- But it’s not told through traditional channels anymore.We can now tell our own story through online vehicles such as:ArticlesBlogsCase studieseBooksPhotosPodcastsPress releasesVideosWebinarsWhite papers
- There will always be competition for their affection, so we as small businesses have stand out from the crowd in order to win the hearts and minds of our prospects and customers. We have to be remarkable and memorable, take chances, put their needs and goals ahead of ours, bring value to their lives and help them find success and happiness.And that’s where content marketing comes in . . .
- And the reality is, if you don’t, then someone else will take the time and fill that void in their life.The same is true in business. As marketers, our job is to know our prospects and customers. To match our knowledge and expertise with their needs for products, services and information.To put a face and name to the individuals we want to reach and influence
- But, as we learned in the dating analogy, it’s not about us, it’s about publishing information that our prospects, customers and other key audiences find valuable.
- Many people like to define a brand as “a promise.” I like to think of it as the sum of people’s experiences with and perceptions about you (personal) and your organization.Keep in mind that social media has altered how people interact with brands, and in many cases their online experiences can be the first and only impression they have.
- Public relations agencies, communications pros, freelancers, former journalists and traditional publishers are all in the conversation as possible sources, but many have yet to step up and evolve their capabilities to meet the growing demand for results-driven online content.
- 1. Strategic - Online content has to connect to your business goals and brand. Hire writers that understand marketing strategy, and how to deliver copy that integrates across web, search, social and public relations strategies. 2. Brand Centric - Your brand is a sum of experiences and perceptions. Words, images and actions define your brand everyday, and with inbound marketing, your website and content may often serve as the first (and possibly only) opportunity to make an impression. Business copywriting must convey core brand messages, tell your organization’s story and create positive perceptions that motivate action. 3. Buyer Persona Focused - Great copywriting makes personal connections with readers. Copy needs to speak directly to buyer personas, address their pain points and bring value. Therefore, your copywriters — whether internal or outsourced — must have a clear understanding of your organization’s target audiences, and know how to engage them. 4. Optimized for Search Engines - Online content must be crafted for visitors, but optimized for search engines. Ideally, business copywriters will have core SEO knowledge and capabilities. 5. Technically Sound - Technically sound copy is concise and powerful. It uses proper grammar and is written at the appropriate reading level. It is also consistent in person, voice, tone and format. Copywriters need strong technical writing skills, and the ability to apply these skills whatever the task, medium or subject matter. 6. Creative - Never underestimate the value of quality creative writing. While many of the other elements we’ve discussed can be learned, business-savvy creative writers are in high demand and scarce supply, and can be an invaluable asset to your organization. 7. Results Driven - Copywriting needs to be tied to your organization’s objectives, and should play a key role in delivering results (e.g. generating leads, educating key audiences, positioning as an industry leader, etc.). Copywriters should be invested in tracking the content’s success through metrics such as: pageviews, content downloads, leads and social media reach. This enables future content to be strategized based on past performance, and can encourage the incorporation of new ideas and topics, to drive traffic and capture audiences.

- Buyer personas are profiles or biographies on the distinct market segments (e.g. customers, prospects, mainstream media, bloggers) you plan to reach and influence. For a successful marketing campaign, it’s important to understand the goals, concerns and preferences of each of your buyer personas and to tailor your content and messaging accordingly. If done correctly, your target audiences will feel like you are speaking directly to them — answering their questions, addressing their concerns and using their language — thus increasing the likelihood that they will want to engage with your business.To help personalize your buyer personas and make them really come alive, it is often beneficial to give your personas names, distinct traits and even photos. Then, when creating strategy, visualize these archetypical people and direct your messaging to them. By defining and building strategy around your buyer personas, you will be able to better target communications and content, while potentially increasing efficiency and profitability.
- What has made online matching sites so wildly successful is the ability to connect people based on their profiles, the equivalent to the business world’s buyer personas. In dating, the more you know about someone and understand them, the better chance you have of making a real and lasting connection.
- MAD-R: Can afford the product/service, have the needed authority to buy, desire it, and respond similarly to a marketing mix.
- Tap into the knowledge of sales reps and other individuals who communicate with customers on a daily basis. They can probably provide you with some insight into your regular customers, just like I was able to do in the fast food example.Find out what your customers’ motivations, concerns and attitudes are. If possible, speak with current customers.But what if you’re a startup, releasing a new product or venturing into a new market? Or, what if you just don’t have access to historical data? Do a little digging. Research third party sources to gather the information. Here are some suggestions to begin your search:Look at existing publications geared toward your target market segments. What type of language do they use? How do they present their information?Do you see a lot of images, graphs, etc.? What are the hot topics they discuss?Find industry blogs. Who writes them? What are they writing about?Locate and browse social networks and forums that people in your target market segment use. Search for related groups on LinkedIn, Facebook and Ning. Do Twitter searches for keywords. Analyze what people are talking about online. What do they seem interested in? What challenges are they facing? What questions do they ask?Do a quick keyword analysis using a keyword tool. What words do people search the most often? What related keywords are being used? What long-tail keywords exist and what do they say about your potential buyers?Read analyst reports, news articles, government reports, etc. pertaining to your target market segments. Study related legislation. What laws and proposed legislation issues affect your market?Identify sample companies that fit into your market segment. Look at their Websites. Read their annual reports. Get a good feel for their size, structure, successes and challenges. See what you can learn from them. What can you do better? How can you differentiate yourself to really speak to your potential customers?Once you have gathered all the ingredients, create your buyer personas by answering questions about your target audiences based on research. For example; here are a few to get started:
- ROI Ivan here, who doesn’t care about awareness, engagement, search rankings or any other metric but sales. He doesn’t read blogs, as a matter of fact, he doesn’t even know what they are. His referrals come from his country club buddies, and unless it’s in the print version of the Wall Street Journal, it’s not news.But Ivan runs a $25 million financial services company, and his Gen Y son, who’s addicted to texting and social media, is 3 years away from taking over and transforming the business.
- Social Technographics classifies people according to how they use social technologiesGroups include people participating in at least one of the activities monthly except Conversationalists who participate in at least one of the included activities at least weekly. The Social Technographics Ladder Creators make the social content consumed by others. They write blogs or upload video, music, or text. Groups include people participating in at least one of the activities monthly except Conversationalists who participate in at least one of the included activities at least weekly. The Social Technographics Ladder Conversationalists voice their opinions to other consumers and businesses using vehicles like SNS and Twitter.

The Social Technographics Ladder Critics respond to content from others. They post reviews, comment on blogs, participate in forums, and edit wiki articles. Groups include people participating in at least one of the activities monthly except Conversationalists who participate in at least one of the included activities at least weekly. The Social Technographics Ladder Collectors organize content for themselves or others using RSS feeds, tags, and voting sites like Digg.com Groups include people participating in at least one of the activities monthly except Conversationalists who participate in at least one of the included activities at least weekly. The Social Technographics Ladder Joiners connect in social networks like MySpace and Facebook Groups include people participating in at least one of the activities monthly except Conversationalists who participate in at least one of the included activities at least weekly. The Social Technographics Ladder Spectators consumer social content including blogs, user-generated video, podcasts, forums, or reviews Groups include people participating in at least one of the activities monthly except Conversationalists who participate in at least one of the included activities at least weekly.

- Original research report targeting B2B marketers and publishers. Establishes thought leadership, engage influentials, drives traffic, search rankings, generates inbound links and PR opportunities.
- Traditional marketing budget formulas (e.g. percentage of revenue/assets, competitor benchmarks, etc.) are mostly irrelevant in today’s content-driven and community-based campaigns.Traditional budgeting pays for placement, breeds complacency, and lacks true connections to meaningful metrics such as Website traffic, inbound links, leads and sales.Inbound marketing pays for production and participation, and gives underdogs and innovators the ability to grow faster and smarter by outthinking, not outspending, the competition.
