Good Marketing is Good Content

October 1st, 2009 Theresa Shafer

This week I have been developing content for a client’s website. We are helping them formulate a message that is intended to explain both their knowledge of their customers’ problems and how they are able to help.

Good marketing is really just good content.

It focuses on your customers’ problems and how they will benefit from your offering. It is not about your product features. It answers all of the questions–or at least all of the common questions–a customer will have they have as they consider buying your product or services.

Good marketing material should be useful, interesting, and even funny to your customers. Material should be clear and concise, it should be use the language that your customers normally use to talk about their challenges and their needs.
Here are a couple of examples we have worked with our clients on over the last year:

• Voler Provides Risk-Management for Leading Edge Components
• Interview with Tom Henderson from ADDS
• Trends in Project Health
