CM Content Marketing
is a type of marketing that involves the creation and sharing of online material (such as videos, blogs, and social media posts) that does not explicitly promote a brand but is intended to stimulate interest in its products or services.
Social media is an integral part of content marketing.
A good content marketing strategy involves more than knowing who your audience is and then putting content in front of them. Doing this will rarely deliver the rates of return that is possible from content. This is because a crucial part of maximizing the results of a content marketing campaign includes creating content that is relevant to your audience. This means understanding what they need, the problems they are trying to fix, what they desire, and what they find engaging. When you know the answers to these questions you can create content that resonates and you will keep your audience coming back for more.

Creating Content That’s Relevant
Why Content Marketing?
Perhaps more important than understand what content marketing is, is understanding why content marketing is important to your business. First we need to understand the four steps of the buying cycle:
- Awareness. Prior to awareness a customer may have a need, but they are not aware there is a solution.
- Research. Once a customer is aware there is a solution, they will perform research to educate themselves. For example, a car buyer will try to find out what different types of cars exist, and which one will fit their needs.
- Consideration. At this point the customer starts comparing different products from different vendors to make sure they’re getting a high quality product at a fair price.
- Buy. Finally, the customer makes their decision and moves forward with the transaction.
