Deep dives
Facebook for B2B Marketing Success
Running business-to-business (B2B) ads on Facebook has emerged as an effective strategy, yielding surprisingly low customer acquisition costs. Targeting options on Facebook allow marketers to reach decision-makers who engage with B2B content more frequently than expected. In fact, Meta's data indicates that IT decision-makers are over twice as likely to be daily active users compared to others. Therefore, failing to explore Facebook for marketing webinars and events could result in missed opportunities in paid advertising.
Leveraging LinkedIn for Consumer Offers
LinkedIn is proving to be an advantageous platform for marketing consumer offers, with a 30% higher engagement rate for these types of campaigns compared to B2B offers. This trend is attributed to the vast audience base present on LinkedIn, making it an ideal platform to reach a broad market. Furthermore, marketers can achieve high match rates by leveraging their consumer databases, as many users register on LinkedIn with personal email addresses. Consequently, consumer marketers not utilizing LinkedIn are likely missing a significant opportunity to connect with their target audience.
Personal Insights and Early Job Experiences
The speaker shares a humorous account of his first job at a women’s clothing store, highlighting the challenges he faced as a young stock person. With ambitions to meet girls, he instead found himself overwhelmed by the demands of older coworkers who needed immediate assistance with sales. Lacking proper training, he often stumbled and faced criticism for his inefficiency in navigating the chaotic stockroom. Ultimately, the experience was frustrating, resulting in a lack of personal connections and a humorous retrospective on how job expectations can differ from reality.
