Often we tend to depersonalize this market which, despite having its own specificity and peculiarity , certainly presents relational dynamics common to the B2C.

1. Trust the drip campaigns in the onboarding and trial phasesA service of thousands of euros a year is certainly not bought on impulse. We often come to purchase after long contact and relationship cycles . So remember that B2B recipients do not buy the instant you land the email in their inbox.It means that an Email Marketing strategy can not consist of a single campaign, but it is necessarily made of a battery of emails , inserted in an organized , reasoned and structured sending plan . A sending system that must be oriented according to the behavior and the phase of the customer journey in which the single contact is located. The Marketing Automation constitutes the core of this process.

Theory and practice of Marketing Automation, in the dedicated ebookMany are the reality of B2B that rely on trial and tests free to attract new leads (potential customers), and then convince them gradually over time to buy.

2. Care design: create graphic and responsive emailsThe fact that you operate in B2B does not mean that you are not required to take care of email design . The B2B recipients are sensitive to the image, to the graphic realization, no less than the B2C interlocutors.So no style license, but on the contrary great care and attention in the definition of the layout . There are two essential requirements:Functional design, impact and invites to deepen
B2B does not mean sending textual e-mails that resemble work contracts or service details.

The effectiveness of the email is to deliver an effective, incisive, impactful invitation, then inviting the recipient to deepen the content on another page (your site or a landing page). New Breed, some time ago, conducted a test comparing the two solutions: on one side (on the right) the textual email, on the other (on the left) the graphic email. Needless to say, to win over in terms of clicks and conversions, it was the latter.
