Marketing campaigns have a way of sticking with us long after an impression or initial purchase. Why is that? Campaigns make businesses memorable and they don't just happen by accident. They require time, attention, and most importantly - strategic planning. Is your goal to increase sales of a specific product or service, direct more people to a landing page or generate traffic to your website? When you’ve worked out the parameters of “success” you can start to look at how to craft the campaign. If you’re still relying on content marketing campaigns that consist of a blog post with some social promotion, you are doing the bare minimum. It’s time to up your game.

How do I up my game?

Simple. Focus your efforts to guide consumers towards the desired action by giving your brand identity, personality, and emotion. If your content can solve a big problem for your readers, they’ll remember it. Considering there are approximately 1.6 billion websites and more than 70 million blog posts published each month, there is an infinite amount of information for your audience to click on. Creating content with no understanding of what works for your audience and your brand is a waste of time and resources. That’s why your marketing campaigns need to be centered around engaging content

These factors will help make your content the focal point of your marketing campaigns. 

  • Educate your audience
  • Boost SEO
  • Social media feedback

Educating your audience is key to great marketing content

Education through content marketing can take many forms: practical (how-tos and tutorials), analytical (deep dives into specific subjects), or brand-specific (product information and features). The more you educate your audience through these resources the more your customers will make good purchasing decisions. The important part here is that the content addresses the concerns and pain points of customers.

High-quality content helps boost SEO

There is no such thing as SEO without content because you need words, articles, substance, keywords, and verbiage. Optimizing your content to appear in relevant searches will be a huge boost in attracting new leads to ensure your content is always of high quality in order to boost your SEO.

Content creates an avenue for social media feedback

There are a variety of different ways to collect customer feedback, and surveys are usually the first method that comes to mind. In fact, you could be missing out on valuable customer feedback: social media. It is a meaningful channel through which to collect valuable feedback through your content as you leverage a better connection with customers. The data you gather from such visits can be useful in nurturing them as a lead and turn them into your new favorite customer.
