The latest catch phrase for marketers today is content marketing. Of course, we've always done 'content marketing,' creating and sharing brochures, datasheets, websites, press releases and more. The key difference is that we now have more channels to share content than ever before - from email platforms like Constant Contact to full-on blogs and a large selection of social networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and YouTube.
Good, solid content is like money in the bank for marketers, but if your content is lacking – it may leave your marketing strategy feeling a little bankrupt. Content keeps you front and center in the eyes of target audiences, and the ability to supply a steady stream of fresh, relevant content ensures you're remembered when your customers need you.
