New Customer Approaches Emerge in the Digital Age

If your business has been online for any amount of time you already know how emerging trends have changed the customer journey. I agree that in order to reach them you need to approach them on their level.

Zambito explains different methods of reaching your audience in the midst of a digital age.

Here's what caught my attention:

• Just sixteen years ago the business landscape was very different. Today digital technology has shifted buyer persona development and insight gathering.

• In order to reach customers today there needs to be new thinking and new approaches in place. This needs to go beyond analytics tools and outdated sales practices.

• The what, how and why of your audience must now be measured through observation. Words are far less effective in measurement -- it's action that counts.

How customers see your business impacts your visibility online. I agree that in order to garner their attention in this next year you need find out what they are looking for in a brand, and why.

Newman shows the latest changes in marketing and the impact that digital technology has played.

Here's what caught my attention:

• In the age of digital transformation it will be even more important to be focused on your customers. The most successful will be able to understand their target market.

• Executives must be data-driven in order to effectively engage and measure their campaigns. Technology will continue to be a necessary component.

• While content is still king it is video that continues to climb to the top in preference for audiences. Augmented reality will also play a large part in online engagement.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Tony Zambito because it provides insights on how digital and online information has transformed content marketing.

The idea of strategizing content has diminished over the last few years due to mobile and technology trends.

Why Context is More Important Than Content

Content should be tailored for your audience and what makes sense to them specifically. I agree that you can reach more people by reducing the amount of information being presented to them.

Zambito explains the basics of context in how it relates to today's online consumer.

Here's what caught my attention:

• In order to be effective marketers need to understand the method of a connected series of stories. These should involve goal-directed behaviors and activities of buyers.

• When it comes to effectively using context timing is critical. It's about what buyers are experiencing over time rather than a specific trigger.

• Understanding the goals of your audience will help you move toward context. Not doing so can lead to content marketing failure.
