Like the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, content marketers have a unique opportunity to spread holiday cheer by creating engaging content for their audiences. And just like Scrooge, many businesses are realizing that the traditional methods of cold calling and direct mail are about as effective as a lump of coal. That’s where inbound marketing comes in, and blogging is one of the most effective ways to attract and engage potential customers.
The Ghost of Content Past: The High Cost of Cold Calling
According to a study by the Aberdeen Group, cold calling is the most expensive form of lead generation, with an average cost per lead of $185. That’s a lot of money to spend on a method that has a notoriously low success rate. In fact, only 2% of cold calls result in a sale.
The Ghost of Content Present: The Power of Blogging
Blogging is a much more cost-effective way to generate leads. In fact, businesses that blog generate 67% more leads than those that don’t. And because blogging is a form of inbound marketing, it attracts potential customers who are already interested in what you have to offer. This means that you’re more likely to generate leads that are qualified and ready to buy.
The Ghost of Content Future: The Importance of Creating Engaging Content
Not all blogs are created equal. In order to be successful, your blog needs to publish high-quality content that is relevant to your target audience. This means writing blog posts that are well-written, informative, and engaging. It also means using keywords that your target audience is searching for.
