Digital Content Marketing Blog

 / Digital Content Marketing Blog (Page 33)

Last year we decided that we needed to find an organization that was making a Huge Difference in people’s lives that we could give back to by donating our money and our time.

We often get caught up in what we are doing… Increasing Visibility for businesses, Generating Leads, Getting them More Sales… but the fact is that we know the value of what we do at Acumen is really creating opportunities for people to live and enjoy their lives.

In 2018 we partnered with Good Meets World to find a that organization which matched our values and was changing lives.

After identifying a few non-profits that we believed met that criteria we held a vote at our office to choose who we would support for years to come.

The vote was in and our choice was clear… Friends of Kids With Cancer.

This organization makes it possible for families who have children with cancer to keep hope alive and make their time during the most trialing period of their lives a little easier & more enjoyable.  “Helping Kids with Cancer, Be Kids!”

We are honored to Give Back and excited to share with you in hopes of inspiring you to give as well.

Are you running a consistent content marketing effort online?
Most companies in the Print Industry answer No.
That’s a good thing!
We’ve talked with Hundreds of companies in the industry and found that literally less than 10% of them are running ANY consistent marketing online.
Why is that a Good Thing?
If you are marketing online then you’re already winning.
If you ARE NOT then it means if you Start Now then you’ll be able to Dominate your competition, gain visibility, new leads and more sales.

Why don’t more companies in the print industry do much marketing online?

There are several main reasons.
1. They feel they are betraying print in some way (Which is so not true, and I’ll explain why)
2. They think it doesn’t generate leads & sales (I’ll explain how if done right it brings High ROI)
3. It’s a change to the way things have been done (Everyone’s biggest fear!)

Feeling Like Your Betraying Print By Pushing Digital?

You’re Not!
Here’s the biggest reason why.
If you consistently do High ROI content marketing activities then you’ll get in front of more businesses and people wanting print projects done, or if you’re a provider to the print industry then it’s more paper sales, ink sales, service calls, etc. which means you’ll sell more print, products and services.  Online marketing = more print production, more industry sales and more services provided.
It’s the Truth!
There are also many other good reasons such as the integration of print and digital, automation, etc.

Do You Think Digital Won’t Return a Profit for You?

It Will!
In nearly every case we find that companies have internal resources managing their social media who are simply posting to the accounts and are typically rarely blogging.
Most haven’t or aren’t doing any SEO and email is nearly non-existent.
This combination of, to be honest, a lack of strategic effort, will surely generate no return.
But imagine for a second you have someone working with you to make sure your website shows up for every search that your customers are searching online, your social content is speaking to the value you deliver and keeping you in front of highly targeted customers, and emails are going out to leads that continue to come in each month which is clearly showing Sales Increase each month year over year.
That’s what happens when you use your assets online positioned for sales.
Unfortunately most marketers don’t know how to sell.
As proven by so many companies having a Marketing Department and a Sales Department.
You Have to Do Both Online!
*If you need this done we know someone who is really good at doing this for companies in the print industry (hint, hint, wink, wink)

Is Marketing Online a Change to the Way Things Have Been Done?

Yes it is.
But just like the print industry has changed, so has marketing and channels for selling.
Yes the old way still works.
And digital marketing done well is still rooted in the fundamentals of marketing and sales.
AND you still need those 1 to 1 conversations to close new business.
So it’s really not that much of a change.
It’s more like, Up Your Online Content Marketing Game and you’ll Up Your Sales Opportunities.
Meaning you get to do more of what you’ll been doing.
You’re just sneaking in a new tool to get more business in the door.
High ROI Content Marketing for the Print Industry is a Simple Solution to Increase Your Sales.
