Not every industry is created equally exciting, and some marketers may find it difficult to market their “boring industry” – but that doesn’t have to be the case! Our work at Uptick Marketing covers a wide range of industries including attorneys, industrial maintenance, foot doctors, various nonprofits, and so many others. Writing content for these businesses has broadened our knowledge of these categories and allowed us to create great content to engage our client’s target market! We discuss some of the things to keep content engaging, even if you find your topic boring, here.
Appeal to Your Audience
Even if you find the industry you’re writing about boring, the people you’re writing the information for will find it very interesting if it’s done right. This is their profession after all! Find the topics that most appeal to your target audience, and guide them through the customer journey one blog at a time.
The customer journey begins when a client discovers your product, and continues while they are aware of your product but not ready to purchase. After a purchase is made, the focus then becomes on retaining the client for future purchases! Knowing your audience and working on perfecting the content for each phase of the customer journey is an engaging process in itself, which challenges the writer to keep their audience engaged.
Be Engaging
Speaking of keeping an audience engaged, it’s very important that the content creators understand how to best do so! Anytime a writer is able to draw a reaction out of an audience, there is a higher chance that this information will be retained. Talking about heavily-debated topics or recent news is always a safe bet when it comes to bringing in new readers to your site; then, it’s your job to create a piece of work that’ll keep them reading!
Little changes in wording can go a long way when it comes to engagement. Simply stating facts is a good way to get information to your audience, but wording it in a way that directly captures their attention is going to bring in more people. Try to use titles and wording that inspires, teaches, empathizes, or assists your consumers!
