The Pristine Authority – Colored Papers and You
In today’s society, when one speaks of white and green papers, the topic is typically an analysis of an industry issue or the description or debate of a technology innovation. Originally, however, the terms were used in regards to official publications of governmental proposals and policies. The use of white papers, in particular, in marketing reveals their current nature, which in truth goes far beyond product or service marketing; sharing technical details regarding the product or service. The purpose of green papers is to share unofficial or proposed information and ideas for consideration by the readers. White papers are used to deliver official information on products, services and policies, containing information detailed enough to form a working knowledge sufficient to allow them decision-making preparation. In preparing green and white papers, particularly in business marketing, the problem is balancing between the persuasiveness of the papers with the technical content. It is all too easy to fall into one of two patterns: stressing the benefits and features of the product or service in question and end up sounding too much like an emotional sales pitch or getting too detailed in the technical information presented, leaving the reader uninspired and even antithetic towards your product or service.
On the Writing of Colored Papers
Everyone writing colored papers seeks to be regarded as an authority in their field and on the subject they are writing about. Well-constructed papers, writing with the intended audience in mind, are considered one of the best ways of achieving this status. Taking a complex or highly technical aspect of your subject, issue or industry and preparing a detailed analysis of it helps establish you as an authority. The persuasion aspect of colored papers helps establish you as a thought leader in your field. It is important to note that colored papers do not “dumb down” the facts of an issue or idea. Colored papers place it into common-use language that those outside of the industry or issue can understand. For instance, colored papers can translate industry jargon into everyday English (or other language). Getting beyond the jargon does not mean the issue or idea has to be overly simplified. As is often pointed out, particularly in legalistic circles, it does not take $50-words to make a point. The writing of green and white papers can be revolutionary when it comes to establishing you and your company as authorities in your field. This is particularly true if, instead of simply analyzing a past issue or present condition or product, if you are able to project into the future, presenting new potentials for your industry and recommending particular courses of realistic action.
The Need for Talent
So the big question is, if writing these papers is so effective, why is not everyone doing it? The answer is that, as with most things in life, it is not that simple. Not every industry or activism professional has the talent for writing required for creating these documents. Preparation of the documents must be a balance between informative and readable. One problem is, when dealing with complex and highly technical issues, they are just that, complex and highly technical. Preparing a green or white paper means creating something that is readable and engaging out of the volume of data and analysis can be a challenge. Credibility can be extremely hard to earn, but can be destroyed in an instant. Developing an authoritative paper can do either, depending not only on the content, but also upon the quality of the writing. Another problem is that knowing what to exclude is as important as what is actually included in the papers. Accomplishing this can be tricky. What one audience might find important may have little relevance to another. Oft times this means writing separate color papers for each audience, focusing on the specific interests of each. Naturally this means additional work, but will in all likelihood prove far more effective. Clouding this is the need to include your view or that of your company into the paper. Although communicating your idea is in itself difficult, incorporating it into the technical information of a green or white paper can be even more so. Knowing what you want to communicate and actually achieving that goal are two distinctly different things. Many companies and organizations employ professional staff writers to handle situations like this, but what of smaller companies and organizations that cannot afford to employ such a professional full-time? Even they can have green and white papers written to their needs by professional freelance writers, allowing them the same professional image as the big boys. The problem is finding qualified freelance writers.
