How do you target B2B advertising?

Today, B2B advertising offers many approaches to reaching your target audience. While it has traditionally been much easier for B2C companies (companies that sell to individuals) to target their ideal target audiences, it has been much harder for B2B companies (businesses that sell to other businesses) with a defined customer base to reach their target audience precisely.

B2B companies have niches that are smaller than entire industries and/or company sizes. Their ideal customer profiles are made up of many attributes including industry, company size, current performance, technographics and more.

At its simplest the dark funnel is just word of mouth – where people share their knowledge, experiences or recommendations about a product or service with others.

It can be both positive and negative and is often invisible to tracking by sales and marketing teams. Yet sales opportunities that enter the pipeline because of word of mouth tend to close more often and faster. This is not surprising as conversations start on a stronger footing due to the recommendation coming from a trusted source.
