Many B2B companies with niche products have a concrete problem: their target market is small, specialized and difficult to reach online. Moreover, these decision makers often do not actively search for new suppliers, so traditional lead generation does not work sufficiently.
In this blog, we will show you how targeted B2B marketing strategies can help you become findable and remain visible to the right people.
In niche and smaller markets, it is sometimes tempting to think that you need to appeal to everyone who might one day be interested in your product. But especially in complex B2B environments, such as manufacturing companies or technical wholesalers, not everyone is relevant. It is therefore much more effective to target a small group of real decision makers. This starts with sharply defining your niche and understanding the division of roles towards the purchasing process. Who within the company decides on the purchase of your product?
In many niches, the market is small and purchase windows are less frequent. Maybe your customers only buy a new machine or system once every few years. This means that 95% of your target audience is not actively looking at the time of advertising: the 95-5 rule. This is precisely why it is important to have a long-term and consistent presence; there is no shortcut to successful online B2B marketing.
LinkedIn is a powerful channel for B2B niches. After all, you can target very specifically by job title, sector, company size. If you properly identify who your target audience is and who the decision makers are, LinkedIn is a valuable channel to use.
Google Ads is also an essential channel for a successful marketing strategy. In niche markets, search volume may be low, but intent when using relevant search terms is high. The target audience often uses jargon or specific terms, making targeted ads possible. This way you are visible to the right people at the right time.
Using YouTube to complement your strategy is particularly effective, even though YouTube is sometimes overlooked in B2B. YouTube offers the ability to show short videos that visually address decision makers. Moreover, you can advertise in a targeted manner by targeting specific keywords that your target audience has already used on Google. Think of technical product names, product applications or industry terms. That way you know that your target audience has already been actively searching.
Being visible in a niche market requires strategy, persistence and technical knowledge of your target audience. With the right strategy, you can still be found, even by people who weren't looking.
