An innovative approach that allows better understanding and development of B2B customer knowledge

Firmography identifies companies by the qualities of their business, expertise, affinities, environment, level of maturity, sensitivities,…..

Firmography

Firmography consists in understanding and modeling
the organizational dynamics of companies.

Firmography is for B2B marketers what demographic data is for their B2C colleagues. While demographic data reveals information about a person (age, gender, nationality, income, etc.), firmographic data expresses the same thing, but for a company.

Company size, location, turnover, sector of activities ... typically constitute firmographic data.

These variables explain how businesses work and evolve. They can be used for commercial enterprises as well as for associations or public entities.

Firmographic segmentation is most effective when other segmentation methods fail to identify significant differences between your target groups.

Never heard of?

Yet the concept was developed in the 70's and you know it.

FIRMOGRAPHY IS A B2B QUALIFICATION METHOD THAT CONSISTS OUT OF CHARACTERIZING COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH DESCRIPTIVE ATTRIBUTES THAT THEN ALLOW THEM TO BE SEGMENTED AND EXPLOITED ON A COMPARABLE BASIS.

Interest of firmographic data

The more accurate and complete they are, the better the databases and the more effective your marketing strategies and communication campaigns will be.

Optimized exploitation of firmographic data allows:

TO CHECK THE RELEVANCE OF YOUR B2B MARKETS

Where are the companies you are targeting geographically located? How many employees do they employ? What is the value of each company? You do not waste time trying to find out if a company can really afford your product or service or whether it even needs it.

TO OPTIMIZE YOUR COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGNS

With better targeted and personalized messaging, aligned with the needs of each market segment, you can boost your campaign performance by focusing your business communication on the most likely organizations to be receptive and willing to buy your products or proposed services.

TO CLASSIFY COMPANIES WITHIN THE SAME SECTOR

Firmographic data enables B2B companies to rank their target companies by type of activity.

TO AVOID LOST OPPORTUNITIES

Optimizing marketing strategies on data mining reduces the risk of missing opportunities for businesses.

TO DETECT EMERGING TRENDS

An analysis of firmographic data allows professionals to identify current trends and developments. These trends can then be integrated into marketing and sales actions, making them more effective.

EXAMPLE OF FIRMOGRAPHIC EXPLOITATION

Imagine you are selling a logistics program that is tailored to a particular sector (for example, small distribution companies).

A relevant exploitation of the firmographic data will allow you to identify areas of geographical concentration (useful to know by your sales representatives), to identify the companies in growth, to identify those with strong digital maturity, to exclude those of unsuitable size, etc.
