The Rise of the Undead Marketing Strategies
In the monstrous marketing world, trends and strategies that were once relevant come and go. One change in the expectations and standards of your clients can be the nail in the coffin of a particular marketing strategy. However, it is not written in stone that your buried strategies have to stay dead forever. The marketing strategies that generated past successes can live once more.
Zombies are brain-eating and soul-consuming monsters. The same can happen with old marketing strategies that aren’t allowed to die when they should. However, if you have utilised a method that created generous success in the past, there is no reason that you cannot revive it with a fresh perspective.
Marketers may find that they can recycle old content that resonated with their clients by offering a new perspective or relevant update. Consider whether specific campaigns that worked in the past can be upgraded with a unique spin to add value.
The Robots are taking over! Give AI the power it craves
Artificial Intelligence is one of the most significant trends being integrated into B2B marketing strategies. It enables automated data collection, personalised content creation and efficient lead conversions to take a load off your plate and spend more time concocting your wicked plans.
Data analysis is one of the most horrifying parts of the sales funnels for plenty of marketers. Nevertheless, it is essential for the evolution and longevity of your master plan. With recent advances in technological innovation, data analysis is just one of the many tasks that can be automated by artificial intelligence. Allow the highly-intelligent robot minds to collect, store and analyse data that is meaningful and relevant to your business. Track how your B2B clients engage with your company and use this data to trap them in your snare.
AI also offers a range of practical functions to automate your marketing strategy and make marketers’ lives easier. Trial the technology during your Halloween campaigns, and see how you can integrate it into your yearly strategy.
No tricks just treats
Trick-or-treaters will always be much more pleased to receive a treat rather than a trick on your doorstep. With the promise of high-quality goodies, your place will become a must-visit spot on the trick-or-treating route. By offering value within your marketing campaigns, you can avoid scaring off future clients. This will keep B2B clients returning to your business for more of the value you offer.
This Halloween, rather than tricking your clients with endorsements and paid ads, provide value, so they come back looking for more. Your promotions should offer an enchanting taster of your product or service to put your clients in a trance. An in-house demonstration, limited-time discount or sample of your product will give them a taste of the value you offer, encouraging them to return for more.
Spooky SEO
Search engine optimisation should be a routine practice all year round. However, when refreshing your B2B marketing strategy for an occasion such as Halloween, it’s always a good idea to reanimate the skeleton bones of your marketing strategy.
The quality of your website is certainly something that can spook off your potential leads. For products or services that have recently been updated, you should change your SEO efforts accordingly. Potential leads aren’t interested in a graveyard for outdated and irrelevant content. Your keywords should be industry-specific, and the associated content needs to interest decision-makers that could make or break your B2B conversions.
Put on your costume
‘Tis the season to adorn devil horns, fake blood and ghost-white sheets. If everyone else is dressing up for Halloween, why shouldn’t your marketing materials? Integrate a seasonal Halloween theme into your website and content to generate interest and intrigue around your brand.
If social media is part of your B2B marketing strategy, you might find that hashtags are a fun way to dress up your social media posts whilst generating awareness and engagement with your B2B clients. When using hashtags, ensure that they cater to your specific audience. The right hashtag will differ for B2C interaction and inter-business relations.
Final Thoughts
Halloween is a significant seasonal occasion that encourages marketers to take a good look at their existing B2B marketing strategies. The changes you make and the campaigns you deliver don’t have to be solely themed on the spooky season. Instead, integrate some of our suggestions into your strategy throughout the year.
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas are all quickly approaching and tend to be very busy for marketers. By continuing to create themed content, businesses can nurture the leads generated by their Halloween campaigns. Companies that integrate regular SEO efforts and AI-based automation will also enjoy hassle-free returns all year round.
