How Does Content Marketing Help in Growing Business

Amid a fierce competition and tussle in the business world, it has become very vital for healthcare brands to utilise best ideas to succeed.

The Indian retail industry accounts for over 10 per cent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and around 8 per cent of the employment. India is the world’s fifth-largest global destination in the retail space.

India’s retail market is expected to nearly double to US$ 1 trillion by 2020 from US$ 600 billion in 2015, driven by income growth, urbanisation and attitudinal shifts. While the overall retail market is expected to grow at 12 per cent per annum, modern trade would expand twice as fast at 20 per cent per annum and traditional trade at 10 per cent.

India’s Business to Business (B2B) e-commerce market is expected to reach US$ 700 billion by 2020.

Here are a few points to back why content marketing is important for retail brands to rise above all.

Thread of Connection

The retail brand needs to tell the customer about the company, how it works, how it started and everything about the company, so that the customers feel connected. Through this connection thread the customers will be able to place its first brick of trust and will be able to knot other people in the same thread.

For example, the brief will help the customers to understand about the company, so that he/she can recommend or at least suggest his family and friends to pay a visit and get helped.

Human touch

Sometimes a pinch of emotion or a human angle can do wonders. It is easy to connect through some human centric angles. It will give a boost to the confidence of the people to trust on the company to get cured.

If a couple of human stories, who were benefitted by the brand and of people, who are directly or indirectly associated with the brand, were displayed on the website, people will get confidence to rest their trust upon the brand.

Engaging Videos

These days a lot of brands are making a human interest advertisement, which helps the audience feel connected with the brand.

Socialise

The advertisements and important information can be circulated to large mass through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. If the brand is renowned, everybody must know about it but if it is a startup then not many people will be aware of the brand.

Thus pushing the advertisements, videos and stories on various social media portals will help people to know about the brand.
