nieuwsbrief

The B2B newsletter is one of the most important online marketing tools for many successful businesses. What results are you actually achieving from your newsletter? Maybe you don’t write a newsletter at all, and when you think of a newsletter, you associate it with spam or offers that are not relevant to you. We would like to tell you more about the positive effects of a newsletter and how it leads to more leads, contacts, and sales. In this article, we will focus on the 7 reasons why you should write a B2B newsletter.

B2B Newsletter and the Customer Journey

We previously discussed the concept of the customer journey, which represents the journey your customer takes from initial contact to purchase. But not all customers fit into this process, no matter how well you think about it. For example, consider a customer who is researching the next step in the R&D process, but all the factors are not yet known. Or the customer who has a much larger decision to make, and your product is just a small part of it. How do you ensure that you stay in touch with these customers so that you are at the forefront when they do make a purchase? The newsletter is one of the online marketing tools that helps you stay top of mind with potential customers.

B2B Newsletter Ensures Your Place on the Customer’s Shortlist

Persuasion – The visitor to your website or booth is interested but simply not convinced yet. A newsletter that highlights cases or examples provides reasons to start a conversation.

Offer and Breadth – How many customers and relationships actually know all the ins and outs of your organization? What do you actually do and offer? By addressing the different products and services you provide in the newsletter, upsell opportunities are created.

Expertise – It’s all about trust. In B2B environments, trust is closely linked to the knowledge and expertise a customer attributes. By delving into specialized solutions or challenges in the newsletter, you show that you know what you’re doing.

Reach – Many B2B companies pay a lot of money for advertising space, advertorials, or trade shows, all to reach potential customers. By writing a newsletter, you can build a dedicated audience without having to pay anyone!

Ammunition – Often, a visitor or contact is not the only one making a purchase or decision. The stories, examples, or ideas you share in the newsletter help them convince colleagues and bosses. Arguments for working with you.

Conversion / Measurability – Signing up for the newsletter is measurable and can help you determine what customers are interested in, which content performs well, or which product or service needs more attention on the website.

Timing – How often do you think, “Hey, that’s useful/interesting/nice!” but forget it completely when you need it. This also happens to your potential customers; when they come across you, they are convinced but don’t need you yet. You need to ensure that you are on their shortlist, and a newsletter can be a good tool for that.

The above 7 reasons to write a newsletter as a B2B organization are certainly not the only ones. However, they are the most important ones, at least for us.
