Search for new Audiences

As you know, the search for new leads through different audiences is a task that we should never leave aside, as the sales funnel must be constantly moving, and we must nurture new prospects to not always saturate The same users.

Many times we have a Buyer Person Defined and we can approach it through interest or market audiences on platforms like Facebook or Adwords. But in many other cases, we have hypothesis that we must corroborate, and until we are tested we cannot know how they will work. These tests suppose an additional expense that must be controlled, and thanks to the new B2B hearings that we will be offering in 2019, we will be able to lower this expenditure in audiences that we thought good enough and to be able to go directly to the best ones.

New B2B segmentations on LinkedIn

The number one social network to generate B2B Leads on LinkedIn. Compared to the rest of networks, this represents 80% of the success in generation of Leads. LinkedIn solves the difficulty of getting a Lead B2B, where the decision making (purchase) is always slower and more complex.

In Digital Menta We have already been able to test B2B hearings in Beta on this network. It has been an important step for our customers to take advantage of this information from professional profiles to be able to direct us to the appropriate sector or to the degree of exact responsibility (or Job Title)

To expand these audiences we make use of the search for “years of experience”, although it is necessary to keep in Mind that LinkedIn understands as experience from a level of practices. If we filter for more than 5 or 10 years of experience we can give with more Senior profiles and of greater responsibility when making decisions of purchase within a company.

For your strategy to work, we recommend that your company page and your product pages are directed expressly to the profile you are looking for, because if you search through this network, you will want to know what solution you are offering at this time and what is your Value proposition.

Reinforces the LinkedIn Ads With a high-value content strategy for the professional. Use the “pains and gains” you have detected that have your customers and make articles and videos that solvent. You will get high quality followers that interact with your content and improve the dissemination in networks of contacts similar to your Buyer person.

New B2B segmentations in Bing

So far the way to be able to address professional audiences was through the traditional rise of our own databases. With this, we can address these user emails when browsing the Microsoft search engine, or configure audiences similar to these, as we can do in the other PPC networks.

At the end of October Bing heralded the new segmentation From the LinkedIn profile of the users. Currently in Beta, Bing Ads expands to these users for text ads, shopping campaigns and dynamic search ads.

It allows us to segment up to 145 sectors, 80,000 business names and 26 work functions. This segmentation can be applied at both campaign level and ad group level.

A good strategy is, once selected for example a couple of sectors and some 15 companies, through the modifiers of bid, increase around 15% in the most important companies of our list. It is Also pending the possibility of incorporating audience exclusions later.

Yes we can try with campaigns that send a Landing page Very specific where the conversion is to obtain a product sample, a demonstration, or the access to a valuable resource for your user.

As for the B2B hearings that we can find in this network, we can work:
