What is business marketing ?

Business marketing (or any marketing) is defined as "indentifying and satisfying customer needs"

So as you can see, it's quite comprehensive and is probably different to how a lot of people see it. Marketing is not just communcation and TV advertising. First of all you need to find a customer need or problem.

Most companies go around it the other way and develop a product and then find customers who may need it. Sometimes this can work but most times it fails.

So start off your business marketing with thinking about customers (ie: you and me) and what their needs really are.

Customer demographics and benefits

Once you have a need you need to clarify who these customers really are. You need to understand their demographics. This can range from gender, age, geograhic location and wealth. For example, some car insurance companies only target women over the age of 25. This is very specific. The more specific you can be to indentify a niche the more successful you will be.

Before you can communciate to customers you also need to list the benefits of the product or service you have developed that these customer actually want.

Customers buy on benefits, generally emotionally and not features.

A benefit could be time saving and feature would be "can be read online"

Remember that benefits sell. Even if you don't do any of the above, if you can list your benefits you will win more.

Marketing communications strategies

Now it's time to tell your customers about your wonderful products and services.

This will be made easier if you have done your homework on the demographics of your customer base. If they are only online - it's easy. If they all live in London and travel on the tube it's easy.

Again, if you have a clear niche it's going to be easier to target your customers than not.
