Content Marketing
Content marketing is one of those terms that gets thrown around a lot but isn’t always that well understood. So, what is it and why is it important for your brand? In short, content includes targeted written materials, videos, graphics and social media messages that tend to promote services without focusing on a single brand. Marketing with content involves a strategic approach to distributing and using that content to reach targeted audiences.
Why It’s not the Same as a Commercial
In contrast to a traditional commercial, content marketing will often address a particular concern or issue your potential patient may have without making the entire content about your services. For example, if you’re a dermatologist promoting a new wrinkle reducer, you’ll find that potential clients have likely already been let down by other products and are skeptical. Merely jumping in and stating what the product is and what it does won’t be as effective as creating content that talks about aging skin issues and how they can be helped. Within that content a link to your site or a call to action at the bottom will be included to direct people to you if they want more information.
What Separates Good Content from Mediocre
