Attention business owners and marketers! Please read the next sentence very carefully to make sure you get the message. Business-to-business (B2B) Internet marketing strategy and tactics have been reinventing themselves and are changing. The B2B consumer is now more demanding when it comes to your online information. Here are a few reasons why this is true.
+ The CMO Council/KnowledgeStorm reports that more than 45% of all B2B decision makers spend 5 or more hours per week online researching product & service information.
+ 89% of all business users and IT professionals state that online content has a moderate to major impact on their decisions about vendor selection. This means that 89% of your new prospects will look at your website before and during their decision making process.
+ The Direct Marketing Association predicts that by 2008, online marketing initiatives will be the dominant media for B2B marketing.
