Buyer persona research and development
You know your buyer from a demographic perspective, and we’ll help you understand their requirements for making a buying decision. How do they get educated, where do they go, and what kind of information do they consume? This information lays the foundation for effective content development and nurturing.
Buyer segmentation
Segmentation is the first step to evolving your communication from ‘one-to-many,’ that treats all your buyers the same, to a ‘one-to-one,’ that enables you to tailor your message to address specific issues of each buyer. Technical buyers vs. business buyers or decision makers vs. influencers, each segments needs different messaging and collateral. Your marketing database is probably full of relevant prospects, but they might be fatigued from irrelevant content, segmentation is the first step to optimizing the performance of your current database by adding value through the right content at the right time.
Content consumption patterns
Great content is a cornerstone to effective demand generation. However, great content that is presented at the wrong time does nothing to support the buying process. By identifying how and where buyers consume content, you can design content strategies and nurture models that track to their process and help move them along.
Buyer engagement models
The entire buyer engagement process, from first visit to active participation in a nurturing cycle, is made up of three distinct stages: engagement, acquisition, and nurturing. Understanding your buyer’s preferred method of engagement at each stage (from social media to videos or email) allows you to construct a comprehensive model that will maximize the effectiveness of your inbound and outbound programs.
"As a leader in the social media space, Small World Labs understood the need for marketing automation. What we didn’t know was how we should use automation to support our existing sales and marketing programs. Left Brain took the time to understand our business and plugged automation into our existing processes. It was a highly valuable experience."
