Content Marketing Components

Before we discuss the importance of content marketing, it is important to understand the components of content marketing. In its simplest form, it is the words (written or verbal) that come from your business on any platform. These are the words that describe your business or products/services to potential and current customers. To reiterate, this means content marketing is any and all words. Some common content marketing pieces are:

These are merely some of the many components of a content marketing plan.

Marketing Quotes

We do not want you to simply take our word on the importance of content marketing and what this powerful marketing tool means to your business. Therefore, below are some quotes on the importance and power of it from well-known business executives, authors, and more.

“Content is king.” – Bill Gates

“Great content is the best sales tool in the world.” – Marcus Sheridan

“Content marketing is all the marketing that’s left.” – Seth Godin

“The buyer journey is nothing more than a series of questions that must be answered.” – Michael Brenner

“Content is fire. Social media is gasoline.” – Jay Baer

Now that you have seen these quotes, you are probably seeing a pattern that content is important. Any marketing campaign needs content for it to resonate with your audience.

The Power of Words

Why use words? Why are words important?

People always say a picture is worth a thousand words, but often fail to realize words are equally powerful. Words can inspire, entertain, educate, and even persuade. That latter item, persuading, is what marketing is all about. How can a business attempt to persuade someone to buy their product or service without using the right words to share what it is and why someone needs it? This two-part question is why content marketing is important to every single business.

Creating a Content Marketing Story

The core of any good plan is creating a captivating story. After all, a business needs to share their story to sell their product or service. This story should answer the following questions:

  • What is your product or service?
  • How can your product or service help your target audience?
  • Will your product or service make your target audience’s lives better?
  • Why should your target audience buy your product or service?
  • What sets your product or service apart from the competition?

By answering these questions, you create a compelling story for your intended audience on your brand and product/service. Compelling often translates to persuasion and persuasion often translates to sales!

When creating your story it is important to consider one more quote. “Make your customers the hero of your stories.” – Ann Handley
