B2B Internet Marketing Strategy Tips

B2B companies often face different challenges than B2C companies when it comes to effectively marketing their product or service. Some of these differences might include the level of purchase involvement and the purchase process, the type of customer and the customer’s familiarity with the product, service, and industry. B2B companies often deal with more involved purchases and longer buying cycles. Their customers are other businesses who may be more familiar with the product or industry than the average consumer, and they’re often looking for more than a one-time transaction.

The Passing of the Torch

Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to represent Spartan Internet at the Michigan State University Earn, Learn and Intern career event with fellow MAP team member, Jordan. I donned my fancy pants (I actually wore a dress, but I did wear heels, and that is a rare occasion!) and Jordan rocked a power tie.

Search Engine Optimization: Keyword Research and Setting Expectations

SEO is a long term process that can easily become unprofitable in the short-term for small and mid-sized companies. Many of the most valuable keywords are absorbed by corporate giants with strong search authority and deep pockets. Now that I’ve rattled your confidence about SEO, I’d like to let you know that there is still hope. It takes some creativity, determination, and a strong sense of realism, but there is hope.

Be Realistic

Conference Calls at 11pm: Impacting Businesses Around the Globe

While I have great plans to travel the world, traveling abroad doesn’t really fit within the scope of my short-term goals. On the bright side, Spartan Internet provides me with opportunities to work with some really great global companies.

The two companies with whom I most like to work are both multi-national companies boasting many, many millions of dollars in revenue each year, huge corporate structures, and some of the greatest business-minds in the world. And I get to work directly with them on a daily basis!

Not too bad for a senior in college, eh?

Geotargeting: Segmenting your paid search campaigns

It sounds like business 101—be sure you know your audience. However, due to a lack of knowledge, will, or dedication, internet marketers invariably overlook the use of advanced analytics to better segment their audiences and, ultimately, their advertising campaigns. If your company has recently found itself making budget cuts, you may be wondering how this is going to affect your ongoing paid advertising budget. It may not be as bad as you think.

Authenticity and the Seeking of Inspiration

I once came across an interesting thought by filmmaker Jim Jarmusch:

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent.
