Where should we set our expectations for our content efforts?
Expectations make a bigger difference than you might… expect. Setting expectations appropriately for where you’re starting is vital for paving a path to where you want to go.
-
When are we ready for or in need of a documented content strategy?
You may have heard you need a documented content strategy, but do you know why? Is a bad strategy that’s documented any better than a bad strategy that’s not? It depends on if your organization is ready to use the hard truths that come from documentation, or not…
-
Why do our buyers find certain content to be valuable or worthwhile?
“Why” questions are often the hardest to answer, but when it comes to content, why your audience finds certain things of value is essentially why you’re creating content in the first place. If this is a question your organization is asking, our eBook will hopefully be a useful reward in helping you find answers.
-
How do we balance our business goals with buyer needs in our content?
There’s always a level of push and pull in marketing. Managing the balance of what your organization wants to say and what your audience needs or wants to hear is vital for effective content. It’s definitely a useful question to ask, and one we hope we can help you answer.
-
And is there anything that helps to bring it all together?
In a word, measurement. We dig into why it’s so important, but at its core, effective content marketing is never a guessing game or a gimmick. It’s a process of continually understanding and improving to better serve your buyers, and better succeed at your business goals.
