Custom Content

How to request it and how our clients use it!

The Levitate content team prides itself on creating a diverse array of industry-specific, timely, and evergreen content. We also recognize the strategic impact that uniquely personalized content can have on your company’s marketing efforts. That's why we're pleased to offer custom content creation as part of our comprehensive content marketing services.

Custom content is uniquely crafted messaging designed to be sent through Levitate. It’s more personalized than what’s in the general content library and written with your goals and audience in mind. This can include emails, social media content, blog posts, or HTML newsletters.

How it works:

1. Request custom content from your Customer Success Specialist: To initiate a custom content request for your business, simply contact your Customer Success Specialist and describe your needs. They will book you a brief, 45-minute consultation meeting with our custom content marketing team.
2. Prepare for your custom content consultation: To prepare for this meeting, consider the following questions:
   1. What is the main goal of your content?
   2. Who is your target audience or specific group you intend to reach?
   3. Are there any specific industry themes, unique connection points, or reasons for outreach that we can leverage to engage your audience immediately?
   4. For HTML or social media content requests, are there any design elements (like colors, logos, imagery, or branding) you want included?
   5. What action/s do you want your audience to take after reading this content (ex: email, call, or book a meeting with you)?
   6. Is there a particular value proposition you want to highlight?
   7. Is there anything else you'd like us to consider while creating your content?
3. Meet with our Custom Content Specialist: During this meeting, our Custom Content Marketing Specialist will go over the above-mentioned questions with you, as well as gather any other specific information needed to create your unique piece. Following this discussion, you will receive a follow-up email summarizing the conversation, detailing the content plan, and providing a timeline for delivery.
4. Delivery of your custom content: the typical delivery time for custom content is approximately 7-10 business days. You will receive an email notification that your content is complete. In most cases, the email directs you where to find the template in your Levitate account, and will also contain a Google Document with the content.
   1. Email Template: Will be added to the “My Templates” section of your Levitate content library under the “Emails” tab.
   2. Social Media Content: Will be added to the “My Templates” section of your Levitate content library under the “Social Media” tab.
   3. HTML Design: Your custom HTML email design will be added to your HTML Campaigns in your Levitate account.

   4. Blogs: Will be added to the “Blogs” section of your Levitate content library under the “Blog Post Drafts” tab or delivered via a Google document if you don’t have a website through Levitate.

      
      
5. The editing process: We are happy to accommodate any revisions you may have. You can either email these changes or directly comment and edit them on the Google document or HTML deliverable. For changes to imagery for social media, please send them via email, and we can implement them for you using our design software. You can email up to three sets of edits via email or directly in the Google document we provide.
6. Preparing for send: Your custom content is now ready to send! You can grab it from your 'My Templates' section and schedule it with your preferred tags and send date, or work with your Customer Success Specialist to get it queued.
