How to Use Field Notes Special Edition for Your B2B Marketing Strategy

A while ago, I received my first quarterly drop from Field Notes Special Edition. As a long-time user of cheaper alternatives, I finally decided to invest in a year-long subscription to see if their premium versions lived up to the hype. 

The first drop came with a few unique content planning notebooks that I didn’t expect, and at first, I wasn’t sure how to use them in my day-to-day work. However, after some thought and experimentation, I found specific ways to integrate these into my routine as a B2B marketing agency owner. Here’s how these B2B organization tools can be applied in a marketing context.

1. The 56-page Ledger Book

The Ledger Book was the hardest to find an immediate use for. It’s designed to track finances, but, since I manage that digitally, it didn’t fit my workflow. However, I found a way to use it for tracking habits. If you’re working on building habits in your professional or personal life, this could be a great tool.

For example, if you’re aiming to improve your marketing content output, you could use this to track daily word counts for blog posts, newsletters, or any type of content. It’s also great for tracking consistency with lead-generation efforts or marketing campaigns.

Other Use Ideas:

  • Tracking fitness goals or milestones.
  • Logging the results of daily or weekly marketing experiments.

2. The 56-Page Log Book

The Log Book is my favorite and became immediately useful. As someone who produces video content and educational material about B2B marketing, I used this notebook to plan and organize my video ideas. Each page allows me to map out an idea. Then I dive deeper into the details, such as the script and key talking points.

If you’re managing a B2B marketing strategy, this Log Book can be repurposed to track marketing performance, content ideas, or even client project details. Use it as a brainstorming tool or to document insights from campaigns that are working well.

3. The Commonplace Notebook

The Commonplace Notebook is ideal for collecting information or creating a knowledge base around a specific topic. It’s been useful in capturing all the essential concepts related to B2B marketing. I use it to brainstorm strategies, jot down content ideas, and capture research notes.

This notebook could be particularly helpful if you’re managing multiple aspects of a marketing campaign. Use it to store quotes, ideas, or even marketing tactics you want to explore later.

4. The Date Book

The Date Book is a flexible notebook that allows you to start planning at any time. It’s a simple weekly calendar, and I found it useful for creating a roadmap for my book-writing project. You could also use it to map your content campaigns or any long-term B2B marketing strategy. The ability to track and adjust plans makes it ideal for agile marketing projects, where timing and adjustments are key.

These specialized Field Notes Special Edition content planning notebooks helped me stay organized, generate new ideas, and keep track of my ongoing marketing efforts. If you’re in the B2B space, consider how marketing organization tools like these can help streamline your workflow and keep your strategies on track.
