Content distribution is essential for system integrators looking to expand their reach and connect with end-user customers across diverse vertical markets such as healthcare, education, transportation, manufacturing, or multifamily housing.
Building an effective content distribution strategy is not just about creating great content; it's about ensuring that content reaches the right audience at the right time through various channels. In this article, we'll explore actionable strategies for system integrators to amplify their content reach across multiple vertical markets.
Understand Your Audience in Each Vertical
Before diving into content distribution, it's important to understand the unique problems, and pain points of your target audience within each vertical market. This in-depth understanding will serve as the foundation for creating content that truly resonates with your audience and drives engagement.
By conducting thorough research and gaining insights into the demographics, challenges, and decision-making processes of end-users in each vertical market, you can tailor your content to address specific pain points and ultimately earn recognition as the subject matter expert.
This personalized approach not only enhances the effectiveness of your content but also fosters a deeper connection with your audience, ultimately leading to greater success.
Boost your content reach with regular, value-added social media posts
LinkedIn is a great place for System Integrators to create a presence. The key to engagement and getting your content noticed is building a regular posting routine (2-3 times/week). Here are four actions you may include as part of your routine:
- Create problem-solution posts that speak to the needs of your target customers in each vertical. (e.g., Healthcare Security Problem: Keeping patients staff, and visitors safe. Solution: A Layered Approach to Security - then link to a blog article that explains what you do).
- Share relevant content - use industry research, facts and stats to reinforce your solutions and value you bring to the table. Share these posts on your channel.
- Spend 15 minutes a day and engage with followers - Like, share, connect and follow people in your vertical.
- Boost your posts to expand your reach. LinkedIn has a great article here - do this and you will see your metrics improve
Additionally, consider joining industry-specific groups or forums to connect with professionals in your target verticals. LinkedIn has a ton of groups in verticals your system integration will want to reach.
Use email marketing to spread the word
Email marketing remains one of the most effective channels for nurturing leads and driving conversions. Develop segmented email lists based on vertical markets and deliver personalized content tailored to the specific interests and pain points of each audience segment.
Provide valuable insights, educational resources, and exclusive offers to establish trust and credibility with your target customers.
