How do you build an effective content strategy?

 

“People don’t buy what you do; people buy why you do it,” according to author Simon Sinek. The best brands give customers reasons to care about them. Unless your brand can climb into your prospect’s consideration set, that prospect will not seriously consider your brand for purchase. The earlier you reach your prospect in the customer decision journey, the better chance you have to make the sale. The secret may well lie in the power of content marketing.

 

What is content marketing?

Let’s start with my definition of marketing, which I describe as the process by which a firm profitably translates customer needs into revenue. So, what is content marketing? I believe it is the creation and application of all marketing content formats across relevant touch points where your brand “touches” customers.

"So, if people are more likely to respond to a story, why do salespeople try to persuade customers with facts and figures?"

 

Hey folks -- if you want a quick and easy-to-digest post (and free download) of the neuroscience of storytelling, then go grab this article and mini e-book.

 

Author Michael Harris has put all the salient material together for us. It's perfect for trainings and workshops.

 

There are times when you audience does want facts. Just know that the order goes story first, facts second. That way you'll avoid endless debates, as Michael also points out.

 

If you want to dig into this topic more deeply, then read Kendall Haven's book Story Proof for all of the specific studies on storytelling and the brain.

 

Enjoy the rest of your day!
