Get Seen As An Expert With Local Branded Content

Your customers are media savvy. They have their DVRs, which allow them to fast-forward through commercials. They listen to satellite radio, so they aren’t bothered by those “pesky” radio announcements. They often ignore magazine and newspaper advertisements altogether. And they are so adept at online surfing, that they tune out website banners completely.

This is where content marketing comes in.

What exactly is content marketing?

Content marketing is a marketing process that realizes and acknowledges the fact that most consumers are now capable of completely disregarding the “noise” of the marketing efforts they are being exposed to on a daily basis. It is a technique that involves creating and curating unique, relevant content that your customers will find useful and valuable. It is the art of communicating with your potential customers without directly selling to them. Instead of simply selling your services and products, you are giving information to your prospective customers that can teach them something. If done correctly, you will be marketing without interrupting your customers’ lives and you could ultimately be rewarded with their business, support and loyalty.

Create A Magazine Ad

It’s no secret that the digital age has become increasingly integrated into our daily routine, even 10 years after the first iPhone was released. We are capable of doing our work, communicating globally and reading publications electronically almost anywhere.

While technology continues to develop and become more intertwined with our everyday lives, people continue to remain tactile. People love to physically hold or touch something. As a matter of fact, the Nielson survey shows a decline for the second year in a row of eBook sales and an increase in print sales in the UK. Our world is saturated with technology and digital advertisements. People are responding to this saturation with a renewed interest in print. There are a number of magazines published exclusively online, such as Past Magazine and Spin Magazine, but have recently begun providing print copies as well.

Sponsor Article Content

Research shows that people remember branded content twice as long as they remember a traditional advertisement. But creating your own branded videos, blogs, or podcasts can require a lot of bandwidth.

If you’ve always wanted to experiment with this strategy, but haven’t had the time or resources to produce your own campaigns, sponsoring content from other companies or influencers might be the right strategy for you. Sponsored content has been around for decades and got its start in print publications. But as online marketing has taken over the way we consume content, we’ve seen sponsorships move from print to web. Now, sponsored content is even thriving on social platforms like Instagram.
