An effective writing of articles’ strategy, artfully executed, drives action. Companies that understand the new rules of writing articles have a clearly defined goal – to sell products, generate leads, secure contributions or get people to join – and deliver content that directly contributes to reaching that goal. At successful organizations, articles draw visitors into the sales-consideration cycle, then funnels them towards the place where action occurs. The action mechanism is not hidden nor is the organization’s goal a secret. When content effectively drives action, the end of the sales process – an ecommerce company’s “buy” button, the B2B corporation’s “please contact us” form, or non-profit’s “donate” link – are found in logical places, based on content that leads people there.
For many companies, Web content also has a powerful, less tangible effect. On the best sites, content does more than just sell product – it directly contributes to an organization’s positive reputation by showing thought-leadership in the marketplace of ideas.
Many people view a well executed series of press releases as highly influential, with regards to a company that they are considering doing business with. Articles mean your company is “busy” and a lack of articles can indicate that you are not moving forward. In the new world of marketing, consistent quality press release content brands a company or a non-profit as an expert and as a trusted resource to turn to again and again. New articles are often considered as an important buying criteria, especially in a complex B2B sales process.
