Your B2B Influencer Strategy: How to Get it Right

Social Media Marketing — Tue., Oct. 13, 2020

Influencing can be a valuable strategy for B2B companies, but it is important to approach it differently than for B2C. Passion is essential for creating energy and trust, so finding influencers who are already passionate about your business and are naturally likely to buy your product is key. It is also important to focus on building relationships rather than one-time financial exchanges. To find influencers, start with online groups and forums and don't forget to tap into the passion within your own organization.

Creating meaningful and lasting influencer partnerships involves making sure your values and identity are clear. Additionally, B2C brands often engage with their audience on a lifestyle level, so don't forget to break out of the commercial mindset to make your influencer strategy successful. Talking to employees and customers can give you invaluable insight into what they want and need. Finally, consider starting a group or conversation yourself if you can't find a relevant one.

To sum up, B2B influencing requires finding people who are already passionate about your business and building relationships with them. It is important to cultivate a community and make sure your values are clear. Additionally, don't forget to engage with your audience on a lifestyle level and tap into the people within your organization who already have passion for what you do.
