Email marketing is widely recognized as the most effective channel for B2B, offering unparalleled ROI and engagement. Despite its proven efficacy, creating compelling email campaigns is often a cumbersome and time-consuming task. According to the 2023 State of Email Workflows report, an overwhelming 62% of marketing teams spend two weeks or more crafting a single campaign. This significant time investment not only hampers productivity but also leads to missed opportunities and diluted messaging.

Spending two weeks or more on an email campaign presents significant challenges for marketing teams. Engaging with your audience only a few times a year due to lengthy production cycles can make it difficult for your brand to stay top of mind. Regular, consistent engagement is essential in B2B marketing, where it takes several touchpoints to move your audience and decision-makers further down the buying funnel. Additionally, the internal and external costs for review, compliance validation, personalization, and translation are high.

The complexity of B2B email campaigns

B2B email marketing is inherently complex due to several factors. Unlike B2C marketing, which often focuses on broad appeals, B2B marketing requires a deep understanding of the target audience’s specific needs, pain points, and business contexts. This level of personalization is crucial for effective communication but also significantly increases the time needed for campaign creation.

Key challenges in the process

  1. Building Emails: This foundational step involves more than just drafting a message. It requires designing a visually appealing layout, ensuring mobile compatibility, and coding the template. This step alone can take considerable time, especially if multiple iterations are needed.
  2. Content Creation: Crafting compelling content that speaks directly to your audience’s needs is another time-consuming task. It involves research, drafting, editing, and often obtaining approvals from various stakeholders.
  3. Collecting Feedback: Once a draft is ready, it needs to be reviewed by multiple internal stakeholders, including marketing managers, sales teams, and sometimes legal departments. Coordinating this feedback loop can add days, if not weeks, to the process.
  4. Testing: Before sending out an email, extensive testing is required to ensure that it renders correctly across different email clients and devices. This step is crucial for maintaining professionalism and effectiveness but is often a major bottleneck.

The impact of team size and resources

The time required to produce B2B email campaigns is also influenced by team size and available resources. Smaller teams, often with limited personnel, can find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tasks involved. According to the same report, many marketing teams are understaffed or under-resourced, further extending the time required for email production. Even larger teams, despite having more hands on deck, can face delays. Larger teams often handle a greater volume of emails simultaneously, adding complexity to coordination and increasing the potential for bottlenecks.

Strategies to streamline the process

Despite these challenges, B2B marketing teams can employ several strategies to streamline their email creation process:

Balancing quality and efficiency

The time investment required for B2B email marketing is substantial, reflecting the complexity and importance of these campaigns. While the process can be cumbersome, understanding the key challenges and implementing strategies to streamline the workflow can lead to more efficient production without compromising on quality. 

Educating your team about these strategies and encouraging the adoption of time-saving tools and techniques can transform your email marketing efforts. By addressing the common roadblocks and optimizing your workflow, you can reduce the time spent on creating email campaigns, allowing your team to focus more on crafting messages that truly resonate with your audience.
