Google+ for Business: Hype or Helpful?

By Wendy Thomas (16 posts) on May 17, 2012 at 1:38 pm
Comments (0)

With so many social media options out there, and with more on the horizon every day, it’s a challenge to know whether your business can benefit from any of them or not.

Google+ is one of the new guys, and there are mixed reviews so far. If you’re already using Twitter and Facebook and getting good results, then you might not want or need another avenue right now. If you’re new to social network platforms and still working on goals for what you want to accomplish, Google+ should be thrown into the mix.

Google+ ties several Google products that serve businesses together. One point especially worth noting is that with Google being a top search engine in the world, public posts made on Google+ automatically rank higher than any others in a Google search. What’s not to like about that?

Effective B2B Lead Generation Doesn't Sell Your Product

By Kevin Murphy (14 posts) on May 16, 2012 at 10:11 am
Comments (0)

In the world of B2B marketing, there are three kinds of prospects:
1. Those in the last stage of the buy cycle and in the process of evaluating solutions.
2. Individuals with a pain or a problem that's big enough to take action to solve, but who are beginning to look around for information on possible solutions.
3. People just beginning to realize there's a problem, but the pain is not yet big enough to take action to solve.

When your company develops a product, its purpose is to provide a solution to a known problem. The thinking is, "Companies have this problem, so we'll create a solution that they'll jump on." It is logical, from that point of view, to focus all your marketing on selling the product.

Unfortunately, the only prospects this approach attracts are those that fall into category #1 -- completely missing those who are beginning their research or are just beginning to see a pain point. To generate the maximum number of leads in marketing efforts -- to build a long-term pipeline of potential buyers -- B2B marketing must reach all three groups.

Is Pinterest Useful to Software Businesses?

By Wendy Thomas (16 posts) on May 11, 2012 at 10:01 am
Comments (1)

By now, you've probably heard about Pinterest. It's an online “image” grabbing site that allows users to group images captured (pinned) from websites onto pages which can then be shared with others who have a similar interest. Think of it as online scrapbooking except that, this being the internet, you're able to follow the graphic image back to the original website.

Let's say that someone I follow has a page of “Hardware, You Gotta Have.” If I see a photo of a new Ultrabook™, I might be inclined to click on that photo to get more information from the original website. It is in those traffic clicks where lies the possible advantage of Pinterest to your company. Pinterest is yet another possible way to drive consumers to your website.
