5 Ways to Nurture Visitors With Your Content

Inbound marketing

Inbound Marketing is a technique for drawing customers to products and services via content marketing, social media marketing and search engine optimization.

Inbound Marketing is not only about attracting the audiences, it is also about many other metrics such as:

  • How to generate leads
  • Making online presence
  • Nurturing leads
  • Staying in touch with customers
  • Optimizing sales conversions

Inbound Marketing is a strategy that utilizes various channels like – Content, Blogging, Email Opt-ins, SEO, SEM, Social Media etc. for “Pull Marketing.”

When compared to outbound marketing, under Inbound Marketing the users takes the action first based on their interest. People today visit the website more for research rather than to buy. The buying process of the customer has changed with time. Today when a customer decides to make a purchase, they first involve themselves in scanning through the numbers of information available related to the product of their interest. The buyers go through various stages before the final decision making to buy any product.

At this very stage content plays a vital role when it comes to engaging and nurturing the customers for any business. In order to attract more audiences to the business it becomes essential for the marketer to plan the content in such a way that it enables the customers to stay back and engage themselves with the given information.

Content – when designed effectively focusing on the customers interests, helps to bring attention to your offerings and retain the customers to the website for the longer period of time. It is very essential to focus that the content should be based on the buying cycle of the customers, which will further help in building trust.

As it is said- “The more you invest, the greater return you get.” Content should be planned in a way that it hits the mind of the customers and stays there for long.

How this can be done? Keeping few effective things in mind will trigger the right content ideas:

  • Identify the target audience and learn effectively about their buying behaviour
  • Think why your audience should engage with your offering
  • Decide on the delivery process – Blog/ Facebook/ Twitter/ Email etc

analyze how it will help in engaging the customers to the given information. Content that results in getting clicks and repeat visitors is said to be appealing. In order to measure the effectiveness of content engagement, the following can be analyzed on regular intervals:

  • Visits: Total number of visits the website is getting
  • Bounce Rate: High bounce rate indicates the low quality of the content
  • Time on Site: if the visitor is staying long then it indicated that the content is interesting and relevant
  • Comments: If a visitor leaves comment then it is an indicator that effort for engaging are correct
  • Email-Open Rate: How much click through are achieved by the emails sent that are opened
  • Re-Conversions: If the information is downloaded or saved, it will indicate the success of lead nurturing efforts.
