social business networks like LinkedIn

  • Networks such as LinkedIn or Xing, in particular, are also becoming increasingly important in the B2B sector. For marketing and sales, this allows them to reach potential customers directly and generate them as leads. The group function on many networks also offers the opportunity to reach many people who are interested in the topic of the group and to disseminate one’s content.

Digital Ads

  • This trend will continue because more clicks can be generated than through organic search. Therefore, there will also be more budget for digital ad placement. Because the top results will be taken by the companies that use enough money for their space.

E-Mail Marketing

  • E-mail marketing is an important communication tool in business relationships. Since everyone receives many emails daily, you should customize the email to stand out. Therefore, customize the emails to address the recipient personally.

Chatbots

  • To guarantee optimal customer service, it makes sense to offer automatic responses. However, a contact person should also be available for difficult concerns.
