One of our most sought after services at Bane Digital is ABM Strategy & Consulting. Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is a strategy with a lot of buzz, but also some common misconceptions. Let's clear the air:

Target Account List: A common myth is that effective ABM starts with a small, loosely defined target account list. However, focusing too narrowly can lead to missed opportunities. It's essential to cast a wider net initially and refine your focus based on intent and engagement.

Sales Team's Dream Accounts: Often, companies let their sales teams define their ABM strategy based on 'dream accounts' or ‘white whales’, which may not always align with reality. While aspirational, this approach can overlook practical targets that are more attainable and potentially more profitable.

Budget Allocation: ABM isn't just about targeting the biggest names with hefty budgets. A more practical approach is to invest in campaigns that identify trends of interest across a broader spectrum. This helps in pinpointing where your product or service truly fits and is needed.

Personalized Outreach: Personalization is a key component of ABM, but it should follow initial broad engagement. Jumping straight into hyper-personalized messaging without understanding a prospect's interest level can be ineffective.

High-Quality Leads Over Quantity: The goal is to generate high-quality leads rather than just a high quantity. This involves targeting accounts that show genuine interest and engagement with your content, and are more likely to convert into customers.

Embrace a more nuanced approach to ABM, focusing on broader engagement, precise targeting, and strategic personalization. For more insights on ABM strategies and how to effectively implement them, and a free audit from Bane Digital, just comment below!

At Bane Digital we’ve seen the need for a transition from lead-gen focused campaigns to demand-gen. If you’re starting to see a dip in search volume, low volume of high-intent users, and other signs of a declining lead-gen campaign, check this out or reach out to one of us at Bane Digital.

In the dynamic world of digital marketing, the shift from traditional lead generation to demand generation is a game-changer. Here's Bane Digital has helped clients with this transition successfully, and how you can too:

The Pivot: Moving from content lead gen to demand gen is not just a tactical change; it’s a strategic overhaul. This approach focuses on quality over quantity, aiming for high-intent demo requests rather than just lead numbers.

Getting Buy-in: The first critical step is securing buy-in. This can be a scary change and all parties involved need to be informed and bought in. This shift means initially seeing a drop in total lead volume, but a significant increase in the quality and intent of these leads.

Strategy Refinement: Next, it's about refining the paid social strategy. Bane Digital tends to split budget 50/50 between demand generation (educating the audience) and demo requests, focusing on LinkedIn and Facebook for targeted reach and engagement. This can change depending on where your audiences hang out and what makes monetary sense.

Audience Optimization: A continual process of audience targeting optimization is key. This involves leveraging intent data, dynamic retargeting, and careful audience analysis to improve lead quality.

Scaling with Incentives: To further boost high-intent lead volume, incentives were introduced. This step should only be taken once you’re confident in your audience targeting capabilities.

Expanding Channels: After mastering LinkedIn, expanding to other channels like Facebook, while maintaining focused targeting, significantly decreased CPC and CPM costs, increasing visibility and engagement.

Tangible Results: The results will speak for themselves - Significant increase in triggered opportunities, reduced costs per opportunity, and improved lead to opportunity conversion. It’s a testament to the effectiveness of a well-executed demand generation strategy.

For digital marketers, this transition is about continuous refinement and strategic optimization. Bane Digital can help you make this change and see results. Comment “Audit” below for a free strategy and campaign audit from one of our experienced Solution Specialists.

🚨 2024 Email Changes… is business ready?

As we approach 2024, it's crucial for all email marketers to be aware of significant changes coming to email regulations. Here's a brief rundown of what's happening and how to prepare:

Email Authentication Tightens: Google and Yahoo are stepping up their game in email security. Bulk senders will now need to authenticate emails using standards like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, leading to a notable decrease in unauthenticated messages.

Mandatory One-Click Unsubscribe: To enhance user experience, a one-click unsubscribe option is becoming mandatory in emails sent by large volume senders. This is expected to change how users engage with emails.

Stricter Spam Rate Thresholds: Prepare for stricter monitoring, as Google sets a clear spam rate threshold of 0.3% for messages sent. Yahoo is on a similar path, although specific percentages aren't mentioned.

Who does this impact?

If you're sending over 5,000 emails per day, these changes directly impact you, especially if you're in email marketing, e-commerce, or running a subscription service.

These changes mean a technical overhaul for many, potentially leading to higher unsubscribe rates and necessitating constant spam rate monitoring.

Start reviewing and updating your email authentication methods, implement the one-click unsubscribe feature, and keep an eye on your spam rates using tools like Google’s Postmaster Tools.

Let's embrace these changes to contribute to a safer and less cluttered email environment. For detailed insights and tips comment “Audit” below and you’ll get a free Email & Paid Audit from Bane Digital.

Failure can be a hard pill to swallow. We’ve all felt like failures at times and it’s probably fair to say that failure has gotten us to where we are. Look at any solo-preneur or startup founder.

“I failed 100 times before I got it right.”

The same goes for marketing, not every tactic will be successful. This can be stressful, particularly if you have a limited budget, pressure from executives that might not share the same understanding of marketing that you have.

There is a way to navigate this. The most successful marketing strategies fail, but they fail FAST. This comes from analysis, knowing your industry, knowing your customer, and understanding what influences buyer decisions. You need to know fast if something is working and either make adjustments or scale it.

At Bane Digital, failure educates our marketing strategy. Our goal is to get you to the best possible marketing strategy as quickly as possible.

Steven Bartlett said it best “Fail fast, particularly faster than your competitors.”

Marketing for B2B companies can be hard. Tactics rarely change, messaging is never refreshed and potential clients run away in droves. It’s soul-less, abrasive, and unpleasant. Why is that?
