What is your business philosophy?
We are strong believers that in order for customer-centric marketing strategies to be effective and successful, they need to deliver value to the customer as well as the business. Value, in terms of content, is material that meets a customers needs and desires by delivering something that is useful or interesting to them. (Just telling someone how great your company is does not deliver on that promise.)
The needs of the customer come first, and delivering valuable content to them will not only build a more trusting relationship with people before they ever purchase anything from you, but will also increase the retention of existing customers post-sale.
In order to succeed in a customer-centric approach, a data-driven approach must be employed. Data about your prospects and customers will help to inform and execute a targeted content marketing strategy designed to deliver measurable results against your core KPIs.
