Ironpaper focuses on helping industrial companies grow through demand generation and account-based marketing. We generate qualified leads, engage buyers, establish thought leadership, and nurture opportunities by educating decision groups.
Content, campaigns, and websites play an essential role. Buyer journey strategies focus on comprehensively engaging buying groups, which is necessary in industries with long sales cycles and complex decision factors. Educating and inspiring buyers is vital. We clearly articulate the value of the products, pinpoint the motivating factors of pain or need, and address the distinct perspectives of different roles within the buying group.

Industrial companies face unique challenges in marketing their products and services. With longer sales cycles, complex decision-making processes, shifting regulations, limited differentiation, technological change, and constantly evolving industry demands, B2B marketing for industrial companies requires a specialized approach.
At Ironpaper, we understand the importance of a sustainable customer development pipeline for industrial companies. We transform marketing programs into drivers of tangible growth for B2B industrials.
Ironpaper tactically utilizes a blend of demand generation and Account-Based Marketing (ABM) campaigns to cultivate a robust pipeline of qualified leads for industrial companies. Leveraging relevant channels, we ensure a constant flow of information to engage potential buyers. We prioritize creating and sharing substantial content, supplemented with thought leadership, to present a compelling narrative that caters to the viewpoints within a buying group.
Our approach focuses on engaging ideal buyers with a clear value proposition and addressing underlying pain points. A well-rounded buyer journey strategy effectively engages buying groups, acknowledging the long sales cycles typical in the industrial sector. Ironpaper builds a first-party data strategy to ensure marketing efforts generate outcomes and insights.
Industrial companies often struggle to acquire customers due to a few key challenges. Their solutions are usually complex, with a steep learning curve, making it hard for potential customers to understand the value and usage of the product entirely. Customers of these companies are risk-averse, which makes sales a complex chore. This complexity also lengthens the sales cycle as it requires more time to educate the customers. Sales cycles are often between one and five years long.
Many industrial companies operate in a highly competitive market where differentiation can be difficult. Winning customers is challenging without a unique selling proposition. Regulatory compliance is another significant challenge for industrial companies, as they need to navigate a labyrinth of ever-changing local, national, and international laws and standards, which can significantly impact their operations and marketability.
As the industrial landscape evolves rapidly, we empower businesses in their growth and revenue generation. Our focus? Guiding buyers through market changes and their evolving needs, all while considering risk factors.
Accessing buyers in the B2B industrial sector often presents a significant challenge. Unlike consumers in a B2C market, these buyers are typically limited in number, have complex requirements, and are often harder to reach due to layers of organizational hierarchy. Therefore, any possible customer loss hits harder, and customer acquisition becomes challenging.
It's essential to understand that these buyers are substantially more valuable. A single buyer in the B2B industrial sector can represent a significant contract, potentially providing a consistent revenue stream over a long period. Understanding customer needs, building trust, providing education, and establishing long-term relationships is critical. Marketing should extend to existing customers--and new business opportunity development.
