Over the next few days, I am going to share tips on the ideal way to maximise your online search campaign. let’s start here with tip number 1.
Tip 1: Create Content That Builds Trust
The online research specialist ‘Forrester’, released a report earlier this month to measure how consumer sentiment has been influenced since the COVID-19 outbreak. The report stated, “Consumers are less optimistic that companies will follow through on the promises they make.” As a result, it is important to reassure clients now, rather than overwhelm them with sales opportunities.
An ideal way to deliver a sound message is to focus your pitch on comfort and hope rather than a defined sales opportunity. Work with your potential audience to deliver a message of integrity and allow your ability to help them feel in control of their lives. The idea here is that brands that deliver educational content are more trustworthy.
It is predominantly believed that after reading a brands educationally based content, the customer is more likely to buy from that brand. This therefore means that early-stage, educational content generally strengthens the brands trust and conversions. With this in mind, you should move your content effort towards educational content in order to establish trust.
Let’s not forget that your target market are looking for answers right now and consequently if you can deliver these answers, then your brand will take the maximum return and potential from this situation. What is then really important to remember is that this success wont only be enjoyed now, it will of course be delivered into the future and may well overtake those competitors that have stopped their marketing efforts all together.
Customers must be earnt and in order to turn these into sales then transparency is imperative. They want to trust not only the business, but also the people behind the business and if we utilise this within our targeted key term campaign then we maximise our potential.
