Marketing for Manufacturers and Industrial Products
Marketing an industrial product to engineers and procurement teams is very different from marketing to consumers, yet many manufacturers apply consumer tactics that fall flat. This programme helps industrial marketers reach technical buyers through the right content, channels and distributor relationships. It reflects the long buying cycles, specification driven decisions and relationship dependence of industrial markets across Africa.
What you will be able to do
Understand how technical and procurement buyers evaluate industrial products.
Position products around performance, reliability and total cost.
Create technical content and materials that support the buying decision.
Build marketing that supports distributors and the field sales team.
Use trade channels, referrals and specifications to generate demand.
Measure marketing contribution across long industrial buying cycles.
