So what is the best platform for B2B, and how can you be successful on any of these platforms?
- Do the research into not only which platforms your buyers are spending the most time on, but also how they use those platforms in the context of how they work vs. how they play.
- Identify how the “top performing brands” on that platform are engaging with it, and understand what they are doing right.
- Focus your resources on developing a presence on the top 1-2 platforms your buyers are spending time on.
- Accept the fact that most buyers (unless your research has discovered otherwise) are only looking to social media for high-level, introductory research into the solutions for their problems.
- Understand that “building a presence” involves more than simply posting blog articles or white papers, and try to create an unbiased source of educational information to serve the needs of the buyer.
- Also understand that a paid advertisement might sometimes be the best way to get your helpful article shared by the right people.
- Measure your performance based on the specific platform, and learn from what you find.
- Optimize your platform presence based on the content that works for that platform, and understand that what works for your audience may vary from platform to platform.
- Cut bait and try something different if it doesn’t work.
