How Penmo Simplified Content Marketing For Thirty Fathoms

Thirty Fathoms: Re-Inventing Fishing Products

Creating consistent, high-quality content is one of the biggest challenges for small business owners. For Thirty Fathoms, a company in the recreational fishing industry, content marketing was always on the to-do list—but never a priority. The business owner knew that sending regular marketing emails and updates would help engage customers, but time constraints and lack of motivation made content writing a struggle.

That’s when the company partnered with Penmo. By providing an easy-to-use content creation platform, Penmo allowed Thirty Fathoms to streamline its marketing efforts, save time, and establish a structured content plan.

The Challenge: Managing and Creating Content with Limited Available Time

Thirty Fathoms, a company specializing in consumer products for the recreational fishing market, needed a better way to manage its content strategy. Before using Penmo, the company’s content marketing efforts were minimal, limited to sending out advertising emails once every four to six weeks via a MailChimp list.

However, even this simple task proved difficult to maintain due to several challenges:
 

  • Lack of a content plan: Without a structured approach, content was created sporadically, leading to inconsistent engagement with customers.
  • Time constraints: Writing quality content takes time, and as a business owner, there were more pressing priorities.
  • Missed opportunities: Infrequent content meant fewer chances to connect with customers and increase engagement.

Before adopting Penmo, Thirty Fathoms struggled to maintain any kind of structured content marketing strategy. I recognized the value of consistent content but lacked the time and motivation to produce it regularly.

The Evaluation

Below are the key issues that faced the company’s content marketing efforts.

Lack of a Content Plan
Without a structured content strategy, content was created on an as-needed basis. This reactive approach led to gaps in communication with customers.

Inadequate Time For Content
Like many small business owners, the owner of Thirty Fathoms had a long list of responsibilities. Writing emails, blog posts, and social media updates required time and effort that simply wasn’t available. As a result, content creation was deprioritized, leading to inconsistent messaging.

Missed Engagement Opportunities
Every missed email, blog post, or social media update represented a lost opportunity to connect with potential customers. Without regular content updates, the business wasn’t able to stay top-of-mind with its audience.

The company needed a solution that would allow it to generate content efficiently without adding to the workload. After evaluating different options, Thirty Fathoms chose Penmo because of its ease of use and ability to produce content aligned with the brand’s needs.

After working with Penmo, Thirty Fathoms was able to address these challenges and take control of its content marketing strategy.
