Editor's Notes
- Don’t have a secret sauce formula for how to sneak lots of tweets into 10 minutes. Need to be thoughtful and actually communicate. Want to help you with a new way to think Don’t think about online or offline – think of it as marketing Don’t think about tweets or posts or headlines – think about content Don’t look for a magic ratio of online to offline or tweets to blog posts or emails. Think about your business’ personality and how you can provide a consistent experience. What should you say? How should you say it? Where should that message go? It can go a lot of places
- So many approaches we wondered how businesses were handling this. Although content marketing really isn’t new John deere published a magazine back in 1895 Accts and lawyers ( not exactly innovative marketers) have been publishing newsletters as a cornerstone of their marketing for years Term content marketing is fairly new and a big focus We wanted to know how businesses are approaching the idea of content marketing in SE WI. So we took a survey
- Over 200 participants variety of industries large and small. One person law firms, Kohler, Children’s Hospital, YMCA, Schools, PGA tour About half had 100 or less employees and half 100 or more. About 20% had over 1000 employees. Diverse.
- What did we learn? Content Marketing is hard - Duh. 90% of respondents use content marketing in some way. Just below national average. Those that don’t cite social media or company policy as challenges 2nd most common reason – inability to produce quality content or engaging content Common reason cited by those using it too CMI – 35% of most effective challenged with creating engaging content 47% of average effective People know it’s tough – being proactive. 66% planned their strategy (national 44%). Important because there are big costs in marketing – either hard costs or time costs. Tough to plan. Nielsen research showed that when agencies plan multichannel marketing, only get about 7.6% overlap. Use two diff agencies – 7% overlap. Diff measurement methods. Demographics are too wide. 18 – 24. 25 – 54. example Tough to be noticed – infobesity Tons of content Zillion platforms. 200 million active websites.
- More people post to FB than their site Your site should be center of online efforts FB can be easier if you do this, you’re not alone What else do we see? Email is not dead Direct mail is not dead Print newsletters are not dead CMI – in person events are most effective – remember can also include online tactics Average marketer uses 13 different tactics
- Survey respondents had positive feelings about the effectiveness of CM 43% felt that photos generate the most response 23% felt company announcements generate the most response 19% felt video generates the most response. Use it to support events, lead generation, supplement advertising efforts, and SEO Remember – 3x to 4x additional spend when multichannel is used.
- So we know it works It’s a lot of work It works Want to do it right What to say, so you can be engaging and connect with people Stand out among the overload of messages SAS research – key to getting multichannel right Single view of customer across all platforms Creating consistent customer experience But diff places have different requirements for the message. Your customers experience your brand as a whole. Website/Facebook/Store or office/print ads, all different. TO US! Same to your customer. That’s where archetypes come in
- Archetype theory – explain 12 in all Divide into four groups of three Think about which ones resonate with you. Most brands have a dominant and secondary personality so you’ll hear things that you relate with more than once. For today don’t have to know exactly which one. Focus on the overarching characteristic of the group.
- Everything is perfect, happy good, fulfilled Self focused brands Innocent – world is beautiful now, just look. Life is simple and happy. Pure or spiritual. Can be trusting or focusing on rebirth (spiritual) trying to get life right Explorers – not happy now but if they look for it, they will be. Seek adventure. Not necessarily unhappy, but want to advance their life and can’t do it here. Provide novelty. Figure things out for yourself. Mentor/sage – use knowledge or learning to understand the world. Products require learning curve. Need info to believe. Like to educate or be educated. Want to feel smarter or make better decisions. Crossover – sesame street, Oprah If your brand is about making life better – might be you. Emphasize perfection. Affects image choice. Affects word choice, keywords. Do you need to focus on spiritual things or simplicity. Can you communicate with a happy image or do you need to write a whitepaper?
- Things aren’t right. They’ll change that. Sometimes positive, sometimes, negative. Hero – saves the day. Do whatever it takes. Make a diff. rise to occasion. Want to feel tough, get fired up. Good if your org is especially good and competitors are sub par. Outlaw – break rules, but not necessarily bad. Robin Hood. Lady Gaga (madonna) Products aimed at teens. Sometimes it’s people breaking the rules because they have no choice. Or experience being bad without really being bad. (diet products) Magician. Make impossible happen. Have a secret way of doing things that actually works. Make dreams come true. Use this product usual won’t happen. If you think of yourself as change agent, maybe need comparisons or before and after photos or videos. Case studies. Change related keywords. Try things that are more fun and magical – contests. Offline – lentiular business cards.
- Want to be part of a group. Accepted as who you are, don’t worry about what others think, or be likeable enough that everyone wants you Powerful today – lack of connections – selfie show Regular guy – everyone is great the way they are. Equality. Underdogs. Beautiful on outside but really a hot mess. The mindy project. Jester – relax, have fun, enjoy the good in each other. Break rules in funny way. Or save you from the rules you just broke because you’re not really bad. (antacids) or make work seem like play. Lover – make you appealing. Not always love. But people want you in their group. You are special. Or things you really care about – car is your baby. Connector brands well suited to social media. Need to really interact. Questions, quizzes, etc. Live events.
- Give structure to the world, control others, control by creating worlds they feel are right, or take responsibility for others. Provide stability. Consistency. Feels good in a world where things are changing rapidly. Caregiver – desire to help others. Fear instability for others. Like a parent. Generous, compassionate, take care. Creator – artistic, innovative, entrepreneurial. Didn’t like what was out there, did it better. Personalized experiences. Ruler – avoid chaos by controlling the environment. Be successful on your own. Smarter. Leaders. Cadillac commerical Give structure, want to talk about processes. Depending on what you are – infographic, detailed instructions, video. Rulers do well with learning events.
- Knowing your archetype can help you figure out how to express what is most appealing and relatable about your brand. Knowing what you need to express and what appeals to your audience can help you create what will hopefully be most effective and use it in the right places. Give and take – have to listen to audience. How to figure out – just do it. Look at what you do. Does it reflect your archetype? Are you using text when you should be using images? Are you giving people chances to connect? Are you using keywords that emphasize what your prospects will find interesting Knowing that the average marketer uses 13 platforms, where can you repurpose or augment your message. Archetype theory allows you to tweak the words but remain true to the basic idea. Makes it easier to modify message to suit venue. Do what makes sense for you. Social media is important but as we’ve seen the traditional stuff isn’t gone. It’s different but it’s not gone.
- Your homework – think about your business’ personality Look at what you’re doing? Does it match this personality? We covered a lot today. I didn’t give you a specific online/offline ratio. Give you something to think about. Questions?
