Elevate Your Lead Generation Strategy

At Midnight Marketing, I firmly believe that lead generation isn’t limited to the sales team. As a digital marketing strategist, I understand that strategic efforts from the marketing team can significantly impact a small to medium-sized business’s lead pipeline. These efforts encompass a mix of potential long-term prospects and hot leads eager to make a purchase.

 

One of the key strategic activities in achieving this is content marketing, a powerful tool that can draw new prospects into your company’s orbit. Whether it’s an engaging article found through a Google search or direct communication aimed at existing customers, content can be a game-changer.

 

Now, let’s address some critical questions that business owners often ponder when aiming to bolster their lead pipeline and see how content plays a pivotal role in achieving these lead generation goals.

 

How do potential customers vet us? 

Prospective customers, at all stages of their buying journey, are actively evaluating your company through your website. They seek visual cues that signal credibility: cohesive web copy, an informative “About Us” section, regularly updated content (published in the last 30-60 days), testimonials, reviews, pricing details, product or service breakdowns, and downloadable resources for sharing with colleagues. To set your company apart and build trust early in the buying process, consider contributing expert insights through a monthly blog.

 

How can we be discovered by those who don’t know we exist?

While your website can appear in search engine results for relevant keywords, ensuring that your content reaches a specific target audience requires a more focused approach. Industry trade publications and local business journals offer robust sponsorship opportunities, allowing you to position your brand in front of an attentive, niche audience. Look for programs that provide open and click lists, along with contact email addresses you can add to your database.

 

What prompts people to transition from followers to customers?

An email sitting dormant in a database won’t convert by itself. Consistent communication, such as monthly ePublications, sales eBlasts, and lead nurturing drip campaigns, can be highly effective in keeping your company and its value proposition top of mind. To stand out in a cluttered inbox, ensure that each email provides valuable information tailored to the audience’s needs.

 

Are our customers fully aware of our offerings?

Customers may not be aware of the full extent of what your company has to offer. Content like case studies, white papers, eBooks, and product videos serve as excellent reasons to engage with customers, either by introducing them to new capabilities or reminding them of existing ones. Promote these materials vigorously across all channels, including social media, your website, digital ads, and email marketing.

 

In summary, content is a potent tool to illuminate the breadth of your company’s offerings. It also positions you as a trusted expert by providing answers to the questions your audience is seeking. The ultimate goal is to offer just enough valuable information that encourages webform submissions, emails, or phone calls.
