Content Marketing Builds Trust in a Low Trust World
Content Marketing has evolved and flourished in the digital age as three parallel trends took over. Digital media gave users so much control that reaching them with advertising became harder and harder. Users actively blocked intrusive ads they didn’t trust on web sites, and then began to pay for ad-free services. At the same time, first Yahoo and Excite, then Google and Bing made it easier and easier to use the internet to seek information, answer questions, or shop. Search engines thrive on content. As social media took over the attention of so many consumers, marketers found that providing “sharable” content was an important way to market their ideas, their products, or their services.
Today, the most valuable consumers—the influential ones trusted by their friends and colleagues—are the hardest to reach. They are the most pro-active about controlling their own media consumption from voices they trust. They are less likely to get ideas on social media they don’t trust, and more likely to promote their own ideas there. These health and wellness and happiness leaders are big consumers of content, but careful where they spend their time and attention. Trusted media is where they get the knowledge that makes them respected by their friends and family making them influential.
Spirituality & Health is one of those trusted media bringing them new ideas, new ways of thinking, and deeply considered life enhancement research and writing.
Marketers of all categories benefit when they build content marketing into their plans, to help their potential consumers understand the need for their product or service, to seed the word-of-mouth that drives viral success, and to support the final purchase decision when a potential customer asks a knowledgeable friend about their opinion on this retreat-vacation idea or that CBD infusion.
