ID WHOLESALER • OSISOFT

Small Buying Windows Require Cohesive, Multi-Touch Engagement 

ID Wholesaler provides photo identification products to more than 100,000 organizations. Its largest vertical market is the education segment with a focus on K-12 schools. Since more than 50% of sales take place in the summer months leading up to the school year, ID Wholesaler developed a campaign based on three factors: 

  • Start with the customer in mind: ID Wholesaler took insights from end-user interviews at schools to develop content on the importance of increasing security through visual identification of students and ensuring students get their badge at the beginning of the school year.
  • Establish sales and marketing alignment: The company developed an internal “Game of Thrones”-themed campaign where sales teams were divided into Houses and given quotas and special incentives.
  • Engage with content through a multi-touch campaign: ID Wholesaler created various pieces of content to address specific customer needs. This included white papers on how to choose the right printer for specific badge requirements, video tutorials for designing ID cards, a custom lanyard kit to sample and case studies. Channels used included weekly personalized emails with nurturing tracks and sales rep outreach based on product category gaps with existing customers. This was supplemented with content syndication, social media outreach and direct mail targeted to non-customers.

Bingeable Content Portals Encourage & Track Engagement

OSIsoft, a manufacturer of application software for real-time data management, needed a more scalable way to engage prospects and customers with its rich content library. The company struggled to guide prospects on their path to purchase and connect customers to relevant content for on-boarding. As a result, OSISoft partnered with PathFactory to develop curated content streams for their myOSIsoft Customer Portal.  

The team also needed to revamp their prospect nurture streams to encourage re-engagement but didn’t have access to the analytics they needed to see how the content was performing. They used PathFactory to serve curated streams using Content Tracks so buyers could self-navigate through relevant content. In addition, a new content syndication strategy was developed using time-based forms so prospects could engage with content for up to 20 seconds before filling out a form to access more. This was especially helpful during the release of a high-value white paper called “The Digital Mine: How to Implement Predictive Maintenance.” 

Thanks to content engagement data that revealed how much time was spent on each asset, the OSIsoft team is now able to serve buyers the content they need on the channels they prefer — all while accessing analytics in one place to optimize the GTM strategy. 

In addition, for both the nurture and  content syndication programs, OSIsoft experienced:  

  • 3.5X increase in conversions in 30 days for unknown users; and
  • 16X increase in influenced opportunities over eight months.

Putting relevant content in one place to encourage bingeing helps streamline the decision-making process and encourages self-navigation.
