trusted by their
audiences.
B2B Internet Marketing & Paid Ads
Your targeted market may be smaller than most B2C brands but that doesn’t mean your website can’t turn clicks into more conversions and
sales. An experienced digital marketing agency helps you find that percentage of online searchers in your industry who are interested in
what you offer. One of the best ways to do that? Implementing online ads as a component of your internet marketing plans.
An online marketing agency specializing in digital performance has a variety of ways to help you engage the right audiences:
Research highly profitable keywords and relevant categories.
Identify your ideal target audience.
Build your brand’s comprehensive digital presence.
This last point is crucial as the first goal of B2B online marketing is branding, not sales. That might sound counterintuitive, but most
people want to be highly engaged by what they see and read online. The most successful online B2B ads are those that tell a story, not pitch
the by-the-numbers benefits of a product or service. Done right, paid ads are one of the most effective ways to market your B2B business.
