ABM is a new term for a time-tested strategy designed to humanize marketing and deliver value by being personal. Built on the principle that itās better to focus on a few high-performing key clients than it is to search out large numbers of new ones, B2B account based marketing treats individual accounts as a market of one. Marketing and Sales hone their focus on a single, high-value business account with multiple stakeholders, as opposed to targeting to an entire industry or vertical. In turn, this allows organizations to treat their target audiences as (gasp!) humans.
Sales and Marketing teams must work closely together to achieve success in any B2B account based marketing campaign. The Marketing teamās expertise in metrics, intelligence gathering and optimization should inform the Sales teamās outreach efforts to key accounts. Sales provides feedback to Marketing to identify potential new accounts. Account based marketing best practice is that the Sales and Marketing teams work together as a unit on revenue-generating activities, collaborating to create a strategy that is unique to each key account.

BillingTree is an industry leader in payment processing, with a focus on technology-driven innovation. Their goal for this account based marketing campaign was to connect with as many small and large businesses as possible to show how their payment solutions can improve an organizationās customer experience while also improving their bottom line.
BillingTree was trying to implement a B2B account based marketing strategy using direct mail with gift cards as an incentive to connect with their customers. The sales process sounded simple: if a client scheduled a sales presentation, they received a gift card. Unfortunately, their ABM tactics werenāt working.
Nobody wanted to book meetings. When they did get an appointment scheduled, the result was often a face-to-face meeting with someone unable to make decisions for the company ā a frustrating waste of resources for both parties.

BillingTree needed to talk to the decision-makers at their key accounts. As a company on the leading edge of financial technology, they wanted a technological solution.
We leveraged account based marketing best practices and targeted BillingTreeās top 100 prospects with a high-value deliverable that would immediately capture their attention and leave a lasting brand impression.
For this account based marketing campaign, our team strategized, designed, manufactured, and mailed 100 rugged locking cases, branded to BillingTree and secured with two combination padlocks. The exterior of the case and an accompanying personalized notecard explained that inside there was an Amazon gift card worth up to $100. The catch? We didnāt include the combination.
These key account prospects we targeted in this account based outreach, mostly C-Level executives, were in for a second surprise. Opening the case revealed a fully branded interior with a video player embedded in the lid. The video player automatically activates whenever the case is opened, playing an animated video created by UviaUs specifically for this ABM campaign.

Over 60% of the prospects who received the mailing have reached out to BillingTree, and 15% of those prospects have converted to opportunities. To date, BillingTree has closed over a quarter of those opportunities, with a revenue of $159,902.
