“With the advent of the internet, the behavior of buyers – the way they
identify, understand, evaluate, and buy products – has fundamentally
changed. ” – Eloqua Blog
› Sales cycles are often much longer for B2B products
› B2B products are often far more expensive
› Purchasing decision involves multiple individuals & teams

“Experimenting with new tactics is important, but marketing leadership must
also seek out the right tools and partners that can help their teams pinpoint
which digital elements of the online marketing mix reach the right buyers and
produce results that help the business reach revenue and growth goals — not
just reach.” – Forester

Sponsored Updates Tips & Tricks
› Clear value proposition & call-to-action
› Landing page must match content & offer (white paper, case study, etc.)
› Develop a social calendar and maintain min of 2-3 posts at all times
Frequency Caps - a user can only see up to 4 updates from a single company
page within a 48 hour period
Out of those four, they can only get a single message once. If you only have
one piece of content running, a user only has a chance to get a single post
within 48 hours
If you only have a single piece of content, try posting it 3 more times with a
different header/intro each time to increase the odds of people seeing it
Take advantage of incomplete profiles by using exclusion targeting
› Tag URLs with unique parameters that allow you track back performance to specific
ads & campaigns/targeting

Twitter Cards
“…not about us, not about our content or our brand; it’s about the
experience that we can deliver for the end social user. We’re not going to
tweet just for the sake of tweeting, or just to maintain a schedule because we
have to. If we tweet, it’s because there’s a purpose there, and we think it’s
valuable for the people who follow us.” - John Lee

Considerations
› You pay for any type of engagement on an ad – clicks,
shares, comments, opens, etc.
› If you can’t put a value on a like, share, comment, etc. reduce
clickable content - URL link only (engagement rates WILL fall,
but quality should improve)
› Facebook Ads management tool: Qwaya.com
› It’s a two-way street! Engage with customers
