Turn to Content Marketing for Long-Term ROI
There’s a reason why 88% of marketers use content marketing: it has a significant influence on most online marketing strategies. If you’re unconvinced of the power of content marketing and/or need to justify content investment to your boss, then check out the 10 value points of content marketing provided by Jayson Demers, Founder and CEO of AudienceBloom. Here are just a few of them that stand out:
- It can encourage more email signups and be used as the basis for an email marketing campaign.
- It provides source material for a social media marketing campaign.
- It encourages trust and faith in your brand.
- It can influence conversions.
I especially like what Jayson says about evergreen content being the foundation of permanent online real estate. If you create a great piece of content to educate your audience, you can simply update it over time to sustain its value and to deliver long-term ROI. (e.g., Content Calendar Template: 12 Must Have Fields)
You can also reuse content to get even greater long-term ROI. Check out the Content Marketing Pyramid for a frame work and guidance to help repurpose your best content assets and extend its value.
