In today’s podcast, Elizabeth Pampalone from Absolute Marketing and Stephen Halasnik discuss the importance of creating marketing content for businesses. Modern marketing has assumed a new shape and dimension. Today, it’s no longer what’s used to be. The minimalist approach to marketing has now taken the center stage in marketing strategy. Every marketing content should be clear and resonate with the audience.

Creating One Year of Marketing Content in 5 Days

Marketing is critical to the growth and development of every business, especially small businesses. Many business owners who have realized the importance of effective marketing are recording excellent results in brand-building. Still, many entrepreneurs have failed to factor in the most efficient marketing content techniques in their marketing mix. Effective marketing strategy entails using a minimalist approach to make your message resonate with your target audience. In other words, marketing content of any sort should convey complicated messages in the simplest possible manner. More so, a

marketing content creators should be able to pick a color scheme, plus a combination of subtle design, thoughtful writing, and clarity to create an overwhelming effect on customers.

In recent times, inexpensive marketing strategies abound and are accessible to business owners, thanks to smart technologies. Gone are the days when business owners will have to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars and time trying to get their products out there. Today, entrepreneurs can now have their marketing content ready pretty quickly. For instance, leading experts in marketing content can create a website, blog, social media ads, podcast channels, and email blasts within a few days.

Why You Should Use Content Marketing in Your Business

In today’s world, traditional marketing approaches are becoming less and less effective by the day. As a business owner, it’s imperative you rethink your marketing strategy for a better marketing function. Perhaps, you’re thinking about what content marketing is. Its simplest definition means a strategic marketing approach that focuses on creating and distributing relevant information on specific platforms targeted to a defined audience to trigger profitable customer action. Some of the effective mediums that have facilitated content marketing over the years are websites, blogs, social media, podcasts, email marketing, and more. 

One unique feature of content marketing is that it provides relevant and helpful information that helps solve prospects’ and customers’ problems instead of overly pitching products and services.

Leveraging Mixed Content Marketing Strategies

Research has shown that a host of businesses are currently using content marketing in their marketing strategies. However, since marketing content can be performed on different platforms, it’s essential that business owners maintain their presence, at least in two or three of the channels. Put simply, using different channels for your marketing content makes it easy for you to reach out to numerous audiences. For example, some people prefer listening to podcasts to reading blog articles and vice versa. A well-blended marketing strategy ensures an effective marketing campaign and maximizes return on investment.

Measuring the Impact of Each Marketing Methodology

Many business owners make the mistake of concentrating their marketing efforts on a specific platform without measuring the impact on their key performance indicators. For instance, some marketers focus their marketing activities solely on social media platforms. However, while social media may be beneficial while interacting with existing customers, discoverability on social media may be highly limited. In this light, business owners should figure out the most effective marketing techniques to use. Many people are now opting for SEO because prospects and customers frequently discover businesses through search results, making search engine optimization critical in marketing today. 

Conclusion

Modern marketing demands a lot of specialized skills and expertise. The marketing landscape has dramatically changed due to advancements in technology. Many competing marketing platforms are in vogue today, but harnessing the specific platform that aligns with your business goals and provides results is where the challenges lie. Business owners should choose a media frequently used by their target audience. Using suitable media ensures that a company’s investment in advertising is highly optimized to generate a sizable return.

Bottom line: every marketing strategy should tilt towards increasing sales and business growth. Marketing should be carried out in a well-organized manner to ensure that target is reached and customers’ problems effectively solved.
