What do you know about B2B fintech?
Did a recent study of CFOs by Accenture find that nearly eight out of ten (79%) said the pandemic compelled a ramp-up of digital transformation?
Did you know that a Mastercard study of small businesses across North America reported that more than three quarters (76%) said the pandemic prompted a shift to more digitalization and 82% said they changed how their business sends and receive payments?
Or that Forbes predicts the number of public B2B fintechs will triple over the next decade, generating a surplus of $1T in total aggregate value?
It’s a tremendous time to be in the space, but the growth of this market also creates challenges for businesses. With fierce competition, the ability to stand apart becomes exponentially more difficult.
This is where content marketing comes in. The trick? You have to do it right.
An unfortunate 72% of marketers report their content marketing efforts are unsuccessful to only moderately successful. The pandemic also threw a wrench in things for many: 77% of B2B marketers report that their content strategy changed between pre-pandemic and now – and more than half (55%) said that change ranged from moderate to extreme.
Here’s the thing: without the right mentality, strategy, and will to execute, you won’t succeed.
On the flip side, a solid content marketing foundation can yield endless results, especially considering the desire for B2B decision-makers to consumer content has eclipsed their desire to speak to salespeople:
- More than half of B2B buyers (62%) said they engage with 3-7 pieces of content before connecting with a salesperson, and roughly one in ten (11%) said they typically consume more than seven pieces of content.
- Roughly half (51%) of B2B buyers said that research- and data-driven content was more memorable and more likely to trigger a sales call for them.
- Credibility matters: 41% of B2B buyers reported putting more emphasis on the trustworthiness of the source of content.
