Some companies have people on staff that are so prolific with the writing and ideas for content
on their site, they are channeling Stephen King without the creepy horror. But so often the content
tapers off, even for us. I have been jotting down ideas that I come up with or collect from reading
all over the next and looking at other sites, this is a list we pull from when clients, or even our
own writers, get stuck.
Announce new products and special offers. Create a lengthy list
of blogs about why your clients do business with you. Each selling point will make an article. Talk
about why your services or better quality, which can include being American made, bulk buying to
pass on savings, stuff like that.
Employee profiles. In depth product reviews, one at a
time. Buying guides for your products, or how to choose a provider guides for service industries.
Share humorous office stories, or customer stories; get personal. Share customer testimonials with a
guest writer, or repeat what you heard. Answer a client question that has come up more than once
(re-write your FAQ in your blog, one question at a time).
NEWS- talk about any type of
news that correlates to your field of work. Opinionize it and tell how is affects you. Company news
is another good idea. This can be high priority or trivial information. Talk about any achievements
or presentations you went to.
Things to avoid, products to avoid, the negative spin on
What Not to Do. Recommendations of companies you do business with: your web designer, your cellphone
service. Look at your competitors. It is allowed and will spark your mind for ideas. also look at
related sites that are not competitors but complementary. Make lists. Make Top Fives. Top Five
mistakes you see. Top Five Sellers and why. Top Five trends.
