What are the best marketing channels and tactics to influence life science lab equipment purchasing behavior? ResearchGate’s third Commercial Insights Report addresses just this. Using data curated via the ResearchGate platform, which surveys 1,400 life scientists, the new report addresses how best to market to life scientists, what encourages them to buy, and what doesn’t.
Here are a few of the key takeaways:
Alongside price, the three biggest influences on purchasing decisions are performance, manufacturer reputation, and peer recommendations. As such, a significant portion of a researcher’s decision-making is based on their pre-existing perceptions of the company and its products. While it may sound obvious, it’s critical to take steps to build trust with the target audience before a potential sales opportunity arises. Data strongly suggests that educational materials can improve your brand’s reputation and standing within the scientific community, along with other tactics you can utilize to help evangelize your product within relevant networks, in order to help drive a successful sales outcome.
The larger the purchase price, the greater the number of people and range of priorities you can expect to find in the buying group. Therefore, covering all the necessary social engagement channels to ensure a successful sale is key. The new report and webinar covers how your brand can achieve this – where it should be present and what tactics to deploy to help encourage a purchase at every stage of the funnel, targeting the variety of influential stakeholders involved in life science lab equipment purchase.
Did you know that lead-generation performance can grow >700% with the right content formats? But to achieve this, marketers need to get their timing right and utilize the best tactics to drive ROI.
