PR holds key to communicating value in b-to-b marketing
Article Abstract:
Companies should enhance their public relations strategies to communicate the value of their business-to-business marketing campaigns to customers. The key is to develop a plan that takes into consideration how competitors publicize their achievements, what messages they deliver, which statistics they cite and which factors influence their positions. It is also important to constantly update public relations programs with business developments, new accounts, milestones in product development and changes in marketing strategies.
