Things to Keep Your Marketing Team in the Loop About

The Best Ways to Make the Most of Your Marketing Investments

We Should Talk…

Your marketing team can only create great content if they know what’s happening inside your business. While marketers can research topics, review performance data, and develop creative ideas, some of the most valuable information must come directly from your team. The conversations you have with customers, the projects you complete, and the changes happening in your industry can all become part of a stronger marketing strategy.

Don’t sweat trying to figure all of this out on your own, just keep scrolling…

The Questions You Answer Every Day

If customers frequently ask the same question, there’s a good chance other people are searching for that answer online. Share common questions with your marketing team, even if the answers seem obvious to you. 

These questions can inspire:

• Blog posts
• Social media content
• Website FAQs
• Email topics
• Educational videos
• Sales materials

Answering real customer questions helps your business create useful content while targeting relevant search terms. It can also reduce confusion and help potential customers feel more confident about contacting you.

New Trends or Changes in Your Industry

Your marketing team should know when something changes within your industry. This could include new technology, updated regulations, shifting customer expectations, seasonal trends, or changes in how your services are delivered. Providing this information allows your marketers to create timely content and position your business as a knowledgeable resource. It can also help your company respond to industry changes before competitors begin discussing them.

You do not need to write a formal report. A quick email, shared article, or short conversation can give your marketing team what they need to explore the topic further.

Success Stories

Completed projects and client successes provide some of the strongest marketing content available to your business.

Keep your marketing team informed when you:

• Complete an interesting project
• Help a customer solve a difficult problem
• Reach an important milestone
• Launch a new service
• Improve a process
• Receive recognition or an award

These wins can become case studies, social media posts, website portfolio entries, email features, and sales materials. When possible, include background information, photos, measurable results, and a quote from the customer.

Results and Data

Numbers can make your marketing claims more specific and credible. Share meaningful business and customer results with your marketing team. Depending on your industry, this might include time saved, revenue generated, projects completed, response times, customer satisfaction rates, or measurable improvements achieved through your services.

Even internal performance data can help marketers understand which services are growing and what customers value most. Your marketing team can then use those insights to strengthen your messaging and focus on the areas that are producing the best results.

Positive Customer Feedback

A positive review, thank-you email, or encouraging comment should not disappear into an inbox. Send customer feedback to your marketing team so it can potentially be used in testimonials, social media posts, website content, email campaigns, and sales materials. Feedback can also reveal the words customers naturally use to describe your company.

Those details are valuable. They help your marketing team better understand why customers choose your business and which parts of the experience matter most to them.

As with success stories, confirm that you have permission before publishing private messages or identifying information.

What Is Keeping Your Team Busy

The everyday work happening behind the scenes can provide a steady stream of marketing ideas. Tell your marketing team what employees are working on, which services are in demand, and what types of projects are filling the schedule. Even routine activities can become valuable content when they help customers understand your process, expertise, or company culture.

Behind the scenes updates can make your business feel more active, transparent, and approachable. They also allow potential customers to see the work involved in delivering your products or services.

Take multiple horizontal and vertical photos from different angles. Make sure the area is well lit, remove unnecessary clutter, and avoid sharing private customer information. A photo does not need to be professionally produced to be useful. A clear, authentic image from your business is often more engaging than a generic stock photo.

A simple communication process can lead to better content, stronger brand messaging, and a more effective digital marketing strategy.
