Never underestimate the power of in-person,
event-based marketing.
32. The beauty of digital marketing is its
ability to be measured.
33. As such, the foundations of successful digital
campaigns includes tools in place to measure,
dissect, and analyse their results.
Proper metrics will give you insight into the returns
on your investments and help you make decisions
about what to keep — and what to lose.

As Stephen Covey famously said, “Begin with the end in mind.” For content marketing, this means a library of content that will attract new customers by reflecting your business’ authority and expertise.
“Competitors can copy your products, your services, and your processes, but the only thing they can’t copy is how you communicate. This is why content marketing has become so important.” —Joe Pulizzi
Take stock of what you already have. Chances are, you’ve got a wealth of owned content to work with.
Social posts to Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram all count. Here are some places to start looking: Emails, blogs, videos, audio recordings, photographs, interviews, tech support logs and conversations, knowledge bases, product instructions, community forums.
Now that you know what you already have, think about what’s missing. Some businesses naturally lend themselves to certain kinds of content.
What types of content naturally suit your product or service?
Where could you create content that would add value for your customer?
A distribution plan for your content is key to your success. Where would people be looking for content you produce?
Social posts, blog exchanges, and email signatures are all places you should consider in your content distribution strategy.
