Create Marketing Content That Assists Buyers
Content marketing will continue to be an important tactic in a B2B digital marketing strategy, but many marketers struggle to keep their audience's attention. One approach to overcoming this challenge is to become acquainted with the concept of funnels. There are three types of funnels: traditional sales funnels, acquisition funnels, and marketing user funnels.
These phases correspond to how today's buyers make purchasing decisions: first, they research their problems or investigate an opportunity (education); then, they begin investigating different options (evaluation); and, finally, they choose a company with which to do business (conversion). After buyers have made their purchases, a fourth stage (delight) occurs when it is time for you to keep them happy.
Blog posts
Blog posts are the most common type of content marketing, but they can serve a variety of functions. You want to provide educational content that embodies complex concepts into useful insight for buyers at the top of the funnel.
Social Media Posts
Engage in social media to help build your brand awareness and increase traffic to your website. It’s advisable to include a hyperlink that will link back to your website. Your social media content should be both informative and entertaining, you should try to make sure your messaging is consistent across all of your posts. Posting fun content one week, corporate messaging the next, and sales content the following week is not a good idea. Industrial organizations can use social media to market towards other users and other businesses (B2B) as many other businesses use social media aswell.
Comparison Guides & Industry-Focused Content

You can create industry-specific website pages that target the key markets you work in and those with whom you want to do business on a regular basis.
