    Email Marketing - Connect with Your Customers

    In episode 2, Andrew talks with Jason Anderson, General Manager of Brisbane-based email marketing specialists, Andzen.   Andzen consult on everything to do with Email Marketing, including platforms, methodology, and best practice for businesses of all sizes.    As Jason explains, email marketing is very well suited to both B2B and B2C businesses, with an increasing focus these days on intelligent automation.    Return on investment (ROI) is generally high for email marketing, making it an attractive option for businesses with more modest marketing budgets. In particular, a strong email marketing strategy has been proven to lead to an increase in repeat customers (eCommerce gold!)   A strong strategy involves nurturing your customers through their purchasing journeys, engaging with them at a very personal level (eg. product recommendations based on what they’ve bought previously), and leveraging automation and AI.   It’s important to note that email marketing is not just about trying to sell to your customers and prospects.   It could involve sending a post-purchase email on care tips for the product you’ve just delivered, or links to training videos, or ideas for creative product uses. This is especially powerful in a B2B setting, as you actually have the capacity to make the purchaser’s job easier through education and after sales service. This kind of engagement fosters loyalty and can lead to great word-of-mouth among purchasing circles.   Far from resembling the kind of ‘spam’ we all remember from the bad old days, today’s email marketing can make your customer feel like your brand is taking excellent care of them.  *********************************************** Connect with Andrew:   ·        Email – andrew.rogencamp@commercevision.com.au ·        LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-rogencamp-42b0141a/     Get to know Andzen: https://andzen.co/

    The Two Flavours of B2B

    There’s B2B, there’s B2C, and that’s all folks. Right?Wrong.You might never have thought of B2B in terms of ice cream, but believe it or not, there are distinct flavours out there (luckily not 31 - more like two!) In this, our kick-off episode, Andrew explains what the different flavours of B2B are, how to work out which you are, and why understanding the difference is so important.   Whether you’re doing business with manufacturers and distributors, or selling products for business use, knowing what type of B2B you and your customers are will provide actionable insight into the kind of eCommerce offering you should provide.  Your ‘B2B flavour’ can (or should!) affect every aspect of your customer’s experience:1.       The way your website looks and its content2.       The type of online functionality you offer3.       The nature of your email marketing campaigns  In this episode you’ll also learn why a B2B eCommerce website might not always net you more sales, but can still dramatically increase your revenue. Understand how a personalised online experience can beautifully integrate with ‘punch-out’ capability for purchasers. Hear examples of small businesses with very complex business rules that their eCommerce platform must cater for. At the end of the day, no matter what flavour your business is, “if you make it customer-focused, you can’t go wrong.” ***********************************************Connect with Andrew: Email – andrew.rogencamp@commercevision.com.auLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-rogencamp-42b0141a/
