Editor's Notes
- Welcome Chris and mention we will take questions at the end
- Conversational content. Not about a 1 way promotion, but now about starting that conversation. Getting people to interact.
- I find it interesting that this stat even exists considering B2B and B2C buyers are the same people.
- I am sure everyone has been to a blog and been turned off immediately by how it looks, or landed on a site and before you had time to even read the first sentence a pop-up covers your view. Your customers live in a world of Spotify and Netflix. The expectation of personalized content experiences has been set. B2B marketers need to adapt to buyer expectations. Those who do will win over customers by recognizing each individual and providing personalized experiences based on their unique interests, behaviors, and needs.
- But why? And what kind of results could you expect?
- -but when i go to events i know you are talking about these hot topics -that’s ok as a CMO I obsess over them to
- -but when i go to events i know you are talking about these hot topics -that’s ok as a CMO I obsess over them to
- -at the heart of all of these marketing campaigns sits content. By personalizing that experience around those customers you will see more engagement, better conversations, more leads, and happier customers.
- We recently launched a Content Experience Report using real data from B2B marketers like yourselves and we found overwhelming evidence to support why experience matters. The way you gate content matters. Putting a CTA overtop of your content has a 17 percent conversion rate! That’s 7x the conversion rate of a traditional landing page. Putting your content in more than one place can increase views by 8x on average! AI works! Personalized recommendations increases the chances of a visitor consuming more content than generic recommendations by 60%.
- Uberflip recently launched The Content Experience Framework. This framework arms marketers with a scalable approach to creating personalized content experiences for any stage of the buyer journey. The framework can be applied across all B2B marketing strategies such as inbound marketing, demand generation, account-based marketing, and sales enablement. Chris and I are going to walk you through each of the steps and provide examples of what you need to do to easily scale content to match your buyers behaviors.
- People think they don’t have content but that’s because they only look at what they’ve created recently, not their entire library 70% of content in an organization sits unused As marketers, we know our customers are engaging on a variety of channels and we need to make sure we engage with them where they already are. The problem with that is, the content we work so hard to create is living all over the web on earned channels, rather than on our own owned channel. Centralizing allows us to bring all that content together into a controlled owned, experience
- All of your content whether that be blogs, videos, slideshares, social posts, or podcasts need to be centralized in one place so that you can build experiences based on your customers behaviors and interactions/
- This part is foundational. The non-sexy, behind the scenes work that’s required to create the amazing personalized content experiences in minutes. Now that you have your content in one place, next step is to think through your strategy for the buyer journey How are your customers finding their information/content/or answers to questions What do you want the end-to-end experience for each persona to look like Once you have outlined that, then you must build out a tagging structure to reflect it.
- At Uberflip we tag our content by persona, topic, stage of funnel, content type, and product line. It’s really important that you think about this because setting up the proper tagging structure allows you to scale the organization and creation of collections of content you’ll need to personalize experiences. This is also where recommendations and AI comes into play if you have the technology available.
- Now here’s the fun part. Creating personalized experiences that show your prospects and customers that you’re a business that understands their interests and needs. People crave personalization. In fact, they have come to expect it. When you think about personalizing experiences you need to consider the branding, is it contextual, does it compel your audience to take actions. There is no one size fits all approach. When you’re thinking about building out your content experiences, we find it is best to approach it by the different marketing tactics your team is focused on - Inbound, Demand Gen, ABM, Sales Enablement.
- Hub from customer of ours Alight organized content by solution, partner, or type to reflect their buyers search patterns. The content is housed and is a beautiful environment that compels engagement. Inbound Marketing Take your content personalization to the next level by building experiences around your content that are optimized for engagement and conversions.
- Demand Generation Make the click matter by creating content experiences that are personalized, engaging, and drive conversions from your email, advertising, social, and direct mail campaigns. Just like TouchBistro try creating collections of content that match your email nurtures to enhance the experience.
- Account-Based Marketing Power your ABM strategy and engage your target accounts with personalized content experiences that accelerate pipeline and drive sales. One of our customers Snowflake uses Terminus ads with dynamic copy to insert their target account name and links them to a custom destination with matched to the account
- Sales Enablement Every minute a sales rep spends creating content is a minute they are not selling. Empower your sales team with content to engage prospects to sell efficiently at a higher velocity. Create a hub or collection of content and provide clear instructions on what each piece of content is meant for. Then using your tagging structure you can enable your reps to mix and match content based on the needs of the prospect and create personalized experiences to house content. This is awesome because throughout a sales cycle you share a lot of content, so enabling reps to keep all the content in one place for each prospect shows that you’re not only organized but that you have been listening to the prospects needs.
- We can do everything right up to this point, but if we fail to infuse this into our integrated marketing campaigns then what’s the point? Content is what’s driving your demand gen and you need to think about what experience you’re sending people to. Content experience is not just for the content marketer. Demand generation needs to get involved here and realize the importance of content experience. When you send out a tweet, launch ads, or you send an email—as a marketer—are you thinking about the experience you’re sending them to?
- Here’s a great example of one of our customers Blackbaud. They create personalized streams that match to their email campaigns. Doing this on this campaign alone influenced more than $100,000 in pipeline and counting. The emails themselves contributed to a 33% opportunity to deal conversion rate.
- This isn’t just about having a great brand, it’s about driving business results You can get results today if you put in the time and action the steps outlined in this framework Focusing on content experience allows you to maximize your marketing results because engagement is contained within a personalized experience you can control
- When you think about all the experiences you’ve created mapped to your marketing campaigns. You also need to think about the goals and results you’re looking for. How are you capturing leads, are your scoring those leads based on actions they take and amount of content consumed. This is important for you to be able to gather insights and prove ROI on content experience. What we’ve found at Uberflip is if you gate content using an Overlay CTA as part of a content experience as opposed to a landing page you see more than 7x the average landing page conversion rate. If the goal is to get engagement with content (and to collect some insights about that or capture lead info) there is a better way than traditional landing pages. Why send people to that dead end page and risk them not filling out the form or even if they do, then what? They get that 1 asset and no ability for us to keep them there with related items. Using Overlay CTAs marries the ability to have integrated forms overlayed on premium assets where you need them and creates a better user experience as well. To be clear I do think Landing Pages still have value in some scenarios such as live webinars and free trials.
