B2C vs B2B Go-To-Market Strategy Smackdown

Event Interactive 2011
Format Solo
Organizer Alexander Will Spoonfed Media
Description Whether your company offers B2C or B2B web services, SaaS or online content, a strong go-to-market strategy is an essential prerequisite for a successful product. In this presentation, attendees will learn about the differences between B2C and B2B go-to-market strategies, how they can apply elements from either set of strategies to their company's go-to-market plan and specific ways to improve marketing, PR, communication, distribution, sales and social channels when bringing a new product to market. Gaining an understanding of the key channels, challenges and opportunities of bringing both B2C and B2B products to market will provide two major benefits to attendees. They will not only get specific tips on how to bring a product to market in their own sector but will also learn how consumer or business communication channels can enhance their strategy even if that is not their target sector. Attendees will leave with a stronger arsenal of go-to-market ideas they can implement in their own business and use to steal a march on competitors who limit strategy to traditional channels for their product sector.
