43. What we did
We need a way to provide visibility into key content being produced
globally and the strategy around it.
More importantly, to offer insight into status, content details,
project owner, demand, social and blog plans, etc.
This is not a comprehensive events calendar – it is a content driven
calendar.
CONTENT THAT CONVERTS
44. Content Calendar Requirements
• As much collaboration as possible with approved tools (bonus if it is
something we market and sell)
• Visibility into top level plans for content and other groups within OMC
• Limited development time required
• Ease of use and integration / link with the master record for each
project/event (other tools, spreadsheets, trackers, etc.)
• Note: this will not replace existing calendars for individual teams.

For many, pets are like family, so it is no wonder that when a family relocates, pet owners carefully consider the options to get their pets to their new home. PetRelocation was founded in 2004 to give white-glove service to pet owners in need of transporting their pets safely and securely door-to-door across the country or across the globe. Customers are very careful in deciding whom to entrust with transporting their pets, as it is very personal and emotional for them. PetRelocation’s Chief of Staff, Rachel Farris, knows this and has leveraged Oracle Content Marketing as the hub of their marketing strategy to provide customers with the exact content they need in their decision making process.
Prospective customers are very interested in hearing experiences from prior customers, so PetRelocation has built a robust program for collecting and sharing customer stories, powered by Oracle Content Marketing. Thirty days after a pet move, customers are emailed asking them to do three things: click to share their story, complete a customer satisfaction survey, and claim their free t-shirt.
Diving into an actual post, you’ll see that there are tons of other categories they can engage with and they’re usually presented with a cute pet picture or video to supplement the customer testimonial providing an actual story of how well their move went.
The results don’t stop there. Statistics show this program is a major contributor to PetRelocation’s marketing and sales success. Their end-to-end tracking indicates that visitors to Q&A content
convert to a lead at 11.4% and leads convert from a lead to a customer at 13.5% when viewing their customer story content. And, the customer value of these visitors is nearly 4 times the average of blog post visitors.
