Webinar: The Opportunity Cost of PPC

January 19, 2010
11:00 amto11:30 am

What would happen if you turned off all PPC advertising for a month? This is exactly what the YouSendIt marketing team did last October, a risky maneuver which ended up proving the value of their search marketing program.

In this 30-minute case study webinar, an Enquiro client shares her recent B2B/B2C marketing success that has been driven by paid search.

1. Improved SEM performance through proper segmentation of campaigns

We take a look at how YouSendIt increased the number of subscriptions to their service by 70% while also reducing overall ad budget. Strategic adjustments effectively reduced cost-per-click by 18%, and increased the amount of qualified traffic from paid search.

2. The importance of nurturing a lead

Once they’re in the door, it’s important to maintain the conversation. Search marketing’s effectiveness increases when coupled with email nurturing.

3. Demonstrating the value of search internally

YouSendIt’s Director of Product Marketing, Angela Sanfilippo, was faced with the challenge that many marketers face: prove to the board that the money you’re spending on paid search is actually driving revenue. In this webinar, Angela walks us through the numbers and her approach.

Case Study Background
YouSendIt offers an online solution for independent professionals and businesses for sending, receiving and tracking large files and digital content without email and ftp limitations. YouSendIt has over 10 million users across 220 countries. Prior to initiating an SEM partnership with Enquiro, YouSendIt was running a paid campaign that drove few leads and qualified visitors at a high cost per lead of $442. They needed help in developing a more robust sponsored search strategy that would increase the number of registrations and subscriptions while reducing overall costs.

Webinar: PPC Strategy Gets Specific for B2B Purchase Types

October 20, 2009
11:00 amto11:30 am

Enquiro’s BuyerSphere research project identified three distinct purchase types in B2B. In this 30-minute webinar, we take a closer look at how to adapt your Pay-Per-Click advertising campaigns to the reality of how your buyers buy: Repeat Purchases, Repeat Modified, or Blank Slate. PPC campaigns can’t use a one-type fits all strategy, and by targeting buyers to these three segments you will meet and improve your campaign objectives. We cite examples of how to tailor ad creative, landing pages, and measurement to specific B2B purchase types.
In this webinar, you’ll learn

  • How to identify where your company fits with regards to purchase types
  • Tips on which ad messaging works for identified purchase type
  • Landing page design best practices, specific to different marketing scenarios
  • Gain a better understanding of how PPC can drive the demand gen. process

The Rise of the Digital Native

Have you ever learned a second language as an adult? If so, you realize how hard it is to achieve fluency in it. Yet children seem to become fluent in languages effortlessly. Today, digital proficiency is just like another language. Some of us learned it as adults, and some of us grew up with it. In our research, together with that of others, we learned that native fluency in the language of online, referred to as being a Digital Native, can significantly alter online behavior. Digital Immigrants are those that adopted technology as adults. The divide between these two generations can affect everything from how email is used to how social connections are built and maintained. It also affects how they use online resources as B2B buyers. We look at the differences we discovered today, and look forward to what it might mean for B2B buying in the future.

Panelists:
Gord Hotchkiss
– President and CEO, Enquiro
Rand Fishkin – CEO and Co-Founder, SEOmoz
Danny Sullivan – Editor-in-Chief, Search Engine Land

Using Your Web Assets as a Business Building Platform

Many vendors believe that a website is primarily for lead generation, but Enquiro’s research into B2B buying behaviors indicates that an effective web presence can not only effectively support the entire sales process, but can also build lifetime value with existing customers. Online provides the perfect platform to create an ongoing connection with both prospects and customers. Learn how to create clear persuasion paths online, how to use email and other online communication channels to start and maintain trust building conversations with prospects and how to create a virtual connection with existing customers to maximize long term relationships. We also explore the importance of the “digital portfolio”, a look at how your web presence today can extend far beyond the boundaries of your own website.

Panelists:

Gord Hotchkiss – President and CEO, Enquiro

Maximizing Your Online Touch Points

B2B marketers have to consider the many ways a prospect touches a brand, its messaging and product offerings online. As research has shown, business buying can be very complex, often undertaken by a group of individuals and stretching over a long period of time. Successful marketers are able to help buyers along the way, while effectively reducing the risk gap that exists between the vendor and buyer.

What are the typical online paths that business buyers follow? How do they navigate between vendors’ sites, general search engines, directories, vertical search, and social networks? For the marketer, which mediums and channels work best, and in which order? How can engagement and momentum be carried over between touch points? What role does search marketing play in B2B, and how can it best be leveraged?

In this webinar, we take a closer look at Enquiro’s latest research on B2B online marketing and how it can be applied to two different sample companies for integrated, multi-channel online campaigns.

Panelists:

Gord Hotchkiss (presenter) – President and CEO, Enquiro
Ben Hanna – VP Marketing, Business.com
Matthias Blume – Chief Analytics Officer, Covario
Bill Barnes (moderator) – EVP Business Development, Enquiro
