Content Marketing Strategy
content marketing: communicating with your customers and prospects without selling. It is non-interruption marketing. Instead of pitching your products or services, you are delivering information that makes your buyer more informed.
As brands increase their social footprint, they take advantage of users who are motivated to share branded content with their social circles thus igniting a “momentum effect.”
• Fresh, relevant & timely content across all channels
• CHANNELS - Aggressively acquire new prospects across all channels, but with a priority of Facebook, Twitter & Mobile Phone (for Text program)
• ASK A LOCAL - incent/acquire more locals-generated tips and launch an Android version of the app (late 2012)
• MILLENIALS – focus on younger generation - expand video content
