Most business leaders know that content marketing is a vital tool for attracting and converting customers. With buyers completing close to 60 percent of their purchasing decision before contacting your salespeople, the availability of quality web pages, blogs and other resources is essential. 

The challenge most companies face, however, is finding the time and inspiration to consistently create new pieces of content. This is where repurposing comes in handy. Rather than starting from scratch each time, marketers can save time and effort by turning blog posts into new types of content or framing them another way. Repurposing also offers buyers alternative ways to consume your content, which can help you reach different segments of your audience.
