You will always need quality content for robust lead generation. Luckily, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time!
Investing in new content to meet your lead generation goals isn’t always an option. But if you’ve already got great content, you have a ton of opportunities to turn up the volume on lead generation. Are you ready? Grab your glow sticks and dust off your best dance moves… we’re about to get down with a lead gen remix.
Get started with your feet on solid ground. Know what they want first.
Step 1: Repackage for Lead Generation
Long-form content is a treasure trove of repackaging opportunities for lead generation. Make a list of all your relevant in-depth content and find the smaller pieces of interesting content. Create a variety of media for your audience to engage with (eg, quizzes, podcasts, articles, webinars).
Ideas for Getting Started
Repackaging longer pieces into short-form content lets you get more exposure for the quality content you’ve already created. Here are a few ideas to get started, depending on the content you have available.
Webinars
- Create a podcast episode with the audio track.
- Create an infographic that illustrates a complex concept.
- Generate a visual treatment algorithm.
- Create a series of blog posts or e-book from the transcription.
- Create a quick guide of key takeaways.
- Create a synergistic pet owner handout toolkit.
- Create short, social-media-friendly videos.
Articles

- Hire a voiceover actor to read the article and create a podcast episode from it.
- Assemble a panel of experts to have a fireside chat webinar to discuss their perspectives on the article.

- Develop a multi-part email series to feed prospects the article in bite-sized snippets.
- Deploy a synergistic quiz or survey.
Podcasts

After repackaging your content, establish the goals of your new arsenal. Snack-sized content works best. This helps determine how to organize the content, where to publish it, and how to add to it to create the best experience for your prospect.

Now comes the fun—time to get exposure for your “new” library of content. Create a comprehensive communication plan for your campaign of repackaged content. If your goal is lead generation, make sure your communications plan includes partnership with a media company. Working with a media partner ensures you’re attracting new leads.
