The source of the 95-5 rule: at any moment only about 5 percent of your buyers are in market, so most brand spend is aimed at future demand. It is the evidence base for arguing brand budget with a CFO.
How B2B Brands Grow
From LinkedIn B2B Institute by LinkedIn B2B Institute with the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute Report hub
- Double jeopardy law: loyalty follows penetration, so growth comes from acquiring new buyers, not loving existing ones harder.
- The 95-5 rule: almost all of your market is out of market right now, which is why brand beats pure performance spend.
- For B2B brands, lack of awareness is a far bigger problem than active rejection.
- The job is mental and physical availability: be easy to bring to mind and easy to find in a buying situation.
