Launch and get leads

Are you ready to launch your next B2B product or service? Be sure you're also ready to extend the steady, lasting, often diversified, effort to generate sales leads.

-DON'T assume that one tactic alone, be it enhanced SEO or pay-per-click (PPC) advertising or whatever, will meet your lead generation needs... that is not likely

-DO know that, for every message point you need to deliver, you should employ multiple media to reach more ears and wallets

-DO accordingly plan that you must make the most of every marketing dollar, which may drive some of the techniques you employ

-DO leverage every form of digital marketing appropriate – considering as well that digital marketing can be very cost-effective –  leveraging your own website (including the home page), creating an ongoing stream of relevant content marketing including a blog, issuing eblasts to your stakeholders, boosting both organic and paid SEO, and taking full advantage of social media relevant to your launch

-DON'T neglect more traditional venues, from trade shows and speaking engagements, to print and digital media relations, print and digital advertising, and direct mail to key decision-makers; being contrarian can separate you from the crowd

-DO encourage industry experts to vet and review your new offering, but not until you're confident it's ready

-DON'T stop. The old adage is still true: When you are sick and tired of delivering that same message, your intended audience may just be starting to pay attention

-DO get help. Launch marketing and lead generation is both science and art, and you will maximize your ROI by working with a strong, qualified launch marketing team.
