			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I tell people that &quot;marketing is marketing&quot; as a way to help people realize that the transition from traditional marketing to online marketing is about tactics moreso than it is about strategy.  If  you&#8217;re a really good traditional marketer, you will likely be a really good online marketer.  I find this to be true in most places.  One place where marketing differs, however, is B2B marketing.  </p>
<p>Running campaigns where your customers buys $1,000,000 widgets offline rather than $100 cogs by clicking the &#8220;Buy Now&#8221; button is a different world.  B2B marketers have to think differently and, once you get online, and take away the face-to-face sales effort which helps make B2B companies so successful, it can be a challenge.  Don&#8217;t believe me?  Take a look at the web sites of most B2B enterprises (e.g. chemical companies, shippers, device makers, etc).  Their sites look like the were built in 2000 with little updating since.  There&#8217;s a reason for that.  They don&#8217;t believe in the power of the web.</p>
<p>In our new Marketnology<sup>SM</sup> Insights whitepaper, we try to help them out.  It&#8217;s a lot easier to take action when you have an idea about the steps you can take to implement a plan.  The whitepaper, <a href="http://www.actuan.com/whitepapers/MarketnologyInsights-B2BMarketersGuidetoGettingtheMostfromYourWebPresence.pdf">B2B Marketer’s Guide to Getting the Most from Your Web Presence</a> details for B2B marketers a few technologies that they need to be paying attention to and shares a list of top vendors with products in each category.  Among the technologies included are Analytics, SEO, Targeted Email, Marketing Automation, Video and Mobile.  </p>
<p>Each of them has a lot of value for B2B marketers.  Together, they offer marketers a powerful set of tools for redefining themselves online &mdash; something B2B marketers have to start doing if they want to find more success online.</p>
