B2B marketers have a variety of media channels available for customer acquisition. There's direct mail, email, search engine marketing, trade shows, online advertising, offline advertising ... the list goes on and on. How do you decide which medium is the best for your prospecting efforts? And once you've identified the right media channel, where do you go to find the most effective sources?

In this information-packed session, we will discuss the media opportunities available to B2B marketers for customer acquisition. We'll cover the standard workhorses, like mail, phone and trade shows, as well as the new options, like prospecting databases and insert media. We will also introduce some very new tools that are showing signs of positive results for B2B direct marketers.

Join us for a 90-minute review of B2B media selection in direct marketing, covering the media options available and how to think about applying them to your customer acquisition campaigns.
