What Is Account Based Marketing?
Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is a B2B strategy that engages both sales and marketing efforts on a definite set of target accounts within a market and employs personalized campaigns designed to resonate with each account. With ABM, marketers can create a strategic set of activities that make them rise above the rest and capture their target accounts easily. Listed below are the benefits of Account-Based Marketing:
Consistent alignment between sales and marketing
Since account based marketers are more focused on accounts instead of individual leads, they end up speaking the same language as their sales counterparts. This situation leads to a strong alignment between sales and marketing. According to Forester Research, B2B companies with aligned sales and marketing teams perceive an average of 32% annual revenue growth, while less aligned companies see a 7% drop in growth.
Cost efficient marketing strategy
ABM is so targeted with its marketing efforts that resource waste is very limited. It also allows marketers to center their resources efficiently and implement marketing programs that are definitely optimized for target accounts.
Personalized and augmented
Account Based Marketing campaigns entail personalizing company communications to specific accounts so that these campaigns resonate with their target audiences. Targeted customers are more likely to engage with content that is geared exactly to them, and is applicable to their business and stage in the buyer journey.
Deliver higher ROI
A report from Sirius Decisions stated that more than 90% of B2B marketers call it “important” or “very important”, and several marketers claim that ABM supplies a higher ROI than any other form of B2B marketing. Clearly, Account-Based Marketing is a vital part of a modern “lead generation strategy”.
