Best Marketing Techniques to Support Your Inbound Campaign

Posted by Amy Kenigsberg on May 20, 2025 2:00:00 PM

Marketers increasingly recognize that if they want higher ROI, more qualified sales leads, lower cost per acquisition, and increased brand authority, inbound marketing is essential.

Inbound marketing is unlike traditional outbound marketing approaches that have marketers vying for customers’ attention via ads, trade shows, and cold calling. Instead, inbound focuses on having potential leads come to you via company-created content that drives visitors to your website, engages them, and helps your sales team convert them into customers and loyal brand followers.

The Real Need for Messaging as a Service (MaaS)

Posted by Larry Kenigsberg on Jan 22, 2025 11:15:00 AM

Hmmm…should this be a blog or rant?

Posted by Larry Kenigsberg on Jan 2, 2025 2:30:00 PM

B2B messaging should clearly explain the unique value and selling propositions (UVPs/USPs) and myriad advantages of your solution to everyone participating in purchasing process. Sometimes, that just isn’t achieved.

Fail 1 - The “too-broad” B2B messaging

General marketing blah-blah is not appreciated. Technology products are very rarely designed for general use, and the more specific you message to your personas, the better. Messaging must make it immediately apparent who benefits from your product and how.
