[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”487892″]SUMMARY<\/b>:<\/p>\n

Expert articles are the most efficient and flexible form of content for quickly generating leads and awareness on social media.<\/b><\/p>\n

Many B2B companies write about their products on their own blogs \u2013 unfortunately, often with little reach and without any real measurable success. In this article, we show you how traditional industrial and mechanical engineering companies, SaaS startups, medtech firms, and others can use the ReThink180\u2122 method and a systematic process for increasing reach with expert articles to generate concrete leads and sustainable awareness in a short period of time and achieve measurable success.

Before writing blog articles, many B2B companies do not consider what they actually want to achieve with them. They hope for \u201cawareness\u201d in a very unspecific way. This often results in unfocused posts with no product reference that do not generate any concrete inquiries. Why? A general article provides superficial information but hardly interests the reader in the company’s products.
\nThe term \u201cawareness\u201d is rarely defined and its actual benefit is usually questionable. Many B2B companies spend a lot of money to generate attention \u2013 and often achieve exactly the opposite. This is because people in the B2B environment in particular may perceive \u201cbrand building\u201d and \u201cawareness\u201d measures without concrete information as annoying advertising that does not offer them any added value. In the worst case, companies can even create a negative branding effect. Internally, marketers then often find themselves in the uncomfortable position of having to justify the costs of awareness, which can sometimes lead to unpleasant discussions due to the difficult-to-measure benefits.
\nIn our opinion, sustainable brand building in B2B marketing can only be achieved if customers internalize concrete information such as product quality and added value, innovation leadership, performance, cost-benefit ratio, and service level, and develop trust in the company. This automatically and permanently inspires them to embrace the brand and understand why they should consider it when the need arises.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”854864″]Many are stuck in the dilemma of \u201cproduct interest vs. advertising appeal.\u201d[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”129584″]<\/p>\n

\n

Many companies write general articles on industry topics (\u201c5 trends in…\u201d etc.) for fear of appearing too \u201cadvertising-oriented.\u201d These often generate interest, but if the article does not present the product as a solution, readers are left wondering what problem they should contact the company about or, worse still, which company wrote the article in the first place.
\nEven if solutions are presented in the content, they are often described in vague terms and are not quantified. A typical example: \u201cProduct XY will make you faster.\u201d This leaves the customer unclear as to how much speed they can gain. One percent more would not be exciting for them, but 40 percent faster might be. They cannot therefore decide whether the product is right for them and, due to the lack of clarity, risk wasting time with a pushy salesperson if they do make an enquiry.
\nArticles that focus entirely on the company or product (\u201cWho are we?\u201d, \u201cWhat products\/services do we offer?\u201d and \u201cWhat features do we have?\u201d) are unlikely to arouse much interest among customers. Why? This product-centric communication does not allow customers to intuitively recognize why the product is relevant to them, which of their problems it solves, and how it can improve their situation. Since very few customers are willing to do background research, they leave without any interest in the product.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”112032″]How to achieve conversion rates of up to 5% with expert articles \u2013 and generate lasting awareness at the same time[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”198244″]To spark interest, B2B companies should always start their content from the customer’s perspective, i.e., with one of their problems or desires. Customers know their own perspective and can therefore immediately and intuitively recognize that the article could be interesting to them because it shows them how they can improve their situation. There are usually several lines of argumentation that lead to product interest, e.g., quality, cost, effort, etc. Regardless of the \u201cpain point\u201d you choose, you can always use the same structure:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Are you in industry x, working in position y, and have problem z?<\/li>\n
  2. Does this lead to unpleasant consequences a, b, and c for you?<\/li>\n
  3. We have a solution using approach X<\/li>\n
  4. With this, you can achieve the (quantified) results 1, 2, and 3<\/li>\n
  5. You can trust us because we have already solved this problem for x, y, and z<\/li>\n
  6. \u201cCall to action\u201d: \u201cWould you like to know more?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These points can be used to develop an argument (a \u201cmessage\u201d) that, unlike a general \u201cawareness\u201d text, is highly relevant to your target group, generates direct product interest and leads, and also delivers genuine and sustainable brand building. Reason: The customer can now link the valuable solution they have learned to your company name and your product.<\/p>\n

    In contrast to a general white paper download, this also increases the quality of leads. Because if the customer already understands the added value they can achieve with a product during the initial consultation, your sales team can enter the sales process directly (unlike when downloading a general white paper).<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, without reach, it won’t generate any inquiries. However, B2B companies often lack the know-how to make themselves heard on digital channels. They are often left hoping that good content will somehow find its way to the right audience \u2013 which usually doesn’t happen.<\/p>\n
