Voice
Content marketing gives your company a voice, making the consumer feel as if they are conversing with a person rather than a corporate machine. Having open forums and starting conversation after providing information is a great way to encourage engagement between business and consumer. Once you have a voice you begin to build a relationship with the customer. Relationship building As you may know by now, It is more popular for consumers to research a company online before buying a product or service from that company. Many of these consumers turn to reviews, referrals, social media, and you guessed it - content! Having an open forum, like stated above, humanizes the company.
