CONTENT MARKETING
Engage customers with valuable content.
Stay relevant online
Content is king & always will be.
Yes, it’s cliché, and over-said, and kind of annoying to hear at this point. But it’s true, specifically when you think about the customer buying journey in today’s always-connected world. Content marketing has everything to do with the success of a brand. Statistics show that about 80% of the customer’s buying journey – from idea to purchase – is done online to learn more about the idea (i.e. wine weekend in Napa), evaluate different options, compare companies to deliver the desired outcome and finally get in touch with the selected provider or purchase online. During this 80% of the online journey, it is all about the content and first impressions (i.e. your website) that you created or someone else wrote about you (i.e. a review and your response).
“What helps people, helps business.” – Leo Burnett
Regardless of where people are in the buying cycle, they are looking for information – they want answers and to build trust with the company and their products/services to fulfill the purpose in the best possible way. Whether comparing product features or looking to solve a specific challenge, the goal is to answer those questions in a way that educates and inspires action. Content marketing that speaks to your customers will help you retain them. Content strategy tactics such as blog marketing can go a long way.
Content Creation can be challenging.
