10 Best Tools for Account-Based Marketing in 2022
For a few years, account-based marketing (ABM) has been the hottest topic in the B2B world. Companies are concentrating on acquiring specific high-value customers with highly targeted, personalized campaigns, basing the targeting and marketing message on particular attributes of an account.
Without technology, it's impossible to deliver an effective ABM strategy at scale. Therefore, more and more companies are investing heavily in various account based marketing tools and platforms .
Account-based marketing technology gives marketers the ability to build scalable, personalized marketing campaigns, measure their results against a set of key performance indicators, and prove revenue contribution.
The term account-based marketing was first introduced in the 90s; however, this method becomes useful only when supported by the right combination of tools and process. Hence, the method only recently took off thanks to the last years' upswing of account-based marketing software vendors.
The technology facilitates the alignment of sales and marketing departments and allows creating personalized buying journeys. Users can offer tailored paths for visitors to take when they come to their homepage, making them more likely to navigate through them.
To succeed with the account- based marketing strategy, you need to have an efficient inbound methodology. With a clearly defined target audience, marketing departments can better categorize and evaluate leads and move them further along the sales process. It also allows content marketers to create content that speaks to the specific pain points of the right target accounts.
Therefore, one of the key success factors for an ABM program is the specificity of your target account lists. Unfortunately, if you’re solely relying on basic firmographic data points, you might notice that you’re not always able to find the companies you’re looking for. This is especially true if you’re trying to approach a specific vertical that is not part of a national or international standard industry classification system. Vainu's AI-based industry classification system solves this issue. If you want to find out how Vainu Custom Industries can help your account-based marketing campaigns, we've got the article for you—read it here.
