How to Create Content that Generates Exposure, Loyalty and Sales

Good content strengthens relationships with your customers. “If you hit the right emotional buttons, your content allows people to engage, to trust you and to want to talk with you,” writes Cheryl Snapp Conner, CEO of SnappConner PR. Trust and engagement—isn’t that what we desire from prospects and current customers?

Some people hesitate to create content because they don’t understand the payoff for the investment. A great article will likely include research and several edits, but as Snapp Conner points out, “When it’s complete, you can break the 1,000 words into a series of tweets. You can do a short video on the topic. Even better, embed the video into the article. Talk about the theme on a podcast.” One piece of content can work hard for you, building trust and creating engagement in multiple arenas.

Read “How to Create Content that Generates Exposure, Loyalty and Sales” for more tips from Snapp Conner, as well as insights from Jeremy Knauff, CEO of Spartan Media. Together they offer fresh perspectives on why your business needs to provide content as part of its marketing campaign.

The difficult part is knowing how to deliver one. This article highlights a few aspects that can go wrong with your elevator pitch, along with solutions to make sure that in your short window of time, you’re communicating an intentional message.

For clients, it’s often a proposed solution to a real problem.” As Johansson states, you must know who you’re talking with—and adjust your pitch accordingly. Easy to understand, harder to do. She provides good tips on how to create, polish, and tweak a distinctive elevator pitch
