Content Strategy For Business Growth

Content Strategy For Business Growth

Content Strategy

When it comes to your business, the content you create determines the interaction you have with your customers, or potential customers. Today, we have so many options to choose from for how we communicate with customers you already have, and the ones you hope to have. As a small business owner, or entrepreneur, you don’t always stop to think which content option is best for your business. Knowing what your options are and why choose one over the other is a step towards efficient communication with your intended audience. The result, when you choose the right form of communication, is finding the customer (s) that’s willing to pay for your services or products.

 Your Content Strategy Options

Below you will find a short video that outlines options for communicating about your business, service, product, and why you should choose each. The content in the video is similar to the blog post I wrote on the six content you can use to build your brand. As similar as the two posts may be, this is more visual, and speaks directly to why you would build a website, grow your social media audience, or choose other communication options to deliver your message. The goal is to communicate the right information, with the right tool, that will effectively reach your audience.

I also thought that I would share the transcript of the video. It’s for those of us business owners with little time and would prefer to skim the content. I know while building a business is important, other aspect of life is equally important. Before diverting your attention to family or other facets of your life, take a moment and either watch the video or read the transcript. Your business will thank you.

Share your thoughts or questions about the video and what you would like other videos to be about.
