The New Rules of Custom Publishing

Junta42 | The New Rules of Custom Publishing World-Class Custom Publishing… …Is Possible Custom publishing, sometimes called content marketing, custom media or branded content, is changing the marketing landscape. Technology has enabled marketers to communicate directly with their customers more quickly and more efficiently than ever before. Combine this with the fact that consumers have grown tired of interruption marketing practices, and it’s easy to see why more brands are creating, distributing and marketing their own valuable and relevant content. Now the second-fastest growing marketing segment (behind the Internet), according to Veronis Suhler Stevenson, the custom publishing industry offers more potential for publishers, agencies, direct marketers and PR firms than even a few years ago. The challenge facing all organizations today is the need to create their own content. The problem: developing content is not part of the core competencies of most organizations. They do not have the processes, expertise or capability to do it themselves. Most not only need help but are actively searching for the professionals who can help them create the relevant content they now need to execute their marketing strategies. As more brands realize their own content needs, new opportunities are emerging for those businesses and agencies that have content marketing expertise. Today’s successful custom publisher/content marketing provider must do business differently than in the past in order to continue that success. The old practices and marketing concepts don’t meet the communication challenges of today’s marketplace. In these uncertain times of new technology, changing behaviors and limited consumer patience, custom publishers must combine the content and production competencies they already have developed with new social media marketing and sales techniques. In addition, new services like Junta42 Match will make it more important for custom publishers to differentiate themselves than ever before. Here are nine key strategies that successful custom publishers are implementing to ensure success in this new marketplace. Moving forward with any of these strategies will allow businesses to reap rewards and help them develop new business relationships and more profitable customer agreements. www.junta42.com/match 2 http://www.vss.com/ http://www.vss.com/ http://www.junta42.com/match http://www.junta42.com/match
