But Wait, There’s More… to Modern Channel Marketing

Our first blog on channel marketing outlined how the landscape has shifted from events and activities without demonstrable ROI to multifaceted digital strategies and platforms. In this new era, channel marketing delivers interactive experiences that nurture customers throughout the buying journey AND quantifiable proof of performance. Now, let’s delve deeper into the digital tools that foster these conversations, the all-important handoff between marketing and sales, and strategies to maximize impact through testing and tuning.

The power of digital campaigns

Digital campaigns have revolutionized the way businesses connect with their target audiences. They provide unprecedented opportunities to reach consumers at every stage of the buyer's journey, from awareness to consideration to decision and beyond.

• SEO: By optimizing your content with relevant keywords, you can ensure that your brand and partners are easily discoverable through organic search. Search engine optimization is crucial for capturing consumers' attention during the initial research phase.
• PPC campaigns: Targeted, pay-per-click advertising allows you to reach specific audiences with precision. By serving your ads to users who are actively searching for products or services related to your offerings, you can drive qualified traffic to your campaign landing pages.
• Social media marketing: Social media platforms provide a powerful platform for engaging with your target audience, sharing valuable content, and building brand awareness. Collaborating with influencers who resonate with your audience can significantly expand your reach and create authentic connections.
• Email marketing: Email marketing remains a highly effective tool for nurturing leads and cultivating relationships with potential customers. By providing valuable information, exclusive offers, and personalized communication, you can guide consumers through the buyer's journey and ultimately drive conversions.
• Content marketing: Developing high-quality content that educates and entertains your target audience is essential for establishing your brand as an authority in your field. Partnering with industry experts and thought leaders can enhance the credibility and impact of your content marketing efforts.

RVLVR integrates all of the above into cohesive and fluid digital campaigns that accelerate the buyer’s journey.

Bridging the gap between sales and marketing

The quickest way to slow the buyer’s journey is to fumble the handoff from marketing to sales. These two organizations need to be working in sync to further the customer conversation. This synchronization extends beyond product knowledge, sales scripts, and campaign awareness. Both teams must be able to view a prospect's engagement with the campaign, what messages resonated, and what’s next in the buyer’s journey.

True sales enablement means facilitating a seamless transition so that the sales team can pick up the conversation wherever the lead is in the buyer’s journey.

An aligned marketing campaign emphasizes a holistic approach to customer management, where all departments work together to understand and fulfill customer needs. This includes coordinating marketing activities with sales efforts to ensure a consistent message and experience across all touchpoints. Done well, you can leverage technology to automate tasks, track progress, and personalize communication, thereby streamlining the customer journey.

By implementing these strategies, RVLVR connects marketing and sales, leading to improved customer satisfaction and increased revenue.
