Creating Content to Last

NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As marketers living and working in the age of search algorithms and spam filters, a lot of emphasis is placed on producing quality content, that is relevant to target audiences and improves awareness and brand visibility. And though timely information can provide a traffic boost or spike, it is just as important to focus on evergreen content—pieces which have no expiration date and will still provide value in the days, weeks, months and years to come. Small businesses routinely produce evergreen pieces such as white papers, case studies, eBooks and research, but where many marketers struggle is in producing press releases that can stand up to the test of time.
