Why and How to Write a Case Study for Your Business

Do you use case studies to get more clients? Do you know how to write a case study?

Case studies should be a part of your marketing tool bag. They can increase your exposure, impress your clients with your expertise, and help you sell more products and services.

Why Should I Write a Case Study?
Case studies are extremely powerful. Other than a client testimonial, there are few marketing strategies that are more effective in turning prospects into clients. Case studies:
• Tell the story of how you solve problems for your clients
• Build your brand and credibility
• Demonstrate measurable results
• Show clients your commitment to their success
• Serve as client endorsements

Case Studies Are Persuasive Online and Offline
Case studies are perfect for both online and offline marketing. Use keyword-rich case studies online to reach your target audience and demonstrate your expertise. Print the case study and include it in your press kit or other “leave-behind” marketing materials when you meet with your clients.

How Do I Write a Case Study?
Write a case study in three steps:
1. The Challenge: In a paragraph or two describe the specific challenge your client was facing.
2. The Solution: In two to three paragraphs discuss how you delivered a specific solution that solved the client’s challenge.
3. The Results: Report the measurable results of your solution. This is the most important part of the case study. You’ll have to get some of this information from your client but, believe me, your client will be happy to provide you with these stats when they see the value you’ve delivered. For maximum effectiveness, include a quote from the client touting the success of your solution.

Make Your Case With Case Studies
Case study marketing is not as well known (or employed as much) as article marketing, press release marketing, email marketing, and blogs. But it’s even more effective. Although these other marketing efforts are more popular, case studies are an incredibly successful way to position yourself as an expert in your field.

Want to impress your prospects? Want to convince your clients to buy your products and services with confidence? Consider case studies to literally make your case.
