Expert advice on how to repurpose press releases and extend their reach

NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Continuing to come up with fresh content on a regular basis is one of the most demanding aspects of a small business marketer, and with such emphasis placed on producing quality content, are there ways to repurpose existing assets into a mix of formats that can save you valuable time and resources? Contributing author Rich Kahn answers this question with a resounding yes in his latest article posted to PR Newswire’s Small Business PR Toolkit. Kahn offers five easy ideas for repurposing press releases that will make audiences — and potential customers — take notice.

• Owned content.  Use elements of your press release to create additional owned content such as a branded blog post, whitepapers, infographics and more. Audiences discover and consume content in a plethora of ways, so ensure you are creating different forms of content that resonates.
• Highlight press release placement.  Rather than uploading a Word file of your release to your own business website, many companies are linking to the most significant press release appearance on a non-paid site they’ve received.  They use this tactic to highlight the fact that their release has appeared on a highly strategic — and trusted — website.
• Leverage social media.  With press releases typically being written for media consumption, reformat the release into digestible content that can easily be shared on your various social channels. Creating tidbits of content on social can help to increase engagement and boost your brand’s credibility.

To read the remaining ways that press release content can be repurposed, read Kahn’s complete post here: http://bit.ly/1lZCdQ4.

There are a number of influences currently shaping the baby food market in Germany which are likely to continue over the next few years. Ready-to-eat products are expected to comprise one of the few growth areas in the baby food market in the face of a falling birth rate. Concerns over the health and safety aspects of manufactured baby foods will remain a priority for parents, and products which are organic, hypoallergenic, or possess other health enhancing properties are likely to have the advantage, despite their usually higher price. Confidence in recognised brand names will remain high notwithstanding further contamination scares.

Key Findings

• 2014 saw an upturn in sales over the previous year of 2.5% in value and 2.1% in volume. This was in part due to higher birth numbers, but also to an improvement in the economy, and to strong marketing and product innovation.
• Unusually, the largest sector of the German market is not baby milks but meals and juices. The latter accounted for 47.9% of value sales in 2014 and for 72.6% of volume sales.
• Two major channels of distribution dominate in the baby food sector – drugmarkets and food outlets, the latter principally comprising large supermarkets and hypermarkets.
• Although the economic situation has improved in 2015, growth is expected to be muted over the review period overall. The number of births is also expected to fall.

Synopsis

“Baby Food in Germany” is an analytical report by Canadean which provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Germany market.

What else does this report offer?

• Consumption data based upon a unique combination of industry research, fieldwork, market sizing work and our in-house expertise to offer extensive data about the trends and dynamics affecting the industry.
• Detailed profile of the companies operating and new companies considering entry in the industry along with their key focus product sectors.
• Market profile of the various product sectors with the key features and developments, segmentation, per capita trends and the various manufacturers and brands.
• Overview of baby food retailing with a mention of the major retailers in the country along with the distribution channel.
• Future projections considering various trends which are likely to affect the industry.

Reasons To Buy

• Evaluate important changes in consumer behaviour and identify profitable markets and areas for product innovation.

• WTC Noida – Developed by Viridian RED, the inception of WTC Noida happened in the year 2012 and it is currently operational.

Many of them are under planning and approval stage. They are an essential part of the WTCA’s global network of 330 WTC Members in 100 countries.

Statistics shows that India’s GDP growth during this year is 7.5% compared to China’s 7%, making India the fastest growing economy in the world. We are confident that India will further facilitate foreign investment and trade, boost infrastructure building, and stimulate the manufacturing sector which in turn means even greater potential for growth and development. With a population of 1.2 billion, and a rapidly expanding middle class, we fully expect the consumption power of India to continue to grow and further strengthen India’s position as a global powerhouse. By providing opportunities for reciprocal arrangements, the global WTCA Network will work closely with our Indian WTC Members to grow trade and boost prosperity.

We believe WTC Chandigarh will act as a major catalyst to the economic growth of Chandigarh Capital Region (CCR) and bring CCR onto a global platform. The presence of a World Trade Center facility will further bolster regional strategies to develop export oriented economic zones by attracting foreign business and multinational companies to the region. In addition, the service offerings of WTC Chandigarh will improve the local business competitiveness and increase foreign direct investment inflow. WTCA is excited to see World Trade Center Chandigarh launch, and we look forward to watching the region grow and prosper.
