Types Of Content Marketing Content

One of the challenges of content marketing is that, to be successful, you must generate multimedia content on a regular and consistent basis. Therefore, it’s essential you use a range of production methods so the cost of each piece of content is appropriate for the intended use.

Here are the three primary types of content you will need in your content marketing efforts.

Showpiece Content

Showpiece content includes promotional videos, e-learning programs, published books and training videos and are used to firmly establish your authority. These pieces might be needed for a customer deliverable, trade-show booth or national sales meeting.

This type of content won’t be inexpensive – but you only need a few and it requires infrequent updating.

Workhorse Content

Workhorse content includes podcasts, e-books, white papers, animation videos, marketing funnel components and luminary testimonials. These pieces serve as the foundation of your content efforts, and might be needed for face-to-face sales meetings. This content needs to be high quality but, when produced correctly, can cost far less than showpiece content.

PDQ Content

PDQ (pretty darn quick) content includes talking head videos, written blog entries, recorded webinars, customer testimonials, and infographics. These pieces are needed on a blog and online store, for embedding in emails, and for use on social media accounts.

For an effective content marketing program, you’ll need plenty of this type of content. PDQ content, like showpiece and workhorse types, still needs to be valuable, relevant and story-driven, but the requirement for production value is less – because its presence is more fleeting.
