Amplify Partner Marketing With PRM

Partner Marketing, The Holy Grail Of PRM

Brands need their B2B partners to strengthen on-ground marketing activities. This is one of the critical objectives for organizations to develop and invest in a strong partner network that is active, engaged, and result oriented. Brands can multiply their marketing efforts by providing a marketing setup that partners can access, operate, and benefit from.

PRM solutions help incorporate these marketing setups integrated into overall PRM initiatives and offer partners a holistic marketing and go-to-market framework. PRM simplifies marketing initiatives from the brand perspective. There are several requirements to partner marketing, and they are

• Access to brand assets
• Localizing and personalizing assets
• Access to communication tools
• Access to campaign tools
• Planning and scheduling activities
• Tracking and monitoring activities
• Tracking and monitoring budget and cost
• Measuring KPIs

Partners need access to the latest brand assets without going through multiple layers of requests and approvals. Enabling co-branding of marketing assets and helping partners deliver at ease helps the brand reach out to its end customers or prospects. Empowering partners to communicate and market on behalf saves time and helps spread the marketing effort at the ground level, where brands have limited or no direct access. A well-designed PRM framework accelerates brand marketing at grass root level efficiently.

PRM Boosts Lead Generation

Generating quality leads remains the essential goal for the brands and partners. Both have an equal stake in this process to stay effective and successful. Lead generation initiative has following characteristics:
