Prospect: Can content marketing work for me?

Answer: The more information that is needed by the prospect during the sales process, the higher your

chances of succeeding with content marketing.

The B2B sales process requires the most information.• High cost

• Many stakeholders

• Decisions need to be justified

The B2C sales process can go either way.• Cost

• Impact of decision

• Necessity vs luxury

My favorite story for B2C

Window shopping = very little need for information

“I need to solve a problem” = High need for information

Non-Profit is a different story.• #1 goal for Non-Profits

is fundraising.

• Raising money is difficult with content marketing.

• Content marketing SHOULD be used to develop and maintain a tight community.

clients?

Challenge them to identify the “need for information” at each stage of the buyer’s journey.
