As a business leader, it’s your job to optimize resources. You want to make sure you’re getting this biggest bang for your buck.
But, one area that is often overlooked is marketing — specifically, content marketing. Every day, thousands of pieces of content are treated liked plastic water bottles. Used once, then thrown away.
That’s not very efficient, is it?
That’s where content repurposing comes in. It’s like recycling, but for your content.
Essentially, this means you are taking one piece of content and re-tooling it for a variety of different uses, mediums and marketing channels.
Not only is repurposing your content a smart move from a resources standpoint, but it also maximizes your reach by giving your audience more opportunities to see your messages.
Repurposing Your Content
If repurposing content is new concept for you, we’ll walk you through how to do it in this week’s episode of The Marketing Huddle. Here is what we discussed:
