Capturing Your Audience Through Content

Good Content Solves Problems

Content marketing is a strategic approach to marketing that focuses on the consistent creation of relevant, authoritative, and valuable content. The purpose of distributing this type of content is to build and retain an audience and ultimately drive potential customers to your product or service. Basically, you are providing prospective clients with solutions to their problems.

Rather than promoting your product directly through traditional marketing campaigns, content marketing works in unison with search engine optimization to promote your products organically through different mediums including the following:

• Blogs
• Infographics
• Webinars
• Tutorials
• Podcasts

In all forms, content is a means for companies and brands to earn consumer attention and money. Furthermore, social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest have made sharing content easier than ever before. Because of this, consumers are overloaded with information in all aspects of their lives. So, it is crucial that your content stands out above the rest.

So far, you know that content must be meaningful to the consumer for it to stand out. But, how do you do this? Here are some content creation tips and tricks the Market MindShift team has learned.

Be a Friend

For most successful businesses, it is important to build a relationship with the customer. In the absence of personal interaction, content creation allows a company to “speak” to their audience indirectly. So, create the piece as if it were for a friend. This means that content should have a positive and familiar tone, and encourage a sense of community.

Before creating your content, you will want to conduct detailed research about who your audience is so that you are giving the best info in the most efficient way. The goal of this is to make “your friend’s” life easier by producing content that he or she wants to see.

Be Bold

Today, consumers are oversaturated with information about new products or services no matter where they are. When creating content for your business, be bold. Do not be afraid to try new things or run with an idea you may have. Of course, no campaign can be foolproof, but risks can pay off when handled properly. A good rule of thumb is to always create content that you believe your audience will want to see. With today’s analytics software, it has become easier to predict what consumers may like, but at the end of the day you may need to step out of your comfort zone to catch people’s attention.

Get Creative

Throw tradition to the wind, and get creative with your content. An inventive mindset can lead brands away from the competition. Moreover, it is better to be a trendsetter rather than a trend follower. Creativity is a great way to grab a potential customer’s attention when kickstarting a campaign or promoting a new product. However, do not try to force creativity through content creation. Authentic creativity should be applied that identifies a business need or consumer expectation. In doing so, content becomes more meaningful and consumers are likely to be drawn to it.

Learn New Things

Of course, being knowledgeable in your field is essential for best practices, but also learning new things will help in a big way. Most industries are constantly changing due to advancements in technology, so it is crucial for you to strive to learn more. By taking the time to stay up to date, you will improve your content. This shows your potential customers that your brand is always striving to improve their experience.
