eMarketing inc. Content Syndication - What It Is

Content Syndication

The process of creating sub-sets of web content (either exisiting or new), customizing that content for a partner and strategically integrating that content into other websites for the mutual benefit of both the syndicator and the partner site .

eMarketing inc. Content Syndication - Problem It Solves

• Many companies have under utilized/underleveraged web content

• Many companies pay significant dollars to drive traffic to their sites

• At the same time, companies have partners who have also have websites with significant web traffic that need useful content to attract, reward and retain repeat visitation to their sites

e.g. Distributors and Retailers who carry their products/services

• Those partners do not want visitors to their sites to leave (links are “doorways out” – they’ve lost the visitor)

• With B2B content – syndicating information onto partner sites (e.g. catalogs) keeps information updated up to the minute.

> Therefore, an excellent solution is to forge strategic partnerships where content can be integrated on partner sites.

6

eMarketing inc.Content Syndication - Who should consider it?

Companies with:

• Content that explains complex products e.g. sharing “How To” facts

• Content that can be a “catalyst” for consumers to buy - e.g. recipes

• Tools that simplify decision making – e.g. calculators

• Content that helps consumers simplify buying decisions – e.g. model selectors

• Content already built that would cost partner sites a lot to duplicate e.g. specific subject matter expertise

• Content that creates excitement – e.g. promotions

• B2B content that helps the distributor/retailer network - e.g. product catalogs/tools

• Frequently changing content – e.g. pricing, availability, specifications etc.

eMarketing inc. Best Practices

Content must be value-added – brand “commercials” only don’t work

Be flexible – each partner wants something a bit different.

Review partner sites – can their visitors benefit from what you’re content?

Make your Syndication platform templated and database driven – no static content

Build in a refresh strategy to your offering – lock in long term partnership and change the message (seasonal themes etc.)

-Key Sales periods

Make someone who understands it responsible/accountable for sell-in.

Make it easy for the partner to execute – No hassles for the partner site.

If you control the display of the content – make sure it’s reliable - 100% “up-time”

Be realistic about your opportunities – how many partners will you approach?
