Target your audience and build your email list with an engineering white paper
There’s no easier way to attract new readers and current and potential clients than with a white paper.
A technical white paper is an authoritative, in-depth report on a topic, that discusses an issue or problem and presents a solution by your firm. (Perfect for highlighting your area of expertise.)
And when it comes to powerful marketing strategies, white papers are more than a document. They’re an asset. They are commonly used as lead magnets, where readers must leave their email address at a minimum, to gain access. It’s the ideal mechanism for a reader to exchange their email address for your information.
3 reasons why your firm needs a white paper
Stand out from the masses.
Publishing a technical white paper will position your business as an authority and expert on the subject in hand.
Builds Trust.
A white paper can bring readers around to your way of thinking, while building trust among your target audience.
Generate Leads.
White papers are great for building email lists and are a time-tested method to convert cold traffic into hot leads.
What is a typical format for a white paper?
For a white paper to be effective at building trust, showcasing your expertise and generating leads, it must feature:
- Factual, formal and very professional tone
- Usually 3000+ words in length
- Includes executive summary, contents page and references
- Can be anywhere between 6 or 8 pages in length to 30 or 40 if needed
- FInal product should include illustrations, graphs, stats, and great graphics
What engineering white papers can do for your firm
An engineering white paper can educate readers on your products by dissecting common technical problems in the field and presenting solutions. So, it’s important that when they’re searching for solutions that your business is front of mind.
By publishing engineering or technical white papers that offer suggestions for their problems, they will come to you as an authority when they need a solution for their own business.
