Deep dives
Understanding Demand Generation in Learning
Demand generation refers to the process of increasing awareness and desire for a product or service, particularly in the context of learning and development. It is essential for engaging audiences who may not even recognize that they have a need for learning solutions. For example, many organizations face challenges in marketing their learning offerings, leading to low engagement rates. By effectively implementing demand generation strategies, marketers can highlight the value of their learning products, making potential learners aware of the solutions available to solve their challenges.
Creating Motivation through Demand Generation
Demand generation not only raises awareness but also cultivates motivation among potential learners. In traditional marketing for learning, strategies are often limited to simple email blasts or program announcements, which fail to address why someone would want to participate. By answering the fundamental question of 'what's in it for me?', marketers can tap into the intrinsic motivations of their audience, encouraging individuals to actively seek out learning opportunities. This approach transforms learning from a mandatory task into an engaging choice, fostering a culture where employees view further education as a valuable opportunity.
It's story time with Han this week, as she lets us in on a client conversation that really got her cogs turning. In this bite sized ep, Han delves into demand generation, and how it might help all L&Ders (and stakeholders!) think differently about marketing for learning®.
