If you want to be competitive in 2019, your company has to have a website and that website must be governed by an effective content marketing strategy. Unfortunately, too many business owners think that putting up a website and keeping a blog is enough; however, a successful content marketing strategy is much more multifaceted than that and often takes the help of a professional to perfect. If you’re looking for ways to improve your content marketing approach, our team at NUVEW can help. Some of the most basic elements that we believe are critical to a thriving content marketing plan include–
Define Target Market
Before you even start designing your website, and certainly before you put any content on it, you must define your target market. Essentially, this is the process of identifying who your potential customer is, including how old they are, where they live, their gender, their income level or profession, their socioeconomic status, and even their likes and dislikes. Until you truly understand your target customer, you cannot create a marketing strategy that is designed to attract that customer.
Content Is King, and Consistency is Queen
Sure, the saying that “content is king” may be a little dated, but it’s just as true in 2019 as it’s ever been. The idea behind this phrase is that the content that you post on your website will (hopefully) make a significant impression on your customer, and therefore the content that you post must be engaging, informative, authoritative, and original. And not only that, but you must post consistently. This means that your website cannot have the same content on it for too long, or go for too many days without an update.
Your Brand Must Tell a Story
You’ve already identified your target customer; now it’s time to figure out your message and what exactly it is you have to say and offer. Remember that it’s not just about focusing on the how of your product or service, but the why. Why is your company unique? Why should a customer choose you over the other guy?
The why behind your brand needs to be told through a story, and your brand’s story needs to be reiterated in every piece of content that you post, whether that’s a blog on your website, a blurb on social media, or the background image on one of your landing pages.
