This can include blogs on your website, videos, podcasts, books and e-books, as well as email marketing campaigns and regular social media posts. These strategies help establish your product and your business as the best out there.
Why does content marketing work for retail and ecommerce?
Retailers, whether online or a physical store, know that today's consumers want more information about products, including how they’re made and about the companies that make them. High-quality, educational content that piques the interest of your B2B audience and answers their questions makes the connection breakthrough. Once you have their attention, you have the opportunity to further explain your product and why it’s better than the competition.
