“WordStream opened up an entire new business opportunity
to me. Without it I wouldn't have the time or inclination to
sell PPC management services on a large scale. Now I can
offer AdWords, Facebook, and Bing ads as an intro or add-on

Our consumer experiences and expectations are influencing our behaviour as a B2B buyer. Most sales reps however have not adapted their way of working to this shift in buyer expectations. For simple purchases, B2B buyers increasingly prefer ecommerce with no salesperson involved. Complex sales on the other hand still requires sales intervention. As consumers we shop online and use apps, e.g. Amazon, Netflix, and Booking.com, and we expect to find the information we need when we want it. Sales reps play no role or a minimal role in this process. As the current sales practices aren’t in line with B2B buyer expectations, many sales reps are boring their buyers. How can you stop boring your buyers and start delivering a better buyer experience?

Growing your members and subscribers is one of the core goals that a daily deal company should always continually be working on. Well, all web-based businesses for that matter. Email database size and promotional campaigns are extremely important in the daily deal industry. One of the ways that a deal site is valued is directly correlated with the size and responsiveness of the website’s email database. Remember to put focus no quality over quantity.

“No money. No time.” Four little words that come up every time we talk to a small business about their marketing strategies. And here are the four words we always counter with: “You’re already doing it.” You developed a product or service: that was a marketing activity. You tracked down customers: that was a marketing activity. You convinced them to buy your product or service: that was a marketing activity. You’ve been marketing since day one, doing it yourself and doing a good job. But at what point do you decide to do a better job, and how will you go about it? Agency59 has decades of experience working with both national brands and small businesses. Based on their collective experience, A59’s Marc Cooper (Partner) and Jason Dojc (Director of Strategy) take you through marketing tactics that small businesses can do themselves (there are more than you might think), and outline how ad agencies can further help entrepreneurs grow their businesses when the time is right.
