What Is Content Marketing?
Useful content should be at the heart of your marketing process.
Traditional marketing is becoming less and less effective at a time; as a forward-thinking marketer, you know there needs to be a better way forward.
Enter the content of marketing.
“Content marketing is a competitive advertising strategy focused on creating and delivering useful, appropriate and reliable content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and ultimately drive successful product activity.”
Instead of setting up your products or services, you are supplying your clients or consumers with genuinely relevant and useful information to help them solve their problems.
Content marketing is being used by leading brands
Our annual research shows that the vast majority of marketers use content marketing. In fact, it is used by many prominent organizations around the world, including P&G, Microsoft, Cisco Systems, and John Deere. It is also being developed and run by small businesses and one-person shops around the globe. Why? Why? Because it’s working.
Content marketing is great for your bottom line — and for your clients.
Actually, there are three key reasons — and benefits — for businesses that use content marketing:
- Increased sales
- Cost savings
- Better customers who have more loyalty
Content is the present — and the future — of advertising.
Go back and read the content definition of marketing again, but this time remove the relevant and valuable. That’s the difference between content marketing and other informational garbage you get from companies trying to sell you “stuff.” Companies are sending us information all the time–it’s just that most of the time it’s not very relevant or valuable (can you say spam?). That’s what makes content advertising so fascinating for thousands of marketing messages per user per day in today’s environment.
Marketing is impossible without a lot of content
Irrespective of what sort of marketing tactics you use, content marketing should be part of your system, not something different. Quality content forms part of all ways of marketing:
- Social Media Marketing: Content marketing strategy is ahead of your social media strategy.
- SEO: Search engines award businesses who publish quality, reliable content.
- PR: Successful PR strategies address issues that readers care about, not their business.
- PPC: You want great content to get PPC to function.
- Inbound marketing: content is the key to driving and driving inbound traffic.
- Product management: Brand planning is part of the majority of content marketing approaches.
What if your clients are looking forward to your marketing? What if they spent 15, 30, 45 minutes with it when they received it, via print, e-mail, website? What if they were doing it and discussing it with their peers?
