Account-based marketing (ABM) is a strategic approach to business marketing that focuses efforts on a defined set of key target companies within a market. Many business-to-business (B2B) marketers will cast a wide net with their targeting efforts in hopes of reaching as many companies in their market as possible, but results have shown that this approach often falls short on generating new clients.
Today, effective B2B marketers are employing account-based marketing strategies and tactics across multiple channels, including digital advertising, to identify, target, and convert customers within their market. Through the use of technology, these marketers are able to capitalize on more robust data sets to indicate the current needs and purchase intent of target companies.
These types of indicators, combined with firmographic and demographic company data, allow marketers to focus their efforts on highly qualified, engaged target audiences and increase personalization within their campaigns to ultimately result in higher conversion rates and greater return on their advertising spend.
Next, we’ll discuss how you can leverage Choozle and its technology partners to set up highly targeted, effective account-based advertising campaigns.
