Is Content Marketing yet is another Marketing Buzz word and "the next big thing" in eCommerce - to save you to sink thousands of Euros in Adwords campaigns?
If you once got the idea of Content Marketing, you still need, besides a solid content strategy, the technology to fulfill your needs on a long run.

3. • Entering eCommerce with a new online shop.
• The market is usually already set with competitors.
• How to get attention and attract new customers?
The Situation
4. • AdWords Marketing seems to be the solution.
• Buy marketshare using AdWords.
• Earn first money with your shop.
Google to the Rescue
6. • More and more competitors hit the same market.
• Throwing in more money in „Slot machine“ doesn’t
scale well.
• Hopefully your sales grow, but you loose revenue
because of growing marketing costs.
• The „bank“ always wins.
The Casino Dilemma
Did your AdWords Pro tell you?
7. Idea: Offer customers additional services and
information surrounding your shop offers, trying to
attract them on a long run.
• Generating valuable content is easy - if you have
a clear strategy.
• Don’t forget: Google still offers non-paid
rankings.
• „SEO is sooo yesterday.“
The solution
Content Marketing
9. • Let’s do a Reality Check!
• Only few content related extensions for shop systems
mostly island solutions.
• No workflow management.
• No access rights management.
• Not working together (eg. Shared Media, Contents).
• No solutions for a complete content marketing strategy.
But wait!
How to achieve this?
10. And now everybody screams: „OH?!“

Now everybody screams: OH!
11. • Version Control for Content
• Expandable with 1’200+ free extensions
• Granular Access Rights Management
• Workflows
• Continues Development
• and lots more
TYPO3 to the Rescue
12. Always putting Magento into TYPO3…
…seems to be the wrong way.
• Templating must be done in TYPO3 - even for the shop itself.
• Every Magento module needs a plugin to render in TYPO3
(eg. Featured Products, New arrivals, Cross-Selling, etc.)
• Might be slow when using Magento API for product queries.
• Where is my content (eg. transactional emails)?
• Do we really have all Magento functionality?
• Makes integration pricy and lengthy.

13. Integrating TYPO3 in Magento
Mage UniTY 2.0
• Combined Magento & TYPO3 Extension.
• Magento is the lead system for everything about sales
(eg. Products, Shopping Carts, Categories, Sales…)
• TYPO3 is the lead system for everthing about content
(eg. Landing Pages, Shipping, Legal Information,
Withdrawal, FAQ, CMS Blocks,…)
Let’s turn this around.
