4 Content Marketing Ideas for Your Small Business

Marketing is all about content. Consumers want to see exactly what your business has to offer and how it can benefit their lives. Digital marketing is highly dependent on content marketing.

But what, exactly, does content marketing mean? Content marketing can be defined as a strategic marketing approach that focuses on creating consistent content materials to drive customer and lead generation. So how can your business get involved with content marketing? Here are four big ideas to get you started.

Start a blog

A consistent and well-written blog hosted by your small business gives you the opportunity to relate to both clients and potential customers at the same time. Dedicate an employee to posting one blog article a week through your website. Share the article via your business’ social media accounts or email marketing.

Blogging is an excellent opportunity for you to showcase your knowledge. Write about topics such as how your product or service can improve lives, testimonials about people you’ve served, or why your business is a better option than competition. You can even get personal and write about daily news topics or expert tips from your field.

Give a guided tour

Your small business can also utilize technology to record and share a guided tour of your facilities, complete with employee interviews and surprise interactions. Some consumers may feel uncertain about working with a business if they don’t know what’s “behind the curtain,” so make them feel comfortable by opening up with approachable content.

Record a video while touring your facilities and show clients the inner workings of your business. Afterward, you can share this video as part of your content marketing plan.n Customers will feel engaged and attended-to, while also gaining a sense of trust for your small business.

Host a webinar

Right alongside a guided video tour is a webinar. While these may sound difficult, they offer a huge opportunity for potential customers to see your business and its expertise in the field. Develop a webinar on instructing clients how to use a specific product or service, offer hands-on training and real-life examples.

The most important part of hosting a webinar is offering real value to people. If consumers feel like your business has something important to offer them, the webinar will be more successful and generate more leads. Once you’ve given the webinar a try, see about making it a weekly or even monthly part of your business’s marketing strategy.

Develop a (blank) of the week

If your business is active on social media, create a content marketing strategy based on what you post. One easy method is developing a (blank) of the week… product, service, employee, board member, you name it. This type of content marketing allows consumers to get to know your business better and gives them something to look forward to every week.

One specific example is promoting a Question of the Week. Allow customers to write in via email, social media, or snail mail with questions for your business, then answer them every week. This shows your organization’s transparency and eagerness to work with clients on a personal and relatable level.

When it comes to content marketing for your small business, jump on board with these ideas. Getting content marketing right is important. The more content you provide, the more involved your customers will feel, and your lead generation will skyrocket. So give it a try, and give it some content.
