How to Create an Effective B2B Lead Magnet

B2B lead magnet
Posted on by Kevin McGrath

Everybody (and everybody’s mama) has a lead magnet these days. Once upon a time, coming across a lead magnet was similar to spotting a unicorn in the wild: Rare, magical, and definitely unexpected. But not anymore. Even if you haven’t created your own lead magnet yet, you can be sure that your competitor has.

This begs the question: If the marketplace is already saturated with lead magnets, what’s the point of creating your own?

Lead magnets are still the number one way to generate business. That’s because no marketing strategy immediately delivers value to your prospective customers quite like a lead magnet can. Not only do they attract new leads, but lead magnets also enable you to build your email list so that you can continue to nurture relationships with your prospective customers. No doubt about it, the lead magnet is an essential marketing tool for B2B businesses.

And even if your competitor has a lead magnet, they may not have an effective lead magnet. Not all lead magnets are created equal, and that’s especially true for wooing a B2B customer. Your lead magnet needs to answer the concerns of a B2B prospect which differ from B2C needs. Because B2B sales cycles are longer and more complex, the lead magnet that you create must focus on building relationships (instead of pushing products).

In this post, let’s discuss how to create a B2B lead generating incentive from scratch.
