Content writing is one of the key techniques to boost business through digital platform. In my experience while we design website, the main tedious phase was story board for particular solution. I involved with product related R&D engineers, sales, marketing and customer support team to know various dimensions of product/solution. Now a day’s world evolves around one term VALUE. I follow different approaches for content which depicts value points of product/solution. Attribute analysis, SWOT analysis, value proposition canvas are few approaches to grab value deliverable content of any product for showcase in website and advertisement.

All these approaches were very well defined and useful. But problem is context switching in web design and development process. After design the story board, UI designer, developer, SEO team, graphic design team are in one single line. But lots of miscommunication, time consuming and poor outcomes takes place some times. I gone through lots of articles and keynotes from Gartner on Content marketing strategies. Finally, with all my experiences I came up with Value Story Canvas which eradicates my above-mentioned problems. This canvas defines step wise process from start to publish perfect value story on website which improves business productivity and reach lots of target users.
