Content Marketing | Some Tips

content marketing

Smaller businesses are driving content marketing initiatives by double that of large businesses.

Over two-thirds attribute social media as their primary marketing venue. Why? Because social media works and it’s far less expensive than direct mail or print/TV advertising.

Corporate blogs add real value to the mix

Small business blogs can increase website viewership by over 50%.  In today’s business climate of shrinking budgets, blogs have become a low cost viable online marketing strategy. As higher and higher percentages of shoppers search the Internet to research products and services, well designed and maintained corporate blogs frequently add real value to the mix.

The Challenge of Providing Valuable Content

While content has to be relevant to the company, it needs to provide value to the visitor as well. Simply creating posts that promote your products or services will have diminished results. Ideally, blog posts should offer fresh, value-add information to the visitor, enough so that they’ll want to return for more.

The Real Goal?

What are we are looking for on our websites? I’ll venture “recurring traffic.”  Why? Because return visitors are considerably more likely to respond to a call-to-action. Successful blogs build regular readership that, over time, foster a business relationship of know, like and trust. Prospects just don’t buy products or services. They buy from people or businesses they know, like and trust.

Content marketing requires a commitment of time

Posts need to be frequent enough to sustain readership, and contain a consistent source of useful (relevant) information. Building a readership takes time, sometimes months before users recognize your blog as worth following and recommending to others.

Corporate blogs should engage your entire organization

If you’re responsible for your company’s blog, look for ways to engage others within your organization to contribute. The collective knowledge of everyone in your company shapes who you are. Connecting with your visitors on multiple levels leverages and sustains your marketing efforts, and ultimately, your return-on-investment (ROI).
