🙋🏽‍♀️How do you create headlines + content that maintains the interest of your customers?

✅1. Pique their attention with mystery.🤔

Curiosity is a very strong desire to play with for great conversion.

Your headline NEEDS to create curiosity and ask questions in the minds of your audience.

Examples:

"This could be for you...”

✅2. Task their minds with questions.

Questions are a great way to pique your audience's curiosity + get their attention.

The opening line creates an open loop in their minds + gains attention.

Example:
“What if you could...”

✅3. Make it Personable

“A person’s name is to him or her the sweetest and most important sound in any language.” Dale Carnegie

These help you stand out + grab attention.

Examples:

"Hey Mark, special offer for you..."

"Thought you'd want to see this, Adriana!"

This works best in emails

✅4. Use a Story

Use stories for colder audiences.

Guide them from.......

-Rags to riches
-A great discovery
-How someone achieved something epic

Take them from A to B and make your product the *magical ingredient* that made it possible.

✅5. If you have a product/offer, let them know.

Sometimes, being direct is best.

If you have a sale, offer, or discount - say it!

Pro Tip: Combine with urgency for even better results.

Happy Marketing!😁

🙋🏽‍♀️How can I build trust with my content?

People want to buy from brands they can trust.

Are you using content to establish trusting relationships with your potential consumers? If not, here’s how you can start.👇🏾

✅ 1) Emphasize Helping over Selling

In other words, put your audience's needs first. If the only message they ever get from you is all about sales, you are not giving them any reason to trust you.

Give your time and resources to research your audience’s needs and interests, and commit to helping them by creating and publishing relationship focused and solution-driven content.

A sales pitch from a trusted brand wins. But you must become trusted first!

✅ 2) Become the Industry’s Go-To Brand

You want to be the kind of brand people look to for answers.

When people need answers to questions related to mortgages, your content should be able to help them.

Providing expert information that people find useful will keep them coming back for more, which encourages more loyal customers.

You helped them once and they know you can help them again. That’s Trust.

✅ 3) Stay Consistent

Ensure you are consistent not only by posting regularly but also in your messaging, persona, and actions.

To build trust, your audience has to see you regularly and be able to identify your brand consistently.

Make sure to have brand guidelines - your language style, tone of voice, and core messages should be consistent across all channels.

Show up and be consistent!

✅ 4) Engage Your Audience

To build a trusting relationship with your audience, you have to be responsive. This involves engaging with your audience, replying to their comments, and answering their questions.

Being responsive also involves analyzing your past content and seeing the ones your audience responds to more and giving them more of that kind of content.

Address Negative Feedback - It can be challenging but it’s a great way to let your audience know you care.

Own up to your mistakes when you make them. People will appreciate your honesty.

Remember, you are writing for your audience, stay responsive to their reactions.

The need for building trust as a brand cannot be overemphasized and through content marketing, you can effectively achieve it!

Happy Marketing!😊

🤔How can content marketing help your financial institution?⬇️⬇️

When it’s done right, it can really help take your FI to the next level.

Content Marketing helps you:

✅ 1) Attract customers without a sales pitch

Great content not only educates your readers, it also exposes how you can help them solve their problems without appearing salesy.

Through content marketing, you are able to build a relationship with your audience with trust at the core.

People buy from who they trust.

✅ 2) Establish Credibility

Creating quality content will help establish credibility for you.

When people read your content, they start to develop an opinion of your brand. If the content that they find is credible, factual, and valuable, they will start to think the same things about your brand.

By consistently publishing great content, your target customer will come to see you as a leader in the industry.

✅ 3) Cultivate Loyal Fans

Readers who enjoy and benefit from your content are very likely to become brand advocates.

Nothing beats having a cult of loyal fans.😁

Your fans will influence their families and friends to purchase your product as they see that your brand provides value.

✅ 4) Set Apart

The world is busy, it is therefore vital that your FI differentiates itself from competitors.

Content marketing is the most effective way to set yourself apart from others.

With content; you can show ⬇️

- What makes your brand special!

The topics and value of the content you create can mean the difference between a consumer choosing you over a competitor.

⭐️Remember, every time you publish a content 👇🏾

You’re showing your audience

- How much you know about your industry and the challenges that they face.

When it comes time to make a purchase, people will remember the brand that provided them with the information they needed.

💡See this👇🏾

“Content marketing is the new normal from the consumer side.”

People expect you to share quality content with them before buying from you, therefore, neglecting content marketing is way riskier than investing in it!

Happy Marketing!😊
