E-nurturing & Cultivation Programs

Adventive E-nurturing and Cultivation Programs

You spend a lot of money generating leads. You can’t afford to ignore the ones that aren’t ready to buy today.

It’s estimated that, on average, 80-90% of the leads BtoB marketers generate are not ready to fully engage. This does not make them “bad” leads. It just indicates they are on the front end of their buying process. Eventually, as many as 70% of them will buy. The question is, will it be from you or your competitor?

Adventive’s lead nurturing programs are designed to maintain contact with your leads as they proceed from information gatherers to fully-engaged sales opportunities. Throughout this process, leads are further qualified as additional information is provided and a dialogue begins. It’s more than just sending a monthly e-newsletter to your marketing list. It’s creating lead scoring systems and messaging paths to guide the process. Deploying industry-recognized best practices coupled with a powerful marketing automation system, we are able to monitor the prospect buying process, provide relevant information at the appropriate stage and turn over qualified leads to sales at the most opportunistic time.

Creating a ‘Yummy’ Content Strategy

Creating a ‘Yummy’ Content Strategy

While planning a large family dinner, I realized that I was really creating a content strategy.

My dinner content strategy had a lot in common with my just-developed forklift safety content strategy where I created the primary message (the entrée) and all the corollary messages (side dishes) that would be of interest, or satisfying, to my ‘audience.’

Which means one of two things:  I have discovered a really apt analogy or I need to stop taking my work home.

Anyway, to me, a good content strategy calls for the following:

What Makes a Good Email Subject Line?

One of the critical elements in a successful email marketing campaign is the subject line. Often overlooked by marketers, a good subject line can oftentimes double or even triple open rates. Here are some factors to consider for developing a good subject line:

Playing Nice in the Marketing Sandbox

Playing Nice in the Marketing Sandbox

During these recessionary times, many B2B marketers have cut back their marketing spend on traditional tactics (i.e., print advertising, sales collateral, public relations, trade show participation, web site development, etc.) and placed the bulk of their budget in online marketing. Specifically, email marketing is seen by many as a pretty profitable tactic especially when compared to its print-based counterpart.
