Major Reasons why B2B Content Marketing is Difficult to Implement


Introduction In recent competitive content industry changes and trends, some B2B companies have understood the need to see above the white paper content marketing and bring more client awareness and engagement.


But unfortunately, there are still some content companies that depend on their platforms and regard the process of B2B and B2C content as one that has shown conflicting mixed results. As per the institute of content marketing’s survey: • About 9% of B2B brands are very pleased with their content marketing efforts. • This is in spite of the content marketing having only 30% of the budget for marketing purpose.


Difficult Enlargement Of The Content • Over the period, the significant dissemination system for the B2B print content was the regulated flow during the late 1960’s period • Now, free content is the trend as there are more than 2 million new posts per day for the B2B clients to deal with. • It is seen that if regular readers do not choose urgently for the B2B content in spite of having email lists and content retargeting units there would be less B2B content attention


Enticing The Wrong B2B Audience Is No Better Than Having No Audience At All • The consumer advertisers always look to improve cognizance and natural inclination for their brands. • But at the same time the B2B advertisers sometimes adopt a more business-like approach where awareness becomes secondary to potential client lead generation. • Some marketers will find out ways to transform subjects into potential leads. • However, it can lead to increased costs, if the content is not able to lure the right audience leading to sales issues.


No Takers For A General Content From B2B Business Brand • While a consumer advertiser may come up with brand awareness by stimulating or redirecting it, a B2B advertiser will however be required to convey understanding of the product to the audience • This is seen as a good business practice on the insight that preferably the B2B product will go about as a channel or a filter for non-targeted audience as well.


• Some B2B advertisers may have the capacity to effectively develop an audience for the general business insight and compete with distributors. But the rest of them may not be give them competition on the game. • However, the B2B brands may overcome this issue by paying for costly but well researched premium report journalism, with only couple of them doing well at the moment.


The other issue is to hire internal influencers to attract the audience strategically, but at the same time it is a hard plan to put into practice as they may not be able to come with stories for the content that may attract the right audience as: • It may require the use of effective incentives with a distribution channel and B2B brand’s content being correct. • However, it would be a challenge to recruit the right crew to beat the competition.
