Many manufacturers and distributors find the concept of content marketing to be daunting and complex. In fact, only 39% of B2B organizations had a documented content marketing strategy in 2018. Senior commerce consultant Karie Daudt, who recently joined Perficient Digital after serving as VP of Marketing & Customer Experience for Insite Software, weighed in the importance of a product content strategy in supporting a better user experience (UX) in a blog post written for inRiver.
In the article, Karie outlines what a product content strategy is before exploring different types of product content and their value. “Start by incrementally building product content where you will make the biggest impact in the shortest period of time,” she advises.
Product content can support the buying journey and enhance UX, while simultaneously improving internal efforts. It’s important to develop content that fits the product, taking industry, user needs, and accessibility in mind.
“Now, product content is no longer just an asset utilized by internal teams. It is a tool that needs to support both internal business operations and the customer buying journey,” Karie emphasized. A product information management system (PIM) can streamline data organization efforts while disseminating content across a variety of platforms.
