Can your potential customers find fresh information about your business online from trusted sources?
Today there are so many possibilities for companies to spread their own news that the question arises if there is still the need for hiring a PR agency?
Everyone experiences the omnipresent overload of information when they are looking for information on products online. You start researching and are soon overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of information. The same happens to your potential customers researching for products like those of your company. They are looking for solutions to their problems, for information they can trust, for trusted expertise.
Provide a level of insight which your competition can’t
Users are getting more and more impatient with click bait headlines which leads them to authentic niche media like the trade media as trusted and curated sources. But public relations is no longer only about feeding into a traditional news cycle; it's about providing relevant content when, where, and how your prospects, influencers, and customers will consume it.
Beside the traditional channels people are also using social media platforms and your website to get enlightened. This means you should supply comprehensive case studies and information about how your product solves needs and distribute it via various channels. Other types of content that are most valuable to your potential buyers are:
· Articles addressing common problems in your industry and how leveraging your product or service will help your prospects address them.
· Industry wide trend reports that aggregate industry-insider learnings for your potential buyers.
If there is no current online content on your company, you may never hear from a prospect at all
And here comes the next challenge: if a potential customer looks for information about products that might solve his problem, he demands current information on it. If the news is outdated he will most likely turn to your competitor who offers fresh insights and seems to be more up-to-date. Share best practices and industry trends so that your audience is educated on what they’re looking for and what to expect in this journey, while also subliminally letting your leads know that you’re the subject-matter expert. Deliver the insights in a format that respects the value of people’s time. Your company’s message should be as short as possible, with no unnecessary fluff.
Meet your B2B target group on the Social Web
Creating high-quality content that is interesting for your target audience and at the same time supports your corporate goals is usually associated with a great deal of effort. Often you have to spend days researching, compiling content and fine-tuning the wording. You will need almost as much time to successfully distribute the content across all social media channels and ensure that it is widely spread. After all, the best place for your content is where more and more users spend their time and consume content - on the Social Web. It should be your aim that current information on your products can be found online. B2B content marketing is of critical importance for digital marketing. It’s become absolutely fundamental to success in today’s B2B landscape. Whether you’re a large multinational brand or niche technology company, content marketing should be a core component of your digital strategy because it is the core lead converter and revenue earner in 2019.
A boutique agency with a focused niche leverages expertise in digital and social and helps you to stay relevant with customers in these disruptive times.
