Strategy Basics

Creativity Is Essential

The quality of a digital marketing strategy for anindustrial business can make or break a company. A common challenge in developing the best industrial marketing strategies is finding an agency that actually understands the industrial sales channels and processes. You need a digital marketing agency with substantial industrial experience to create a plan tailored to reach and persuade industrial-minded customers. Industrial business experience is what makes the difference.

Fluid & Scalable

The best industrial digital marketing strategies are fluid and scalable to evolve with changing market conditions. As for scalable, that applies vertically and horizontally. Scaling may apply to putting more effort into your SEO strategy. Scaling could be going wider by strategically leveraging more channels and platforms. Reach out to an industrial marketing expert to discuss your challenges and oblectives.

Developing Your Strategy

Pragmatic Thinking

You can't have a strategy without thinking strategically. What this means is, your agency can't just present a list of channels, platforms or tasks, and say let's do all of this. You need to start with a discovery and strategy session to clearly define needs of the business, measureable objectives, and the marketing budget.

The next step in creating a game plan is identifying services that have the highest potential to achieve objectives, and can be implemented within the budget. As for the budget, when working with an agency, it is imperative to know the cost of any third-party services and expected hours required.

Strategic Implementation

With a good list of services, channels, and platforms you can then delineate methods and tactics for managing tasks within each service. It is important to have a specific plan how each channel will be used, and the goals for each one. Active competitive intelligence and awareness of market changes will help to keep you on track.

The measure and duration of all services and tasks need to be continually evaluated for adjustments that affect achieving a good ROI. Understanding analytics is an art in itself. Don't make knee-jerk reactions to minor fluctuations in site traffic or lead generation. Work closely with your agency to make strategic adjustments.

Channels & Platforms

  • Website SEO to keep your website prominent in search results for high-value keywords. We strongly advise using traditional SEO best practices and new tactics for semantic-based AI driven search.
