1. Introduction to Personalised Marketing Insights

Remember the days when you would receive the same generic marketing emails and advertisements as everyone else? Well, those days are long gone. Today, it is essential to obtain personalised marketing insights to evaluate customer experiences to ensure your business can stand out in the digital marketplace.

As an experienced B2B sales professional, I've discovered the power of digital selling, using strategies like email and social media advertising banners to invite prospects to a weekly live stream show, effectively replacing telesales and cold calling. Let me walk you through how to achieve this for your business.

2. Using Data to Inform Strategy

Leveraging data is key to personalising customer experiences. Here are some steps to follow:

  • Use analytics tools like Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to collect data on your customers' behaviour.
  • Identify patterns, trends, and areas for improvement.
  • Adapt your marketing strategies accordingly to maximise engagement and conversion rates.

3. Audience Segmentation and Targeting

To create personalised experiences, you must first understand your audience. Segment them using the following methods:

  • Demographics: Age, gender, location, etc.
  • Psychographics: Interests, values, and lifestyles.
  • Behaviour: Past interactions, purchase history, and content consumption.
  • Use platforms like Social 444 to target your segmented audience effectively.

4. Creating Tailored Content

Now that you have a deeper understanding of your audience, it's time to create content that resonates with them. Consider the following:

  • Copywriting that speaks directly to your target audience.
  • Visually appealing images and visuals using tools like Mid Journey, Adobe Firefly, and Microsoft Designer.
  • Engaging video and podcasts that tell a story and connect with your audience.
  • Utilise SEO & SEM strategies to ensure your content is easily discoverable by your target audience.

5. Personalised Marketing Insights

We all want to understand who is looking, searching and reading or watching.  However, in the world of B2B sales and marketing, this is not always going to be possible and in fact can be very hard to come by.  

The above strategies are the most sound you can adopt.  Here's the point; If you're able to communicate to your total addresable market you're goign to be well on your way to succeeding.

First, buy a database of your total addressable market from a list broker.  For example, there are 44,000 business employing more than fifty staff in the UK.  This means their turnover should be approximately £5m and above.

Next, set up an email campign and banner advertising campaign on LinkedIn inviting them to watch your live stream or listen to your podcast.

Of this total addressable market, approcimately 1% to 15% begin their buying journey for most B2B products, software or services.  They don't all buy, as some decisions are a "'No!", I guess it's still a decision!  Nevertheless, you have the oportunity to attract 100-1,500 business to watch and or listen to your show every week.

It may be toungue-in-cheek but the reality is, you don't need personalised marketing insights id you're selling B2B as the numbers tend to be significantly lower than that of businesses sellign to consumers, i.e., shows and online stores.
