- Before I start I want to understand your needs in interests in the room. Who in the room is regularly creating content?Who has enough content to fuel your marketing programs?What are some of the content challenges you are facing?Today’s session takes what we do with clients over a 12 week engagement and distills it into some practical advice for you.To make the session even more practical we will take a look at some real life examples and with you help demonstrate how to get to better content.
- Let’s define better
- You are already very good at talking about yourself with credentials, product info, about us.To double check just look at your site navigation. It likely includes “our products”, “our services”, “about us”, “our news”.And customers appreciate it because you are a pretty cute kid.But as we talked about last year at elevate 2010 it is not just about you, it is about what your customers want.Think of the cocktail party guest who only talks about himself. He is never that interesting!
- Practical content, described in their words, and useful information as they go through the stages in their decision making process.
- Aligned to the stages in their decision making process from defining the problem or opportunity, to evaluating alternatives, to negotiating and committing to a decision.
- We have 4 better content practices we want to share today.
- Being customer-focused takes discipline.We recommend using a simple framework like this one to get there.Who is your target audience?What are their needs & pains?Which needs & pains can you help with?Group into 4-6 categories to organize and guide your contentUse those categories to categorize your resource center and blog
- Being customer-focused takes discipline.We recommend using a simple framework like this one to get there.Who is your target audience?What are their needs & pains?Which needs & pains can you help with?Group into 4-6 categories to organize and guide your contentUse those categories to categorize your resource center and blog
- Light content is a terrific way to initially populate a resource center and to keep it fresh.
- Developed for one purpose –sales collateral – but also valuable in other channels
- Extract individual topics as separate content assets. More focused content makes it more findable, relevant, and useful.When was the last time your read a 12 page white paper from start to finish. Real customer behaviour skims documents looking for the subject they are interested in.Publish your repurposed content in light formats like posts, checklists, 1-pagers.
- Curation gives several advantages.Sharing 3rd party heavy content delivers value and often extends a brand halo to your resource center.Light 3rd party content allows you to rapidly test topics and keywords.
- You have invested in developing your content.Make sure it is easily findable
- Measure contentfindability and engagement to identify content gaps and opportunities.
- Be customer focused1. Using customer language to describe your content2. Using customer needs and pains to organize your content3. Don’t only organize by format. Your customer is not looking for a PDF they are looking for the answer to their need-are you using a content strategy-not using customer needs and pains to organize your content see resource categories and blog categories-build category pagesFindable1. Content merchanzing on key pages (home page, resource center home page, blog, and sidebars)2. Titles, descriptions, and For More Information-place links to most valuable resources on home page-make sure your carousel is SEO friendly (not flash)Light formats1. Break up your heavy content to expose valuable single topics-put “as is” content and blog posts into resource centerMeasuring results and planning -aks yourself if you are featuring content that is working
