After years of slow early adoption, B2B marketers have finally grasped the importance of content marketing and online marketing automation to improve lead generation, overall productivity and conversion rates.
However, many B2B marketers still drag their feet with actual online marketing deployment. As a matter of fact, only half of B2B marketers are already using a marketing automation platform.
Of those who don’t, more than two thirds are either currently evaluating such a solution, know of existing tools but don’t use it or are simply not aware of the many application and benefits of online marketing automation.
B2B marketers hungry for automated marketing, thirsty for solutions
To address B2B marketers’ appetite for efficient online marketing, web agencies must therefore propose online marketing solutions that cover all their custom needs and provide straight answers to their most pressing concerns.
B2B marketers questions about flexibility, scalability and cost of ownership in the long term are more than legitimate. While deploying marketing automation for a mom and pop’s business simply requires to sign up with any online service and get to work, B2B marketers have more pressing concerns.
Among the major hurdles are stopping B2B marketers to follow through with a sustained and efficient marketing automation technology: budget constraints (37%), lack of in-house specialized staff (36%) and poor contacts databases (33%).
They need to know how they can integrate online marketing within a patchwork of existing processes, websites and online apps. They also need to have a clear path for future developments and scalable pricing models to match their expected usage growth.
On top of all that, B2B marketers need to ensure they will get a sizeable return on their investment for training their staff and secure durable, personalized technical support from their solutions provider.
These concerns mirror those of web agencies who lack the tools or technical knowledge of their B2B customers. This largely explains why B2B companies rely four times less on agencies for online marketing technical implementation (10.7%) than content creation or design (43%).
