Industry Case Study

B2B Marketing in The Renewable Energy Sector

Marketing for the Renewable Energy Sector

Industry Overview

In 2023, having a solid marketing plan in the renewable energy sector is a must to keep you competitive! Renewable energy is a rapidly expanding sector on both the supply & demand side of the marketplace. However, service providers face a challenge when it comes to marketing their offerings. Sales cycles are often long, decisions about what systems to use are usually complex, and customers are very cost-sensitive.

Marketing Challenges

Effective marketing for the renewable energy sector has its hurdles. It is easy to get buried in technical jargon and buzzwords faster than you can say #microgrid. But…there is an opportunity for clean tech providers, solar, and renewable energy suppliers to create strategic, highly-focused campaigns. Understanding your audience and providing clear calls to action is critical.

Solutions

Start with the big picture. What is the overall business strategy for your renewable energy brand? How can marketing efforts support that strategy? Understanding your audience and building a relationship with them will be the top priority.

As cost is a key decision factor, businesses that see your marketing campaigns may also be searching for financial support that results in low to zero net costs.

Therefore, marketing in the renewable energy sector requires you to launch creative campaigns that provide solutions, cost incentives, and target their specific needs.

Take Aways

As energy systems that offset the cost, provide reliability and increase resiliency become more affordable, marketing in the renewable energy sector requires continual tweaking. We can help your team be creative with infographic design, PR, email campaigns, and Google Ads.

Our Clients In Renewables

VECKTA is an energy marketplace that helps you connect with vetted suppliers to plan your path to renewable energy, lower emissions, and freedom from the aging power grid.

While marketing for the renewable energy sector can be challenging due to the constant changes in areas like regulations and tax credits, we built VECKTA a marketing strategy, then implemented this through email campaigns, advertising, PR, and social channels. And at the end of 2022, we launched their new website!

We’ve helped VECKTA align sales and marketing efforts with a better website design that focuses more on UX or the user experience. Therefore, we’re making renewable energy solutions easier to access!

EDF Renewables is a subsidiary of EDF. EDF Powerflex provides distributed energy solutions for its customers in the commercial and industrial space with end-to-end solar, EV charging, battery storage, and microgrid services.

Marketing in the renewable energy sector can be challenging, however, we guided Powerflex through brand development and created a marketing strategy. As with many B2B niche markets, audience and channel considerations were absolutely critical.
