Top B2B Social Media Marketing Myths
By Green Hat
In the world of B2B marketing, there are several myths around the role social media plays in marketing. However, it’s crucial to debunk these misconceptions and fully harness the opportunities these platforms offer in the business world.
In the article, “Top B2B Social Media Marketing Myths,” written by our Australian partner Green Hat, we explore the 7 common myths and explain why it’s essential to implement social media strategies in modern B2B marketing.
Here are the 7 common myths summarized:
- 1. Social media doesn’t work for B2B. Although social media is not the only medium for B2B marketing, it is crucial by adding value in areas such as brand awareness, lead generation, and client relationships.
- 2. Social is a separate plan. The integration of social media strategies, content, and metrics is essential for an effective digital marketing plan. Social media is a crucial component for gaining a deeper understanding of your clients and their interests.
- 3. LinkedIn is the only worthwhile channel. While LinkedIn is important, other platforms like Facebook and Instagram also play a significant role in B2B decision-making.
- 4. Social is only for lead generation. Social media has multiple uses, from enhancing brand awareness to personalizing campaigns and managing reputation.
- 5. Social has to be automated. While automation is useful, it isn’t always necessary. Finding a balance between automation and human touch is essential for B2B marketing success.
- 6. Social media isn’t measurable. Contrary to belief, social media is highly measurable and can align with clear B2B marketing objectives, such as reach and generating quality leads.
- 7. Fancy tricks are for B2C. Videos, gifs, memes, cinemagraphs - these aren’t just gimmicks for B2C. B2B audiences are just as interested in these techniques, especially when the information adds value and tells a story.
