Custom Question Upgrade

Build on your eblast purchase by including a Custom Question Upgrade in your marketing plan - a question chosen by you! We have access to the industry titles and decision makers who are searching for content and solutions like yours. You know what's most important to learn from your prospective customers to get the ball rolling, let us help you start a dialog with them.

Tips for the Question:

We see the goal of this custom question as a way for you to further qualify the leads you receive for your sales team or marketing nurturing campaigns.

Broad BANT (budget, authority, need, and timing) questions drive the most responses. Passive opt-in question that directly asks for commitment (such as, "Would you like to be contacted by a sales representative?") discourage responses.
