3 IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF CONTENT MARKETING


Today  marketers are looking for every possible and available marketing strategy through which he or she can out cast and outnumber his/her competitor in every possible manner.  

Today there are numerous media options, like social media platforms, online and offline media platforms etc, are available through which you can advertise your brand and product. But the most important thing which is common in all marketing options available which can help you create a unique identity for your brand that makes a long lasting impact on the consumer’s mind too is engaging and relevant content.

Content is one of the most important and essential elements of any marketing strategy which can make it unique among other competitors. So content marketing is a strategic marketing approach to consistently create and distribute relevant, creative and valuable content to attract, engage and acquire a clearly defined and understood target audience with the objective of retaining and driving profitable customer action.

Content marketing now has become bigger than ever and most popular marketing tool for brand awareness for any company. Content marketing is still an evolving concept but most companies now know it is an essential component for their marketing strategy.

To make any content marketing campaign successful requires a carefully planned strategy and coordinated implementation.

To deliver successful content marketing strategy/campaign there should be some component that you should base your frame work upon, these components are:

The Audience: the audiences or we can say buyers or consumers are the main target of any marketing strategy. All the marketing strategy is formulated and created while keeping in mind the customers choices, behavior and lifestyle. Before creating any marketing strategy for content marketing we need to research and gather as much as information about the customers. Once you have all the essential and required information about the customer than you can formulate the content and marketing strategy for your audience and can convey the message as per your customers’ needs and requirement.

The Content: after gathering all the required information about the customer, the next aspect of your strategy that you need to consider is the content itself. Once you have clearly defined your audience then you can begin creating your content. You should choose most appropriate and effective content format according to your audience. The content which you choose to communicate can be in any form. This could be an image like info graphic, meme, etc, written content like blogs for social media post, a press release, a report etc or could be in Video or in audio form. Keeping in mind your target audience you can write the content and can mention the problem and the primary issue which your product can solve for them.

The channel: After creating the content the next component is to find the channel through which you would deliver the content to your targeted audiences. Choosing the marketing channel is one of the most important factors because unfortunately most content that gets posted online gets little to no traction. While choosing the channel you have to pick the platform which is suitable to your audience and which they use more often so that content can get more audience.

Always remember how to deliver your content is as important as the content itself. So if you create a very appealing and impressive content but choose a wrong channel, then it would not reach the targeted audiences at the right time and place. As a result audience engagement will be lower and marketing objectives would not be met.
