b2b buying journey
The B2B buying journey has completely changed over the last decade due in large part to the Internet and the amount of information now accessible online. Businesses must come to the realization that their prospective buyers are completing up to 70% of their buying journey before contacting them. This stat may be staggering to some, but there’s good news — you still have the ability to influence your audience early on and throughout their entire buying journey. My new ebook takes a deep dive into what a modern day B2B buyer’s path to purchase looks like, the marketing solutions that play into each phase of their buying journey, and how those marketing solutions ultimately influence the buyer’s decision to purchase. This ebook is a must read for any B2B CMO or marketer looking for a fresh perspective on the digital landscape and how their business can capitalize on the online marketing opportunities available to them.

Good infographic in AdWeek that shows the continued digitization of media in the local marketing space.  Key stats to note include that local digital is forecast to grow 42% this year [after 40% last year] and that 75% of the local digital ads sold are by independent/pure play digital companies like mine.  After over a decade the traditional media publishers are slowly getting on board with digital but are they too late?

For some nostalgic reason I still subscribe to the daily newspaper.  A couple weeks ago they added a cover-wrap ad to the homepage….errr….front page.  Sure it only takes a couple seconds to remove the annoying wrap but that’s not the point. The point is that they are interrupting me and the brand being advertised receives my ire. So while they are intending to drive awareness and sales they are actually doing the opposite.  When will traditional advertising learn that interruption marketing is yesterday’s news…oh yeah, they are yesterday’s news.
