Creating impactful marketing content takes effort, time, and resources, especially in the nuanced world of alternative investments. But once that content is out in the world, its journey doesn’t have to end.
Too often, firms fall into the trap of treating content as a one-and-done initiative, moving on to the next project without fully leveraging the potential of what’s already been created. This approach leaves significant opportunities on the table.
Content doesn’t have to have a single use. By understanding what resonates with your audience and strategically repurposing successful content, you can amplify your reach, reinforce your messaging, and get more return on your marketing investment.
Marketing Content: Understanding What Resonates
One of the keys to maximizing your content lies in recognizing what’s working. In alternative investment marketing, the feedback loop is rich with insights, whether it’s engagement metrics from an email campaign, advisor feedback during conversations, or the traction a whitepaper receives.
When you identify that a particular theme, message, or educational topic is striking a chord with your audience, you’ve uncovered a golden opportunity to extend its impact.
Let’s say you’ve launched an email campaign focused on the tax advantages of certain investments, and it’s performing well with higher-than-average click-through rates. This success is a signal that the topic is worth exploring further and repurposing in other formats.
Repurposing Marketing Content for Maximum Impact
Repurposing doesn’t mean copying and pasting — it’s about creatively adapting content to meet your audience in different ways and through various touchpoints. The same message that resonates in an email can be equally powerful when translated into a new medium.
Imagine taking the insights from a successful email and transforming them into a visually engaging flyer for advisors to share with their clients. Or using the same core message to craft a direct mail campaign that adds a tactile dimension to your outreach. You could even equip your sales team with a script based on the content, enabling them to start meaningful conversations with advisors.
The process can also work in reverse. If you’ve developed a detailed report or paper that’s been well-received, it can serve as the foundation for an email campaign or webinar series. By repackaging the content in ways that fit the preferences of your audience, you not only expand its reach but also reinforce its core message across multiple channels.
Measuring and Learning
Determining the effectiveness of repurposed marketing content is possible by tracking its performance and listening to feedback. For emails, metrics like open rates and click-through rates provide a clear picture of engagement. For reports, the response from advisors or input from your sales team can reveal whether the message is resonating.
This feedback isn’t just about measuring success; it’s about informing your next steps. Positive engagement signals that your audience values the information, giving you confidence to explore other creative ways to extend its use.
