Without further delay, let’s get into the steps.
Step 1 – Build a brand personality
Before promoting your site, build your unique brand personality. Countless existing websites offer value-adding digital content, but the majority fail to build lasting readership and generate qualified leads.
To win brand loyalty, you need a refreshing brand voice that speaks to your target audience. Statistics show that 86% of consumers prefer an authentic brand personality; 89% remain loyal to brands who share their values.
Cigna Hong Kong has successfully reinforced authenticity and professionalism in its brand character using digital content— Smart Health, an associate informative blog site.
Step 2 – Integrate content distribution channels
Make sure a consistent brand personality and messaging are delivered across all distribution channels as in your product site.
HBR’s retail study has found that over 70% of customers interact with a brand via multiple channels. Take advantage of this golden opportunity to drive site traffic through all content assets, including social media platforms, blog sites and email newsletters.
Consistency is key to solidify your brand recognition. According to Forbes, maintaining a consistent brand image across all platforms can increase revenue by up to 23%. But with the good comes the bad: If you fail to present a consistent brand personality, your digital content is likely to drown in the sea of businesses, alongside over 60 million active business pages.
Step 3 – Align the funnel to optimize product site traffic
This secret will determine the success of your previous efforts: Create a seamless transition from digital media channels to your product site.
Cigna Hong Kong is a success story— integrating email newsletter, blogsite with over 700 articles and a social platform with more than 30,000 followers.
The sequence matters. Content assets serve different purposes. Social platforms build brand awareness; newsletters for engaging prospects with interest; while quality blog content is best for converting traffic to leads. Your goal is to connect the dots and move your prospects down the funnel.
Depending on your budget, a short-term ad strategy driven by data will turbocharge your funnel and conversation at the right time.
