Go Freemium with your B2B Marketing ContentMarketecture
油
The document discusses adopting a "freemium" business model for B2B marketing content, where the basic content is offered for free while premium or advanced features are charged for. It suggests that 5% of prospects who download free "lite" versions of content like whitepapers will purchase paid premium versions, effectively subsidizing the costs of engaging the 95% who take the free content. By using this model, the marketing department could become a profit center rather than an overhead cost, and companies could "uncover hidden profits" in their B2B communications.

10. Imagine this scene: it's the school holidays, and three brothers in need of pocket money start helping their dad count polythene bags into packs of 100 in the garage of their Windermere home. Do you think those lads had the faintest idea of where that would lead them? What our father, Alan Rayner, did that day was set my brothers and me on the way to building one of the leading kitchenware and homeware companies in the UK. I'm often asked to divulge the secrets of our success, but to be perfectly honest there are no secrets. We've simply stuck to dad's philosophy, 'always look after the customer and the business will look after itself'. Easier said than done, and even harder still to do well! Nevertheless, by dedicating ourselves to this vision, Lakeland Plastics has blossomed into what Lakeland is today. Not many companies actually make it to 40 years old and we know that without our loyal customers, the story would have been very different. So, on behalf of us all at Lakeland, it is my pleasure to express our heartfelt thanks to every one of you. 'always look after the customer and the business will look after itself'.
23. The customer database is the foundation of our business Essential data for a modern home shopping business: Consistent and persistent customer ID recognised across channels Customer product transactions at item level Payment records Address details & associated address level profiling data Communications history (inbound & outbound) including response attributes Some summarisations of detail to aid analysis efficiency Reporting, data mining & predictive modelling capability
24. Understanding customer profitability Typically, 80% of sales and >100% of profit will come from 20% of your customers. But which, and where did they come from ? Average Profit (贈) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 100 - 39 32 17 8 3 0 -3 -6 -11 % Contribution to profit % Contribution to profit 10 贈30 贈85 10 & 9 贈49 贈104 10 to 6 贈121 贈176 Decile * Profit Increase Average profit Removing 1 to 10 贈55 N/A -300 -200 -100 0 100 200 300 400 500 600
26. Testing, testing, 1, 2, n Test hold out groups Test segmenting messages Test channels/techniques that dont work yet Test products Test creative ideas Test relationships between creative & product Test, test & test again
27. For more, much more, on this See Kevin Hillstroms blog at: http://minethatdata.blogspot.com/
40. So How do we break out of seasonally orientated planning cycles? How do merchandisers plan & buy stock levels? How do we prevent customers being confounded by choice? How do connect our supply chain to our customer systems in order to provide the customer with specific delivery promises?
46. So So do we make specific, time bound, delivery promises which are a function of where the customer is and what they are ordering? How do we provide real time status updates on orders across multiple channels? How do we provide customers with control over how we communicate with them, particularly over order & payment status?
54. Marketing An alternative affiliate model use customers as affiliates Incentivise through micro-payments Create user-generated merchandising content
59. Social networks also inhabit virtual worlds e.g. Habbo Hotel & Second Lifes millions of residents
60. So How do we allocate funds to marketing activity when cause and effect is becoming harder and harder to discern? Should expertise in digital marketing be concentrated in a specialist E-Commerce team, or part of a Brand Marketing function? How do we ensure that our relationship with affiliates is a positive one? How much do we attempt to control the reputation of our brands?
66. So How do manage the mix of reduced price and full price activity? How do we, securely, create & control dynamic price promotions? Is there a role for dynamic pricing?
68. What makes a good presentation? The top features consumers look for when shopping online are: 1. Security (84%) - money back guarantees, trusted payment methods, visible credit card brands 2. Simplicity (78%) - clear layout, easy navigation, one-click payments 3. Detail (42%) - technical and logistical detail about products and services on offer 4. Comparison (30%) - user-generated comments, reviews, recommendations and comparisons 5. Imagery (13%) - a visually rich experience with video and photography to show and explain products and services on offer
79. So How do we optimise the journey through the website to maximise conversion to sales? How much investment should we make in creative assets? What is the right balance between form and function when creating interactive experiences? To what extent is a consistant brand experience important? What sort of product attribute data helps us sell? Who decides & who creates this data?
82. Or How do we go from. Life Expectancy: 100 years Life Expectancy: < 1 day
83. So How do we create a structured learning environment for e-retailing? Which is better: incremental or radical technical change ? Do we build it ourselves or do we buy package solutions? How do business processes & people need to change to support the new techniques & ways of working?
84. Summary The execution of the Lakeland brand continues to change The values underpinning the Lakeland brand remain constant The task of extracting maximum return from marketing investment is getting harder. The internet is radically changing business models and the way that we communicate.

#2: Thank you for that kind introduction. Its a pleasure to be here and a privilege to be able to meet some many fellow Cumbrian Marketers. My name is Tony Preedy and I joined Lakeland last year as Marketing Director, so Im still very much in the early stages of learning the Lakeland business. I will attempt however to share with you a little bit about the Lakeland brand and our approach to doing business. My previous roles were Group Marketing Director for the UK division of Otto UK, the largest Home Shopping company in the world, and prior to the Director of Targeted Marketing at Littlewoods Shop Direct Group, the UKs largest home Shopping company. I tell you this only so that you know where Im coming from. My experience has been in the Home Shopping sector, and has concentrated on Direct Marketing. Much of what I say tonight is going to be concentrated on these areas, but I believe that the issues Im going to talk about will matter to all whos business is concerned with selling in some form.
