Align content marketing to sales funnel stages to sink the competition

Published on Nov 19, 2015

Even though content marketing has seen explosive growth since 2013 and many have adopted it as a key area of budget growth, some marketers still lack a solid strategy for effective content use in pipeline marketing. One key element to making the most of your budget is to align content marketing types to the appropriate stage of the sales funnel. For example, some content such as infographics align to the top of the funnel while sales sheets and installation guides align to the bottom. This presentation will walk through the importance of creating a content marketing strategy as well as how a few pieces of content align in the sales funnel.
