A free AAPEXedu attendee webinar, “Content Marketing: Your Newest Secret Weapon?,” is slated for
Wednesday, May 7, at 4 p.m., EST. The webinar will focus on using content
marketing to establish credibility via expert status, as a sales tools,
and to maximize search engine optimization (SEO). The 2014 Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) is set
for Tuesday,
Nov. 4 through Thursday, Nov. 6, at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nev.

According to the
Content Marketing Institute, content marketing is the marketing and
business
process for creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to
attract,
acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience –
with the
objective of driving profitable customer action. That’s a formal way of
saying that by sharing good content (with no strings attached),
prospects and clients will be educated enough to be influenced – most
commonly,
to make a buying decision.

The webinar is part of the new, monthly AAPEXedu Webinar Series
to help ensure attendees grow their business and get the most out of their
participation in the 2014 AAPEX. Additional attendee webinars will cover
“Branding” (June), “Direct Response Marketing” (July), “Referral Marketing” (August), “Copywriting” (September) and “How to Get the Most Out of AAPEX” (October).

Steve Miller, strategic marketing expert, is
leading the new AAPEX attendee webinars.
