Focus on Content Marketing
Content marketing is the basic foundation of your online brand development. In order to be recognized in your industry, it is important to give more emphasis on content marketing to convey your message to your prospective customers.
A few years back, simply maintaining an official blog was considered enough for brand awareness. But in this competitive digital age, you need to stay ahead of the game and explore some different content marketing hacks to engage your target audience.
Therefore, it is advised to invest your time and efforts in visual content, including infographics, videos, Gifs, slideshare and memes.
According to recent statistics, infographics are 3 times more liked and shared than any other type of content on social media channels. The standard long scrolling infographic is also perfect for mobile users who can simply swipe through them.
Moreover, VR technology is another strong medium that has a foothold in today’s digital marketing world. This is the reason, big brands are coming up with unique VR marketing strategies, and small business owners have still the option to opt for VR technology to deliver unique experience to their customers.
Create an Interesting Brand Story
Creating your brand story has now become indispensable marketing tactic to engage more audience and create brand recognition. It should be one of your top priorities in 2017, if you really want to get the most out of your corporate brand identity design.
Keep in mind that developing a compelling brand story can bring your business to life. In fact, one thing that can set your business apart is your own brand story. So, it is highly recommended to make it readable, shareable and most of all emotion inducing.
To make your brand story more effective, make sure your target audience know well about your brand and the people behind it. Therefore, it is important to add little information about your brand team members, founder, co-founder. Plus, you need to establish a direct line of communication between you and your audience through different content types such as visual content, blog posts and more.
Creating and maintaining company official blog is indeed the most effective way in this regard. Videos are another amazing way to make your customers familiar with your brand voice and tone. And, if that doesn’t enough to create user engagement, then nothing else will.
Focus on Millennial Shoppers
In near future, your business will solely rely on millennial generation. Believe it or not, millennials are more digitally connected than any other generation and business owners are little obsessed with millennials. Their spending power is expected to surpass $1 trillion by 2020.
A study says that four out of seven millennials prefer to connect with brands on social media who regularly offer discounts, free perks, excellent customer service and something interesting to read.
Another report says that businesses who continuously opt for the latest marketing techniques to build a strong customer relationship are ranked highest. In other words, they foster strong relationships just because of relatability, credibility and trustworthiness. So, in order to make your brand reliable, provide them a great user experience, entertain them and offer something interesting.
