Why is content so hard?

Wednesday, July 22, 2009 by Tiffany Sauder
I was reflecting on the past few conversations with clients and prospects and realized a theme - content. They are struggling with understanding exactly what to write about in their newsletter, post on their blog or speak about at an industry conference.

Intuitively, they know they have key pieces of meaningful information, but are having a hard time capturing and communicating it.

As a reminder, it does little good to have the tools to effectively execute on a successful marketing plan, but to not have the compelling message in place to get people engaged. You can't have a blog and never post, you can't send out one newsletter a year. You have to offer the market a constant stream of content to elevate your position in their hearts and minds.

Before you begin executing a marketing tactic, or sign another contract with a marketing vendor - stop and determine your content strategy first. If you're not comfortable, partner with an Indianapolis marketing firm or ad agency to supplement your content. This can be an effective way of ensuring your brand positioning strategy is interwoven with executing your strategic marketing plan.
