How to recycle your B2B Marketing Content

Everybody's talking about it but unfortunately not everyone is doing it. B2B content marketing needn’t be scary! Besides, how does the saying go? "Feel the fear and do it anyway!" Recycle B2B Marketing Content

Content marketing isn't going anywhere, so if you don't have a content marketing strategy in place, what are you waiting for?

More content = more traffic = more leads. Fact.

Yes it's true - producing content is an on-going process but a good place to start is with what you already have. We hear it all the time - "our product or service is boring to talk about" or "it's complicated" or "it's a dry topic". Normally what we find is these are the guys that have tonnes of reuseable content gathering virtual dust.

This quick checklist of B2B marketing content assets should help you get started and uncover some content treasures waiting to be brought back to life as a whole new piece of remarkable sticky content.

Remember the three R's - reuse, recycle, repurpose (although I quite like my version - reincarnate, revive, resurrect)

By all means it's not a definitive list but intends to highlight content that most people are familiar with.
