What is Channel Marketing and how does it apply to B2B industrial companies?
Sometimes called "Channel marketing", "Trade Marketing" or "Partner Marketing", the idea is to enable your existing network of distributors to grow their business, priorizing your brand, ultimately benefiting your brand.
For example, it is typical for B2B industrial companies to not have a physical presence in every country in Asia Pacific. A typical approach is to fill the gaps where the company doesnt have existing presence with local distributors, who are already connected to the local ecosystem. Those distributors need support in order to perform and sell your products.
Typical benefits of channel marketing include:
1. Lead generation support - receiving a steady stream of inbound leads,
2. Strategic support - receive data-driven guidance about which accounts to target and approach
3. Sales support - having access to localized marketing content to support their sales activities
4. Telemarketing support - helping your distributors with a business development representative to perform outreach on specific accounts (strategic new accounts, competitors' customers, previous generation product users, etc.)
Channel marketing as a reward system
Many B2B leading industrial companies formalize "tiers" to organize their distributors and establish different levels of "marketing rewards", think of something like "Platinum", "Gold", "Silver", etc.
The level of investment in your distributors can be directly scaled in relation to their past year performance for example. Such level can also be used to validate a satisfaction level (eg. your distributor has been trained at a particular level) or contract clause (ability to perform a particular service, or exclusivity to sell a particular product).
