1. A company can be as good as it wants to be, but that\u2019s not enough in today\u2019s world. Let\u2019s take a company that is extremely competent in a field, produces outstanding quality products and offers super customer service. Sounds like every customer\u2019s dream, right? But if the company doesn\u2019t communicate its competence to potential customers, success may be elusive. In other words: It\u2019s not enough to be good if no one knows about it!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

2. It’s not about visibility in general, it\u2019s about ensuring that what’s important reaches the target audience. A fictional example: Imagine two equally well-known companies with similar portfolios. One company \u201cAlpha\u201d is really good in ten core aspects, the other company \u201cBeta\u201d is really good in only eight aspects. But if \u201cBeta\u201d ensures that all these eight aspects are conveyed, while \u201cAlpha\u201d only conveys five of its top ten aspects – then \u201cBeta\u201d will be perceived as the better company.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

3. What is meant by that is the added value that the product or service delivers to the customer. In the industrial environment, this is an often overlooked marketing task. Work out what specifically is the added value delivered by your products and services. A value-add for a wholesaler may be that it is a well-known brand with a strong reputation that is easy to sell with a good margin. Then sell that value your strong brand provides rather than any particular specifications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

4. Introducing trends into the company is part of your job (even if it\u2019s not in your job description). Look how markets, sales channels and communication technologies are changing and determine what this means for your company and what it could mean in the future. One example is the digitalization of the channels to the customer: A few years ago, the direct line to the customer was the cutting edge. Then the platform industry emerged, with large online retailers for private customers such as Amazon, for example. What we now know is that platform commerce offers many opportunities, especially for industrial companies in the B2B sector.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

5. Visit trade fairs, take advantage of what trade associations have to offer, read studies by market experts, and exchange information and ideas with colleagues. Make sure you also look at the end customer sector (B2C marketing), because there are lots of great ideas there that you can easily adapt for your own business. This also applies to your personal life! The other day I bought a new desk. Splashed across the box in big letters was the following message: \u201cIs there a part missing? Please contact us!\u201d with a telephone number. A blank cardboard box is an unused marketing surface. The furniture company uses it to highlight the company\u2019s customer service. Inspiration like this from private life is a huge help.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

6. Always ask yourself: How can we boost sales? Many sales activities are driven by numbers – for the next month, the current quarter or the current financial year. That\u2019s important for managing resources in a company. Marketing is more focused on the medium and long term and can energize sales for the future. Explain in your company what trends are important to the industry or could become so. You may have to explain it several times, but you need to be persistent!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

7. How many customer presentations spend pages explaining details about a product and neglect to address the customer\u2019s perspective? Many industrial companies in particular are very technically oriented, which is awesome when it comes to product development. When you step outside, always ask yourself: What are your customers\u2019 pain points? Show your customers where and how your company can help them – as specifically as possible. Think beyond the product. Maybe your customers need direction in a new market and are happy to have a networking event. Or they want help with installation, for example via chat or video. Or do you have wholesalers as customers? Then you can score with good product data quality and product images. That helps them with their business.<\/span><\/p>

8. Convey your added value in places where your customers are present. You need to know your target groups well – are there relevant industry meetings at trade fairs or association events? What trade publications or websites have good reach among the target group? What social media channels are important for the customer groups and what content is relevant to them – even privately! The answers to these questions can sometimes be quite simple: Classic billboards on the highway can also be just the right choice – if the billboard is located near a plant of a large potential business customer, for example, and many of that customer\u2019s employees regularly drive past it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

9. \u201cHalf the money I spend on advertising is wasted. The problem is, I don’t know which half,\u201d said marketing pioneer John Wanamaker in a statement that remained true for nearly 100 years. Today, digital marketing allows us to see much better where, with whom and how our marketing activities are having an impact. It\u2019s much easier to collect data and target more effectively in the digital world.

10. Traditional \u201cold\u201d marketing is aimed at direct customers, which in the case of industrial companies often means business customers or sales partners. For industrial companies, it offers huge opportunities to think about additional target groups: to increase awareness, improve reputation or stand out as an employer. As so-called hidden champions, a lot of industrial companies have major problems finding personnel despite having top positions in their respective (niche) markets. Young talent is often attracted to big names. Marketing helps to attract these talents to your company and to win them over.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

11. You need a strong team to handle the diverse range of tasks. Not the cut-and-dried, typical curriculum vitae of high school diploma – university degree – career entry is absolutely necessary in marketing, certainly not in digital. There are true masterminds in the field who have never graduated. What matters more is relevant experience, for example in agencies or as freelancers or in another context. And, of course, curiosity, creativity and an open mind.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
