A content marketing strategy helped one organization generate leads, increase web traffic, and drive sales and new business.
Why would my company blog? Do we really need to be on social media? What is a white paper, and who would read one that I wrote?
These are questions that many businesses in the manufacturing and warehousing space might ask. They don’t see or understand how they might benefit from content marketing.
TotalTrax might have asked the same sorts of questions several years ago. The company, which provides tracking technologies for manufacturing and warehouse operations, had experienced positive year-over-year growth for a decade. The website got decent traffic. Yet, there was a sense that there were many untapped opportunities for growth.
TotalTrax hired Fronetics Strategic Advisors to create and implement a content marketing plan to maximize the company’s digital presence. TotalTrax wanted to see results in the form of increased web traffic, new and better leads, and revenue. Fast forward 24 months, and that’s exactly what happened.
Content helped TotalTrax to achieve:
- 19% increase in overall web traffic
- 500% increase in traffic from social media
- 244 high-quality leads
- 30% net increase in new customers
- 10% growth in sales revenue

Fronetics designed a content marketing strategy that helped the logistics software company realize increases in new business and sales revenue.
Your company is doing pretty well. You have a nice website and a social media account or two. And you’ve experienced year-over-year growth. Why would you do anything differently?
Just ask TotalTrax, a provider of real-time vehicle, driver, and inventory tracking technologies for manufacturing and warehouse operations. Despite a decade of positive growth, the company realized there were many untapped opportunities for new business. So the TotalTrax team hired Fronetics Strategic Advisors to create and implement a new, data-driven marketing strategy that could increase web traffic, lead generation, and brand awareness.
After a comprehensive audit of TotalTrax’s digital assets, Fronetics was able to recommend a course of action and implement a multi-channel content marketing program. The program included such steps as:
- Creating a blog and posting regular targeted content
- Consistently posting on TotalTrax’s social media accounts
- Implementing paid search, email marketing, and other strategies
After just 24 months, TotalTrax realized significant gains in web traffic, lead generation and nurturing, and — most importantly — new business and sales revenue.

A 2013 survey of B2B marketers by LinkedIn found that when it comes to lead generation, customer testimonials and case studies are considered the two most effective content marketing tactics. Why are customer testimonials and case studies so effective? Because they are content that is valued and trusted by B2B buyers.
How can you write a B2B case study that generates leads?
Here are five elements of an effective case study.
- A case study is a story. Case studies that read like a story succeed. Case studies that are written, for example, as a sales pitch fall flat and fail to attract and engage prospective buyers.
- Case studies are not a sales pitch. Inform and educate through the sales pitch, but do not “sell.” An effective case study will generate new customers and sales.
- Prospective buyers turn to case studies for concrete examples. Make it easy for the reader to obtain the information desired. Bullet points, quotes, and lists are all examples of how you can deliver the highlights.
- Keep it short and sweet. A case study should provide the prospective buyer with enough information, but should not go into the minutia.
- Include these three components: the challenge, the solution, and the results.
