Content for Growth
If yours is a small and young business, your marketing should be focussed at least as much on awareness as on generating leads and converting them. To get new customers, they must first know you exist, learn more about you, how you are relevant to them, and how they can profit by aligning themselves with you.
This challenge is best met by marketing with content. Content markets by spreading useful, timely and relevant information. This is your highest priority until you have established yourself as a competent player.
Even after you've established yourself, content will introduce new prospects, and nurture them into customers who buy from you again and again.
High quality content works to build and nurture relationships, so the prospect feels favourable towards you. This positive emotion can be parlayed into a ready-to-buy mind-set—again through appropriate, contextual content.
Components of your Content
As a start-up or SME, your content needs can be brought under five headings:
Website: Your web content should be optimized to show up on searches for specific keywords; at the same time helpful to prospective visitors.
Sales Kit: The Sales Kit needs to be pulled together so as not to conflict with the online material; It should also have consistency and coherence.
Content Calendar: You may plan to run campaigns on search, email, social media or banners. It's useful to keep a monthly calendar that details the content and dates on which it is shared; it will include blog-posts, updates, social media posts, infographics etc.
Ideas and Reports: White papers and reports help establish you as an authority in your field. It is important to be a thought leader to whom others turn for opinions and ideas.
Tactical: You will need to develop content for events that happen either within your company, such as a new leadership hire, trade shows and conferences.
