If you really want to steal the show in the digital space and see the resultant spurt in the growth of your business, content marketing is the right choice to invest. The online marketplace is already overcrowded, and you should take it for granted that your competitors are already there. And to stand out in the crowd, you need to be different – different in quality, content and creativity so as to engage, entertain, and educate your target audience and woo them towards your band and business.
In order to facilitate the desired results you need to seriously consider content marketing as a key marketing tool that can deliver impressive ROI (Return on Investment). The effectiveness of content marketing is such that over 82% of marketers are estimated to be already into content creation. In terms of traffic, lead generation and conversion, content marketing is far ahead of traditional means of advertising.
Content Marketing – Its Evolution & Explosion
The onset of online marketing has opened up a plethora of new opportunities and possibilities for marketers as well as consumers. Online marketing paved the way for a sea change in the way consumers interact with brands and their expectations on digital experiences keep on increasing. In this backdrop content marketing emerged as a key online marketing strategy for businesses to assuage the aspirations of consumers. As a business owner, you may be already active online, but that is not enough in today’s challenging market situation. If your website, social media pages or blogs fail to provide the information desired by a potential customer, he will simply look elsewhere – your competition. Effective and meaningful content marketing can bridge this gap.
Let us examine a few of the salient benefits of content marketing:
Remarkable ROI
You are in business for getting better return on your investment. Your marketing, promotions, and advertising, all are aimed at attracting more customers, more business, more revenue, and more profits. As already mentioned, content marketing costs much less vis-à-vis conventional advertising. At the same time content marketing fetches multiple times more traffic and leads, and you get phenomenal ROI.
Enhances SEO Rankings
Every business on the digital space wants to have higher rankings on the search engine. There is hardly any other strategy other than blogging that can place your brand prominently on the search engine result pages. Think like an online searcher and develop your content in such a way so as to satisfy his/her queries. Contents that convince your target audience build a strong bond with your brand. More useful contents attract more visitors and result in higher ranking of your brand, ultimately translating to more leads and more conversions.
Know Your Customer Better
Boosting engagement with users apart, responses to your blog content enable you to get useful insight into what your viewers are actually looking for. Accordingly you can reframe your contents. If a piece of your content is well received by consumers, you can replicate it by adding more inputs but avoiding monotony. Similarly, under-performing contents also need to be analyzed for its weaknesses and turn them to strengths. By knowing your customers well, you can tailor-make your contents consistently, build trust and relationship with existing and potential customers which will stand in good stead for continuous increase in your online traffic and revenue.
Attract Potential Customers and Turn Them Loyal
You need to have a well defined content marketing strategy with a continuous “review and revise” mechanism. This will maintain and accelerate the flow of new customers to your content page and keep them there. As your website contains all relevant information and details about your business, it is the best platform for posting your contents regularly. By carrying relevant and useful contents, traffic will increase and your website will become more popular. While your existing customers will further strengthen their relationship with your brand, potential customers will turn actual customers and gradually become loyal to your brand.
Cost Efficient
Whether yours is a large, medium or small business, a big marketing team is not a pre-requisite for effective and result-driven content marketing.
