Wednesday, June 5th at 1pm ET

As we continue to invest in digital technologies and solutions, one of the most persistent challenges to arise is being able to realize return on investment and demonstrate expected value to the business. A common obstacle is that supplier adoption rates for the digital services and tools being provided is far too low. Solving this problem is becoming an urgent priority for an ever growing number.

In this webinar, we tackle the issue head on, exploring new methodologies and techniques, and introducing the emerging discipline of supplier marketing.

In the same way that we’ve seen digitalization and automation reshape the customer marketing experience, and just as we’re seeing the growth of employee marketing to attract and retain the best talent, so too should we expect supplier marketing to play an ever more important role in helping us to achieve the goals of better adoption and engagement, while improving the experience for our suppliers.

In the session, we will cover the following key topics: 

  • What are the main causes of friction and fatigue for suppliers
  • What is supplier marketing and how can it help
  • Top 6 recommendations to drive supplier adoption and engagement
