White papers are the often neglected and overlooked cousin to the more popular case study or eBook. And yet white papers are an essential part of the sales funnel for B2B businesses, and can make or break a business decision to purchase or abandon a purchase. In terms of nurturing sales leads towards conversion, the white paper is essential. White paper design is therefore critical to the success of your white paper.
Firstly though, it’s important to assess whether or not the white paper is right for your business. As a marketing asset, a white paper is ideal for high value and high cost products or services that need to be sold to customers through a gradual process of informing them about your product (i.e. through a sales funnel).
A white paper is a document which contains data-led insights and research findings about an issue that’s highly relevant to your audience. The white paper should help to resolve a real world problem for your client and should be integrally tied to the unique selling proposition of your product or service.
As an essential part of the sales funnel, the white paper is a critical way to build customer loyalty and to gain the trust of potential new clients. The end goal is conversion or the purchase of your product or service.
