Une étude de cas très intéressante en anglais.

60 jours pour définir et analyser les retombées d'une stratégie de "content marketing" en B to B.

 

Les 3 premiers jours : on définit les objectifs
-  Clairs et mesurables
-  On identifier les priorités (pas plus de deux) et on affecte les ressources.

Jour 4 à 10 : On dresse le profil de la cible (méthode des personas)
Il est important de connaître et comprendre les besoins du groupe cible et le processus de decision, notamment les freins des décisionnaires.
On travaille de concert avec le service commercial et le service client (enquête de staisfaction...) afin de dresser un profil complet de la cible.

Jour 11 à 20 : On établi un plan du cycle de vente
On définir pour chaque étape un contenu approprié.
- Phase de recherche : le contenu sera axé sur les bénéfices du produits, l'expetise de l'entreprise... sous la forme d'articles de blogs, de vidéos, de livres blancs...
- Phase décisionnelle : le contenu sera axé sur les spécifications du produit, ses avantages, sous forme de cas clients, landings pages spécifiques, démonstration...
- Phase de pre-conversion : le contenu sera axé sur le bénéfice économique du produit et devra rassurer le client, les call-to-action seront visibles.

Jours 21 à 24 : On clarifie la stratégie de mots clés

On travaille ses mots clés, les principaux et la longue traine. Un composant important de l'inbound marketing est le SEO.

Jours 25 à 44 : On crée les contenus
On utilise ce que l'on a appris sur la cible et ses besoins pour créer des contenus utiles et de qualité.

Jours 45 à 59 : On publie et on partage

L'article propose ici un guide étape par étape (en anglais), de la publication sur le blog au guest blogging.

Jour 60 : On mesure les retombées

On mesure les retombées qualitatives et quantitatives tout au long de la campagne, on identifie les axes d'amélioration et on répéte le process.
